Will we be able to see a pic of the internals soon? I'm super interested in how this thing was designed.
In discussing this further with my engineer, we are not going to go into the details of the mechanism to convert the M10 open bolt fire control to the closed bolt system for use with the AR upper receivers. This is the part of this adapter that is basis of our patent. But a patent is only as good as the amount of money that can be spent on a lawyer to defend that patent.
Once we actually come to market with the project all the details will be revealed. But our engineer pointed out, the longer the time between giving the details of the mechanism and actually selling the product, the more time that someone might able to use our design work and try to go around our patent. It brings to mind the Lage internal recoil system. Richard didn't release the details of that system until just before the Max-11/15 started to ship. Now I get it. The rest of the Max-11/15 is a refinement of the S.A.B.R.E. The S.A.B.R.E. mechanism is public knowledge and was not patented. But the I.R.S. is not. The "Fat 47" seems similar to the a cross between the S.A.B.R.E. in 7.62x39 and the Max-11/15. But since there is no patent anyone can build a similar open bolt upper. I get that you guys want more details. For the protection of our patented idea, we need to bring the Tenko 10-16 adapters to market before giving all the details. I would hope that everyone will understand. This is a huge undertaking for our family. We are going to try to give A&S Conversions L.L.C. the best opportunity to succeed. We would appreciate your understanding.
