this is what I am waiting for, well the 223 conversion anyway 300 blackout is pointless as we are not allowed suppressors over here

What Mark's setting out to do with this .223 conversion is not trivial at all. I'll be impressed if he pulls it off.

[Archaos]

Mark already has a working prototype, he is doing some refinements now. I can't wait.

It will be interesting to see how this turns out. We have had a lot of requests for a .223 conversion kit in the past.

[Archaos]

Every DTA owner in Australia would buy one.

Aint that the truth, that and a 22LR

Alright guys, got an email from Mark this morning...here's the official update:

Thank you for reaching out and letting me know about the forum. Just incase anybody asks you, here is the official update.

We have a working/firing/feeing/extracting/ejecting prototype, we will call this our Rev 1 223. We are working on a new Rev 2 223 conversion that is doing everything Rev 1 223 conversion did, but better. The Rev 2 conversion is not a firing version at this point however. We are getting some made up in the next week that I will be able to fire and I will post some videos shortly. We also have a few high capacity magazines that we are working on at the same time.

For the 300 Blackout. I'm having trouble making it work 100% of the time due to the short nature of this round. Short 40 gr 223 rounds feed great and the longer match bullets (69-80gr) feed even better.

So I wonder how big the Australian group buy will be. I'm guessing around 15-20 straight up. Marks going to be a busy man.
