    WEVO Group buy: Lantac RPS



    The RPS is Lantac’s ratcheting plate system that replaces the standard castle nut/end plate and removes the need for staking. The system includes a QD mount in the end plate.

    Who is interested in a group buy if the Lantac RPS? Only agree if you are willing to commit. We need a minimum of 10 to figure out pricing.

    Lantac confirmed roughly 30-35% off MSRP of $50. This deal will not be available after the group buy is finished.

    34 units committed (as of 7/5).

    Just so people don't get confused and think this is a $5 End plate with a $3 Castle Nut.

    Full MSRP is $49.99

    Do you want to be added to the list!??

    I asked Aaron to clarify a group cost for us.

    The competition to this is from PWS. Theirs is $30. And I’m not a fan of loose tolerance of the locking mechanism.

    Not sure yet.

    Depends on the pricing.

    What is the difference between Lantac’a and PWS’s?

    I’ve had significant issues with PWS end plates. The nipples are not tall enough to thoroughly engage the buffer tube slot and in the process of mounting ruined two Vltor A5 tubes in spite of trying to hold the tube while tightening it. I did communicate with PWS and they sent me two new end plates that had the same issue with them nipple, and the new ones had black magic marker on them.

    Have you used these yet?

    Thanks!

    This is a new product, un-released. Aaron will have to chime in on durability and testing specs. Thanks Fledge!

    Sorry to hear your bad luck with the PWS version that’s been out for awhile. The PWS design may rely on the receiver extension to be spec’d correctly. I have one of the PWS versions on a SBR with zero issues so far, I’m using a Vltor extension. If I had to pay more than $20 for it though, I would rather just stake it. The Lantac looks cool though.

    I haven’t had any problems with the PWS version either.

    Mine is on a PWS tube. It feels no more secure than tightening a castle prior to staking.

    I also have a set in the parts bin. I guess I should sell it to put toward a Lantac. :) My propose for RPS is to complete my Lantac build. And their design with the offset lock built into the plate looks more secure (like a high end folding knife) and has fewer parts. But this is based only on pics. I’ve not heard problems from Raven owners.

    The Vltor is what I used with mine, both times. The first one I used was good to go, but 2 and 3 following were not. My own personal insight was I was trying to fix something that wasn’t exactly “broken” and ended up causing more problem than solution. But that’s just my own personal experiences. I think everyone’s mileage varies it seems.

    Seems a little steep, but I will commit just to try it out based on Lantac’s rep.

    Pricing is $49.99 MSRP. I could probably get somewhere in the %30-35 off range - not %100 sure yet as we're still figuring out the best way to manufacture these in bulk. But, I will not be able to extend any kind of big price breaks beyond this group buy. So, I need to be clear on that. If you're not in the group buy and then you come to me and ask me for the same deal and discount the answer will be no. This is a special thing I'm doing for you WEVO guys.

    So, our RPS is made out of 17-4 PH SS in the H900 condition and then will be QPQ / Nitrided. Most are 4140 and then phosphated. So, we're above most on corrosion and material stand point. Where ours differs from say PWS is we have no parts beyond the plate and nut. The teeth are machined into each part respectively. There's nothing to fall apart or break. BUT, since the teeth are integrated into each part, if you sit there and ratchet this thing 1000 times the tooth will likely go away. I've done my personal RPS about 65 times now with no loss in effectiveness of the system. But, lets be real. How often do you remove your castle nut?

    Happy to answer any other questions or concerns you guys got and I will update you with pricing and availability ASAP. I think we will be ready for full production in 2-3 weeks. Then it's easy street from there...


    I'll drop a little egg in here...

    How does the idea for a completely tool-less take down pin set sound? Meaning - no tools, magnets or anything required to swap mil spec take down and pivot pins to ours...cuz we're working on something i think is pretty awesome.

    Aaron, glad you clarified this. I've been part of other group buys and inevitably someone who misses out on the buy or has regrets, start contacting the manufacturer demanding to be given the same price.

    30-35% is pretty damn good, so I'm in for at least one now.
