  • Is there a reason you guys used 6061 vs 7075??? Industry standard??

  • It's one of those polarizing discussions that has been raging for years. There are many companies making receivers from 6061, even more making them from ... plastic. We use 6061-T6 which is hardened, and in our application was chosen by our engineers who have been cutting chips in the aerospace and defense industry for 50 years. We cede to that knowledge and expertise.

    I guess the larger question is why is 7075 the "industry standard"? That's an easier reply;

    90%+ of all AR receivers are made by a very few forgers and then finish machined. 7075 is much easier to forge than 6061. When the Milspec was written for US Mil M-series rifles, it was written for these forged receivers, which were only made in 7075. There was no provision for the way the industry has headed. This provides the public with a false sense of knowledge into the industry.

  • Got the CQB version on pre order, honestly I'm a proud Canadian that is proud to support a Canadian Arms Manufacture.

    Keep up the good work!

  • Dammit.......WANT!

  • U need to invent a slide fire stock that looks stock.

  • why does the foregrip pinch bolt area look so bent ?

  • The most important function of the receiver is to hold the barrel and bolt carrier in alignment. This requires stiffness. A thick walled 6061 machined billet or extrusion is stiffer than a thin-walled 7075 forging.
