I am unsure if it has any way to 'tighten' the lockup of that take down pin, like the matrix and mega do however. I really think I want the falkor.. Just - I like money as much as toys. =C there is no milspec with these large frame AR's it's the Wild West Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck, two cans of cerakote rattle paint.. *whistle* Chris sells them in cerakote OD green and FDE. I bought an AR-15 set in FDE from him and the cerakote was well done.

308lrnewb Posted June 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 So.. I emailed Falkor yesterday.. This morning, I had this email response: ------------------------- You shouldn't have to ever put a tensioning screw in our receivers but there is a threaded hole near the pistol grip if a guy wanted to. I'll tell you that our receiver sets are extremely tight... like stick together without pins in tight. We pride ourselves on holding that tolerance and you can expect that quality when you order our set. You can order in gray cerakote or black. We can have custom cerekote colors done as well but you'll have to call in to order something custom. Attached you will find HG dimensions for the 308 tranny. You can order the Tranny and set together but you'll have to call in and speak to someone to order. Yes you can make the money order out to Falkor Defense for the total that we'll discuss on the phone. We will need you to let us know the FFL you want us to ship it to and we'll contact them for a copy of their FFL paperwork. Let us know when you are ready to order and we'll get started on getting your parts ready.Thank you,Josh ClarkExecutive DirectorFalkor SID, Inc. ------------------------- I included the same file he sent me. Seems like it is a decent receiver set. Saving my money for one. Unsure if anyone else has this setup so far. Thinking that 16" tranny handguard with that 308 mirrored ambi receiver set. Oh, sorry for all the whiplash and "seasickness" to anyone whom may be suffering from my flitting desires! Thought I would share this to anyone else whom may be intrigued by this company.

308lrnewb Posted July 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 ok, so I have been watching the news and.. all the crazy people are getting to me. a lot. Was considering jumping on the matrix bandwagon.. BUT - central florida firearms is no more? They became live free armory. the receivers are claimed to be the same.. but now it says goofy stuff on the side, versus matrix. *shrug* Who can chime in on all this? The continuous media stream is making me worried about changes to the firearms law for us law abiding citizens.. because restricting us is going to fix the problem. -_- anyways.. I still really like the falkor defense, just.. It was a matter of 'hmm.. this is a bit cheaper'. though, i seem to know little about the change over. The gentleman i spoke with said they did some name change when moving locations, blah blah blah, they receive the upper/lower set in the white, degrease, sandblast then cerakote/bake. I am unsure.. The URL says matrix aerospace receivers on the livefreearmory.com page. What does everyone chime in as? My thoughts were simple - Maybe a compromise will be best.. Seeing as.. time is running short before all the crookback politicians midnight sign some malarkey.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

308lrnewb Posted July 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 I agree - looks good. However.. Aero m5's - out of stock most everywhere. I have not seen one in stock from the time i began looking to build. next runner up? Seems matrix is out of stock. CFA is wayside - now they have their own stuff as livefreearmory. Hmmm...

308lrnewb Posted July 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 They started as SI defense? I really like it.. just.. Hmm. the falkor requires the 45* safety. Who makes a good one, other than BAD?Is the HPerfire trigger any good? I like the carbine looks a lot.. just, are they all that good for stretching out? The optic I am intending to throw on is a 1-6power lens so.. I was leaning at the VCOG however, the mark 6 by leupold really has me thinking twice. Thank you everyone!

I just installed both the hiperfire 24c and bad 45 on my current build. Not fired yet but I like the safety so far, and the trigger comes suggested by many here I know @washguy likes them and that was enough for me. I think I like the 45* short through better than the 90* actually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
