Polymer80 offering non-bridge (Original) frame replacements

[Yarome]

That's kind of decent of them. They are offering an orginal version frame replacement for those people that bought a bridge frame. $25 and free shipping. To note that they don't include the rails and pins with it, but if you bungled your bridge frame, it might be a good option to salvage your project.

They didn't provide a web link, but here's a snippet from their email notification: (The email address is difficult to see: support-at-polymer80-dot-com)

What is a bridge frame, I'm curious? Was this like gen 1 or something?

What is a bridge frame, I'm curious? Was this like gen 1 or something?

A more recent version to make a "76%" frame requiring the removal of additional material. If you notice the photo above, the most obvious was the adddition of a grill of material blocking the trigger housing/rail area. There was also additional material in the locking block channels, but not as obvious in the photo.

It was intended as a means to subvert the "80%" classification. A lot of people had great difficulty in the removal and a lot of frames got bungled or sections had to be rebuilt with epoxy or such, I guess.
