Speaking of interchangeable mag wells and such, have a look at this:

The "modular" AR-15 lower receiver is featured in a DVD available through DIYguns.com. Check out how the side plates are separate and the various components fit together. That simplifies the machine work and adds an interesting number of configuration options.

Very nice!
There was a company (MGI?) marketing ARs with interchangeable mag wells - even had one in .30-06, using military BAR mags. IIRC, Bushmaster bought them out...

Holycrap that is AWESOME! That just gave me all kinds of ideas. They need to start making those parts out of carbon fiber instead of milled billet...and then figure out a way to make them snap together rather than secured by screws.
