I heard 260 Remington was what it was chambered in not 6.5
Its been awhile since I have spoken to anyone with actual knowledge on it, but 260 was certainly the big secret sauce talk for awhile.
On a side note, engineers at Picatinny have been less than impressed with the smoothness of the new MG ammo and weapon compatibility. However, its been almost a year since I've been to the Arsenal, so maybe everything is fixed and running smooth now.
I heard the same, but then saw several photos of Delta guys on protection details rocking Sig MCX 11.5" rifles. Guessing the ability to fold and be a bit more discrete is important for that kind of operation, but that's just pure speculation from me.
It's simply difficult to get reliable information about SFOD-D and what equipment they're running. Unlike the SEAL teams, they're not interested in PR, and the only time most people will ever find out exactly what gear they're using is if they're a vendor getting a special request for customized gear from SFOD-D. Even then, it doesn't necessarily mean it's being widely adopted by Delta. They buy a lot of small batches of gear simply to evaluate it to see if it offers an upgrade over what they're currently deploying with. The magic of having a good R&D budget for their armory.
The specialized Army and Navy units with R&D in their charter will perpetually have a flow of new widgets cascading through use, no surprise.
"regular" SOCOM.. NSW, Ranger Regt, AFSOC, and to a lesser extent SF have some psuedo R&D wiggle room.
also keep in mind that some organizations have staffed machine, fab, and sew shops internally to make custom gear and whatnot.
There are also a lot of companies that will give a product away for free if they think it might get seen or spoken of. And some companies that will hire a guy straight outta uniform.
There is generally a metric ton of ****ery around claims of SOF use. The saddest part, is, its irrelevant. No one has the same requirements, and few have equivalent skill or background.
Might as well be whacking it to 25yo lesbian supermodels.
The SP10’s are legit large frame rifles. As stated earlier in the thread, they’ve been in service since 2019. The SP10M is essentially the same gun as the newer SP10’s with the heavier barrel profile and lengthened gas system. I don’t like the melonited bcg’s, but other than that, they are on par with the other high end Mil grade 6.5’s and 308’s.
