Matt,

Magpul lowers are definitely going to fall into that "collector's item" category, and the only way for the masses to get their hands on one is to be fortunate enough to pick up one of the limited run Noveske/Magpul rifles -- which Ryo and I both did on the latest MOE release. To date, this Noveske/Magpul collaboration has resulted in the release of exactly 100 of these A series lowers. More may be in the offing, but how many more -- and when -- is anyone's guess. There are no guarantees.

The China Doll lower (C series) is not available at any price, nor in conjunction with any particular run of rifles. It is reserved strictly for gift purposes from Magpul execs to selected individuals who have made "substantive contributions" of one sort or another in the eyes of Magpul management. In other words, you may someday be able to earn one if you're extremely fortunate, but you will never be able to purchase one. I believe Stickman has a bit more about this lower posted in his WEVO Guide to Billet Lowers.
