Iceng mounts are very nice and well made, Iceng did all my rebarrelling and accurizing work as well. Would definitely recommend, the team have always been super friendly and always up for a yarn. Will be seeing them very soon to have my bottom metal cerakoted.

Iceng, has been answering my questions. Just keep in mind guys there is a time difference between the US and Aust.
I've got one or two more questions for him before we move forward.
Hang loose...

I think the time difference is like +14hrs or something.
My one customer in Aust. is +15 hours.
I accidently one time called him and wasn't even thinking about the time difference and called him at like 1am his time. Woke him up.... as he picked up the phone I said, "oooo shit... I'm sorry!" He said it's cool Frank.... I picked up so lets talk! I felt horrible!
Most of us are used to that. The amount of times ive had to wake up at 1am just to ring USA is depressing.
Also, flying to US from AU. I land about 2hr after I take off. Leave at 6am, land at 8am same day. Flight home, a whole day is completely gone. Time zones are fun.

Welcome to my daily existence! I don’t like saying I’m a pilot. More a time traveler
Any more pics? I’m curious how the mount looks with a scope mounted. My TBA mount has a pretty wide gap on the rings.
Looks great! There is suppose to be a bulk import into the U.S I’m wondering when they are gonna be ready.
Sorry for the lack of communication. Had some personal stuff come up which took my attention over the holidays.
I'm back, and I'm sending 40 sets to black oxide hopefully tomorrow. Man it take a while to hand finish and inspect these. Came out real nice.
Also, 5 lefties for the people who are handicapped.
We need to get one or two over here to look it over to make sure it's all good. I asked about that a while back and was told it wasn't a problem. I have one of the first ones that where made. The distance between the front lug and back lug was to long. I had to remachine it in order to make it fit. Also the width of the back lug was too wide as well. I tried the mount I have on two different receivers. One machined by GAP for my M40A1 build and a factory clip slotted 40x. With out fixing the lug dimensions it wouldn't fit on either one. Once I fixed the lug dimensions it fit both receivers really nice but one receiver only 1 screw hole of the base lined up with the scope base holes in the receiver. In the other receiver the back two screw holes lined up but the front two neither screw would go in. So the dimensions and tolerances of the screw holes would need to be checked and verified that these will work as well. I hadn't heard anything in a while so.....
@Frank Green still planning on sending you a sample with the revisions you requested. They have all been done to the dimension adjustments you gave me.
The original (real or fake) mount I sampled had a wider base at the rear, and I guess so it can be made to an exact fit on your receiver clip slot. Yes it would be nice to have everything within a tolerance spec for every part between every mating surface, however some things are out of our control, an example being one receiver to another that only one screw would fit on one, and the other had 2. This difference between receivers is hard to over come from a "one size fits all", however it is possible to make things fit with some basic machining and adjusting to make it sit perfect.

Frank, I know we communicated before and I would be interested in purchasing one once you have reviewed them. I currently have a repo mount by on my GAP built m40a1 made by another source (who we all have heard of that source and the issues) would like to get one that is an exact visual repo and I have confidence in with a high round count. Thanks. Mike

Finally got my test pieces back from black oxide treatment. The oil makes it shine, it's quite matte.
Yes, I have a few left handers available.
Are the test pieces going to be sent to Frank and Bartlein? Or whats the plan for US sales?
@Frank Green will receive test pieces. I can sell direct, I have no problem sending them, however Frank did request first lot.
I do have enough to cover his initial request, plus a few spares, plus the leftys (5).
If they sell out quickly, I'll do another group buy or whatever.

I'll be in touch to see what we need for paperwork to get the sample pieces over here.
I've been in contact with @Frank Green and due to an excess workload and change in situation, he won't be handling the group buy.
FEAR NOT ! We have just about finished adding them to our webstore, specifically for SH customers.
I'll take a picture of them all lined up shortly.
I DONT have the "group buy" list that Frank had, so don't know who wanted them. We have 4 LH and 30 RH (i think, might be 3 LH ?)
PM me if you want one or 2, RH or LH, and a way to contact you (email is preferred, so we can email link / details easily).
