I just got my tracking info from him, my package should be here on Friday.

I got my 10/22 receivers today and they look great. I'll kiss up some photos later this weekend.

Did I miss the pictures ?

[boltons75]

Sorry been busy and haven't snapped the pics yet. They will be up soon.

Aw, man! As if I didn't have enough projects to do. Now you guys have me salivating on building my own AR! If I do it, it's gonna have to be a .308, though. Thanks for the pics and the info!

I just heard back from the pebble peak campaign, he wanted 3 beta testers to send his receiver/jig to test, and he wanted someone that has been through this process. I volunteered and was chosen, so hopefully we will see something before too long.

Let me know how they are I volunteered too but not in time!

I will do, plan on doing detailed photos just like I did with my precision build.

Latest update on the Pebble Peak project, I have gotten my usps tracking info from Art, so has at least one other beta tester, and it shows in transit due on Wednesday. We are still not clear if the lower that is coming with the jig he's sending for testing is one of his creation, though I hope it is. I'll keep the updates coming, I know a lot of people are anxiously waiting positive reports on this particular campaign.

AWESOME! I can't wait to see how it goes for you as I'm waiting on one as well. Glad that a beta tester is on here. I know its behind schedule but I'm sure that is to be expected when a project is 10 times bigger than planned.

[boltons75]

According to tracking I should have it today.

This is the lower and jig that I received from Art.

Looks good. How's the fit in the jig?

[boltons75]

Seems ok, the jig is a molded plastic resin of some kind. It seems to be a copy of my 80% arms jig, all the holes match up. The holes on this jig will need to be cleaned up with the proper drill bit before using it. And there are areas that will need to be sanded flat.

Progress albeit very slow. Maybe there is hope for this guy. I read elsewhere that the jig had no way to secure the top plates. Also it seems his small mills are being used for the jigs ?? Thanks for posting.

I think he oversold his capabilities, and dug himself in deep. If he were to offer the lowers without a jig I am sure there would be takers to just get something from him. The lower looks strange, like it is milled forged aluminium or something. The crystal structure doesn't look normal.

Well, the holes to secure the top plates are there, they do need to be tapped though. And these are not machined at all, he made a mold of what I think is an 80% arms jig, I think this because I own that jig and all of the holes line up with it. They are cast from some type of plastic resin.

I'll be posting pictures of the two jigs side by side, and another of his jig once I have it cleaned up and tapped.

So how is it going.....?

[boltons75]

I'll be milling two receivers this week, one with a good jig and a precision arms receiver. And the receiver, which isn't one Art made, but rather bought and sent, with his jig this week.

[boltons75]

Ok, another reply, he finally replied to a message I sent him. I suggested that he should mold the jig without the drill holes, then once it's done set up his small mill to precisely place the holes the correct size. He is going to send out new jigs to us made with my recommendations.
