According to RPA's Facebook pag (https://www.facebook.com/RangerProof/photos/a.443482012352421.107325.443391255694830/745854568781829/?type=1&relevant_count=1)e, the projected date for the RPC1 release is approximately mid-May with previous purchasers of the Ranger Proof Carbines apparently getting a special price break with a voucher.
