About to do another M10 ACR Stock Adapter Run

[Deerhurst]

You could make an ace to PIC adapter. Just a flat piece of metal with screw holes and pic rail in the middle right?

I sketched up one that has a pic rail machined into it.

Can you put it on thingverse or whatever where you can buy metal 3d prints?

Eventually it will likely end up someplace like thingiverse. I havnt even gotten a chance to make one and see if the dimensions are correct! Not good for anybody if it doesn't fit!

I tried to do so... original maker is MIA, we are all SOL.
IDK if Mr. Deerhurst is going to try to make the same product? Other folks seem to want all kinds of custom jobs... I myself would still want the simple original as made.

I very likely won't be doing an ACR Adapter. I'm looking into a 1913 stock adapter. I have a design and a non-functional prototype. I need to find time in the machine shop to confirm tolerances.

If I had an ACR stock I'd probably look into that.

That's clear Sir. Thank you.

Still Zipp :-(
Middle finger only going on...

Here is the deal. I have one of the original adapters and have reached out to Norse to see if there is any issue with reproducing the adapter with no response. I can possibly have the adapter reversed engineered but the cost of the engineering, it has to be cut on a 5 axis machine to make sense and for that cost and time its considered an expensive endeavor. To make the endeavor possibly feasible and not guaranteed would be a minimum of 25 units. Is there a demand for 25+ units? What is the market cost acceptable to the NFA owner base for this adapter? Feedback is appreciated. I would like for others to have this option in the M10 and possibly in the M11 families

3d print it for sure.

 

[TENTEX]

No these would be billet aluminum and machined to tight tolerances then sent out to be anodized.

TEX that sounds great, real serious and not like tire kickers/some cheapos. The original was going for $160, I'm only one person but would pay $200 for the adapter itself for an M10. I wish their would be more than 25 serious folks who would want this. But talk is cheap, and have no idea how many others be ready and pay what price point? Let's see if folks are serious and reply, want this as well? Thanks for even considering this special niche project!

I'm a firm buyer for one at the original cost...$200 max. Above that and it gets ridiculous for the total cost of the stock / adapter assembly as a whole.

AFAIK, NF only ever promoted the adapters here. I think with some pics of a complete assembly and installed on the M10 over on Sturm and other boards...you'd sell way more than a paltry 25 unit run. GB'ers would gobble these up like crazy.

The question then, IMO, becomes are there enough ACR stocks left out there to fill the demand for the M10 adapters.

 

[TENTEX]

If I recall I thought someone bought the rights to the ACR stock originally produced by Magpul. There are more now than when I bought my adapter. Right now I’m targeting a price point of $250 shipped. Once again this is to bring the product to market. But after talking to a reputable fabricator there is a reason they aren’t made for $160 anymore.

Jordan didn’t patent it?

Nothing indicates it was, and not replying to several emails. Hope he is okay?

 

[A&S Conversions]

A patent is a license to defend your idea in court. If there is a disparity in the "war chest" of the parties, the one with more resources wins.

Well... not to get sidetracked... this can't just be so easy pooh-poohed, i.e. like everyone copied Glock's "Safe Action System" trigger and such. - Keep your eyes on the prize, and don't eat my french (Freedom) fries.

 

[Gaujo]

You can 3d print 20 of them for that price.

 

[TENTEX]

This is what I feared. People spent $5-$7K on a firearm and then want a $20 3D printed part for their full auto. I guess I might have to rethink this.
