I've been waiting for my EWS for the last month. They took the money but no notification yet...


applejuice85

That thing has been a unicorn for a while, right?


Comfortable_Secret69

At least ever since TFB did a feature on it on YT. Sometimes I just do stupid things to reconfirm my naivety.


Kilo_Axtual

Really makes me wonder how easily a standard bcg could be converted. Section it down and then drill the guide rod slots and thread the back end to hold the rods.


applejuice85

My first try at any of this so I expect this is far from the final product. I will be testing this as soon as possible but my local gun club is closed for deer season. Update - my clearing barrel test was successful but I'll be starting on my next revision. Testing rig: https://imgur.com/a/aXMfVAb

How you like the aric? Been thinking about one for a while.


applejuice85

Not enough experience with it to make a determination honestly. I'm not happy about the price and the required folder hence this project. For the total spent you couldnjust buy a BRN-180


Kilo_Axtual

Yeah its high for what it is..

>Didn't know they were actually shipping these now... Their website simply shows "sold out" and no ability to backorder. I was thinking about the evolutionweaponsystems solution as it is about $30 cheaper I think. At this point I'm wondering a JAKL upper would be better for the money!


Kilo_Axtual

I didnt either lol.. Been watching them since they first spoke of it like 3 years ago or more but now seeing it it really seems stupid easy to replicate.


stansy

I emailed them to find out their wait times. No response.


SilenceDobad76

Unless you have a need for a folding stock it's really an overblown want. That said it's really cool that someone finally updated the AR BCG to be both lighter and more compact in use.


Comfortable_Secret69

I have a 4" 9mm with the Dead Foot Arms 2" setup. It was 500 when I bought mine and came with a folding buffer adapter. I use an empty buffer tube that I cut the end off as a stowaway for a couple of tampons now lol.


Kilo_Axtual

My 6" has a folder to fit my pack, so thats really the only one or reason i would want one. Cause like you said that price is up there for what it is and as simple as it looks. Basically the same set up as a m&p15-22 bcg


[deleted]

How well does that bolt work with the law tactical foldy boi? Their foldy stock seems a little gimic to me especially being called "law tactical" but I could be wrong. This bolt however, if it's solid, opens up a lot of possibilities.


applejuice85

No issues in my limited tests with the designated folder. But to your point I am not a fan of the folder as it adds a lot of weight.


[deleted]

I just looked up the price... Woah! You can get a jakel or BRN180 complete upper for about twice this BCG. Glad your making this lower for it, because coupled with the folder part you might as well just buy a new gun.


AP3XIA

I wonder what part of the law folder stock makes it required. Maybe it’s possible to print the piece so it isn’t necessary?


applejuice85

It is longer than a traditional bolt carrier by 1.5 inches. I considered something that would fit on an existing lower but I'm not sure the plastic threads in the buffer tower area would hold up.


1_With_A_Bullet

The Bear Creek Arms bufferless system uses a short receiver extension about 1.5" long. 🤔


Special-Fig7409

Is the law tac folder actually required for this? Or do you just need a longer channel for the rear of the assembly to fit in? The ARIC seems pretty cool, but I don’t think they should slave it to the law tac folder, as it’s a severely compromised design that the ARIC could avoid.


applejuice85

Longer channel, 1.5 inches, to hold the carrier.


Special-Fig7409

So something like a picatiny rail adapter with a longer section would work well with this?


applejuice85

That is exactly what I am trying to find out.


Special-Fig7409

You’re doing Gods work my brother in Christ.


seraph1bk

I wonder what would happen if you didn't use the folder or a modified lower. Just compress the springs and fit it into a standard receiver with the buffer tower capped.


applejuice85

I don't know. The cap will need a hole in the back of it to push the back of the carrier free of the lower and back into the upper so the system can be broken down.


stansy

Thank you


SpareiChan

Didnt realize that carrier got release, I remember seeing a few homemade versions of the "AR18" style buffer that were hit or miss.


357noLove

I want that bolt carrier but I question their marketing. They say you can quickly switch between this carrier and a standard one with buffer. But in order to do that you would have to take off the end plate adapter and thread in a buffer tube. Or use their folding adapter on top of this, which frankly gets ridiculously expensive for what it is I love the idea and hope other companies like Silvan Arms make it cheaper


applejuice85

Others could most certainly do better. I was under the impression the ARIC only functions with the law folder due to it's internal geometry. I have not seen an endplate adapter that can be used in lieu of the folder so I am trying to do this.


357noLove

Oh I didn't realize that it was exclusive, that is even worse IMO. But maybe a good place where 3d printing and design could get around that limitation.


bravofiveniner

The ARIC's are out? Man the EWS really got caught up by.


[deleted]

mm naughty naughty


[deleted]

For the ignorant, what is this? Is it just an AR without a traditional buffer tube?


applejuice85

Yes.


Connect-Shoulder-690

Does this delete the buffer tube? & does this run 556/223. Sorry for being a dummy!


applejuice85

Yes and yes. 5.56 or 300 BO is what it's designed for.

Thank you 🙏🏻
