Shooter115 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Unless you already have the handguard, I'd look into other options since AP is no longer in business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Sierpina Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Loki went out a couple years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already have the AP customs handguard. Got a good deal on it. Have emailed Rhino Arms to see if they'll honor the warantee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stlhead Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 It's a handguard. If you already have it what difference does it make if the company is in business or not? Might as well use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, it'll be used. The comment about them being out of business came as a surprise since they're now Rhino Arms. Knew about Loki, wasn't sure about AP Customs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optimator Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 I'd go with a different lower. I've built a few Andersons and 2 of them had pretty tight magwells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueeyephil Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 I second at least checking the magwell fit. Last AR I built I used Anderson and it's tight with Magpul mags. If you haven't already installed the LPK you might want to go with a different lower, or open up the magwell and refinish the inside. Metal mags are fine, just pmags are tight on mine.

Kungfurabbit Posted March 12, 2016 Author Share Posted March 12, 2016 Thanks for the heads up, already have the lower but will definitely give it a fit check. I've mostly been using Lancer pmags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JordanGriffith Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Adjustable gas block and a low mass BCG if you're going to shoot it for competition. I have a friend that owns his own shop and he makes BCG's for a lot of AR manufacturers. He offers a light weight BCG for a great price.
