Lantac LA-SF15 Forged Receiver Set

UW, how do you like those over sized TD pins? Did those come with it?

They're just pieces of plastic to keep the upper and lower together during shipping.

[Aragorn]

Yeah if only Aaron could get us buffer setups... but I'm sure UPS would just jack them too.

If you happen to figure out the secret handshake for the buffer, get two.

Uhhhh yeah. If Aaron could facilitate a WEVO group buy, I'd be in for at least one.

Uhhhh yeah. If Aaron could facilitate a WEVO group buy, I'd be in for at least one.

Sorry Gents, that's not going to happen, just based on my side chats with him. At least not anytime soon.

Threw on a V Seven Port Door.

Already coloring outside the lines.

Their new barrel has dropped.

I've got a question out to them on IG whether the inside of the barrel is coated for longevity. With the degree of detail in manufacturing, I would hope melonite would be added for a long-term rifle.

UW, got any details on that?

[Stone]

"Proprietary black surface conversion finish" I am pretty sure that means Nitrocarberizing it is a surface conversion of the molecular structure. Melonite is Nitrocarberizing its just a patented name(Proprietary). I sure hope they drop a 16" barrel! I have a KA lower and a Hodge upper and rail this would be perfect for, then I would know what will be going in my next build. This deserves a thread of its own.

[fledge]

Stone, I hope you are right. I want it inside the barrel too to make the cost worthwhile. The description is vague.

Also, they said other lengths are coming soon.

Edit: Lantac said bore is coated too!

[Stone]

"they said other lengths are coming soon" Awesome! Yeah, great specs on that barrel. I could be wrong but I believe the whole barrel, inside and out has to be done when Nitrocarberizing. Its dipped in a super hot salt bath so I don't see how they could just do one or the other. Anyways, great news. Looking forward to this. You have a build planned?

[fledge]

Going to piece a complete Lantac together like UW. Every piece is supposed to be available soon, but adj buffer.

[GOST]

You doing the forged or billet like the Raven?

[fledge]

Forged. Got the idea from UW and thought it a good one.

[GOST]

And you said UW was coloring outside of the lines.

[fledge]

That's because he used a VSeven port door when the raven has a standard milspec.

[GOST]

A Raven uses a billet set, so both of you started outside of the lines. The Raven also doesn't use a milspec mag release button.
