Missed this by a bit, but two were dropped.

[Open Source Arms @OpenSourceArms]

I will release 2 major drawing packages by midnight (pacific).

OSA-15-LOWER-BETA SAILING

[Open Source Arms @OpenSourceArms]

OSA-15-HANDGUARD-BETA is sailing.

[Open Source Arms @OpenSourceArms]

Woops, we added a QD. Also fixed light mounts which stay with the upper.

[Open Source Arms @OpenSourceArms]

Drawings coming soon.

[Zach Mohr @mohr_zachary]

Your move @emm0sh

[Open Source Arms @OpenSourceArms]

@Stiff_D_Weiner Those are standard over the counter items, in other calibers we have goals of diy bolts and other components but we will have to work to that point.

[Open Source Arms @OpenSourceArms]

OSA-15-TRUNNION-BETA is sailing.

[Open Source Arms @OpenSourceArms]

@nukelese That would be a fair assumption. These are the designs that have fascinated me for years. Advancements in epoxy in rivets laser cutting click to form have pushed me over the edge.

[Open Source Arms @OpenSourceArms]

Self care is a very important part of the OSA-15 assembly process.

[Open Source Arms @OpenSourceArms]

@BrassKickerMFG @GreenWhiskey2 Honestly you may discover many ways in which you could do it differently and still accomplish a reasonable goal. Those plates may not need to be plates at all, could maybe be tubular spacers setting a distance with very few Trunnion plates.

[Open Source Arms @OpenSourceArms]

@SCH_Clay You can .make it hower er you like. Just adjust accordingly.

[Open Source Arms @OpenSourceArms]

@BrassKickerMFG @GreenWhiskey2 Laser and water cuts wander with depth. They are not cutable that thick with that detailed of a cross section.

[Open Source Arms @OpenSourceArms]

@Simon_Cleret I already spotted some balloons straight up conflicting with components. Even that one grinds my gears.

[Open Source Arms @OpenSourceArms]

@Simon_Cleret Can you let me make that an alpha goal for the OSA-15 drawing package? Maybe you will have a longer redline list by the time you are done? I appreciate the feedback.

[Open Source Arms @OpenSourceArms]

@mcdermatt Of course, in process. Sorry for the delay. I had hoped to get it all out today, but it will spill over the next few days.

[Open Source Arms @OpenSourceArms]

@Simon_Cleret Does your autism CAD? You can tidy them up and I will re-upload.

[Open Source Arms @OpenSourceArms]

@skum_systems @opensourcearms/OSA-15-TRUNNION-BETA has set sail, more to come.
