Just curious when these parts might become available? I have been checking for the last month and so far still not available. Would be nice to at least backorder them so when they do come it i can get these parts. Also not sure why you can get the enhanced lower parts kit in earth color, but not black and the grip is available separate.

These are two items I am waiting for also. I'm surprised that after several years of high demand and backorders the companies have not caught up.

Not sure, but for some reason this kit is available, only difference is the grip and the anti-rotation pins.  The black grip is available  The black anti-rotation pins are available  So why would the kit in all black not be available?

I think the FDE version of the kit showing available may be an oversight. There are key parts within the Enhanced LPK that have been lagging behind demand -- such as the billet trigger guard and the Ergo grip from time to time.
The buffer tube kits are out of stock due to the massive backlog on T2 buffers. We are turning out 10,000+ units per month and it still isn't enough. Trying to source more tungsten to add another build station for the buffers, but it is all higher cost than what the T2's are budgeted for. If our current contract on tungsten goes up on its' next renewal, the ST buffers will be hard to keep at their current price point.

Very annoying that you have to put the product in your cart to see if it is in stock, it used to show on the product page whether or not it is in stock.

Not at this time. There is no SKU for such a combination.

I can confirm that the fde enhanced lower parts it is not in stock, I ordered one this week and it is on backorder. I'm in no rush with this current build so it is all good.

Is there a backorder list I could sign up to be notified when this becomes available ? I know they don't last long when they come in. Last build I settled for the basic kit and bought a grip and trigger guard separately. Anyone want a basic grip and trigger guard cheap ??

The current iteration of the website has some features disabled due to bugs in the software. Availability notification does not work at this time. The next version of the website will have this functionality restored, along with many other features.
