I bought one of their AR-15 sets about a 9 months ago. Drove to their shop. Got a tour of all the CNC's. This dude in the video was next to me on the computer CAD designing receivers as his partner was putting together my set (ie: pins, bolt release, etc). Shot the shit with both for quite a while. This is a bad ass set. Not to mention they have a military/veteran discount that was like 20% off at the time. Don't know if that is still applicable or not? Great design, great designer.
Other than Ascend being total eye candy they are also local to me. Did my last build using their receiver set and I have to say Ascend is the best I have ever used! The attention to detail, tight tolerance and feel is above most other high end brands. Defiantly got more than I paid for!
How do I get hold of you? All parts on the upper and lower come with it? Castle nut, dust cover. I also want, an bigger forward assit! Instead of a round one! A flared out a bit. So if I get this? What with I need? I was my own bolt carrier and bold, my own barrel and butt stoc. And trigger. Please send me your contact.. Asap thank you
Hi there, we are a media outlet and we don’t do direct sales of any products we do videos on. Currently acsend receiver sets and parts have been taken over by Legion armory
Too bad these guys closed down :(. Really cool designs and ive been trying to get one of their Enhanced Castle nuts for a yr but they all sold out everywhere. Legion Armory makes their castle nut now but only bead blasted and in raw titanium
The ATF fucked up their paperwork and wouldn't allow them to make anything until the ATF got around to fixing their mistake. IIRC it was over 6 months of not being allowed to manufacture or sell what they had in stock. That would put anyone out of business. I was lucky enough to get 2 sets
Nothing at this price point is going to be forged, and Ascend has the tightest tolerances on the market; that inlcudes KAC, Radian, Noveske and Salient. The fit and finish is astoundingly good.
They're moving locations and joining with legion precision, super small operation but I just snagged two AR-10 receivers from them and they'll be dropping new AR-15 sets in a couple weeks.
I don’t think they are a joke, they had their struggles no doubt. However I know a little of what went on behind the scenes and they were good people that got dealt a few issues that they sadly couldn’t overcome. Still made very nice products regardless.

Hadn't heard of Ascend before... Their stuff looks great! Thanks for this and all the other triggercon coverage!

Dang it... every time I decide I'm finished building another AR, something like this comes out...
RIGHT!
Now I have to build another one!
jupppy I'm saying bro. Gotta get these as soon as I get back to the U.S.!
jupppy DUUUDE I feel the same way now I gotta have this!
If my plan to emigrate to USA works out as I want it to then I'm buying that two years from now!
Good Luck bro, hope you made it.
Just when you thought receiver sets could not get any better here comes another very innovated company.
I love it! Great review guys! Now I know what I will be buying when I build my .308
I dont mind too say that is one hell of a deal , nice work and the competition better get on the ball . Just checked there web site there sold out .
When will the Ambi mag release come out definitely looking for one for the 308 version
just got mine and its amazing
+The Watcher me too! They are amazing indeed. -Dave
I have a AR-15 set that I haven’t built yet. It’s almost to nice to use.
How do I get hold of you? All parts on the upper and lower come with it? Castle nut, dust cover.
I also want, an bigger forward assit! Instead of a round one! A flared out a bit.
So if I get this? What with I need? I was my own bolt carrier and bold, my own barrel and butt stoc.
And trigger.

Would a PDW style stock work with this set? I am wondering if the QD sling mount would prevent the stock from collapsing...
I’m not sure I’ll do some checking
When will you have a side charging option? Ar10
azukar2k7 check out the JP video on the LRI20 for a side charger
Getting ASAP for a nasty carbine build!
What happened to the AMBI mag release mentioned here? Still waiting....
Contact them for the latest. I’ll see if I hear anything as well. -Dave
Will POF drop in trigger work with this receiver
+James Shaffer it should

@@doncowboy6625 They are just joining with Legion Precision. Moved and have a new website.
They billet or forged?
Billet

Works of art for gun guys.
Btw he sounds like my Cambodian aunty lol.
Maybe if they’d answer emails
They're moving locations and joining with legion precision, super small operation but I just snagged two AR-10 receivers from them and they'll be dropping new AR-15 sets in a couple weeks.
Very nice I just don't like that it's missing a forward Assist
They make models with and without
I don't know about best value when just the AR15 set alone cost $700 Canadian!
I need to flick those ear lobes
Company is a joke

It’s a shame that they had problems but they were bought out by a firm in Avondale, AZ.
