V7 Weapon Systems

[Dead Man]

Do we even have any listed weights for these parts to begin with?

I like that other than cost these V7 items are basically free weight savings in terms of function in the weapon system.

I just finished putting together a DDM4v5 LW with more attention to budget than part weights. With optic, sights, and light it weights 8lb2oz (130oz)


I sure would rather hump my 6lb (96oz), soon to be sub-6lb, rifle than an 8lb rifle, over any significant distance.

The first thing I noticed was the $77 Inconel gas tube. That baby should last forever!

Weight savings is one thing but a product with an actual useful added advantage is much more likely to take my money. But I've had the opportunity to shoot an extremely bare bones 14.5 ~5lb setup before and enjoyed very little about how it handled, so I guess I'm not exactly the target audience here.

I knew going lightweight had it's costs but it looks like cost can't be a concern for those looking to squeeze out those last few fractions.

Cost/benefit just isn't there for me, I'd rather have a good gun and a backup quality upper than sinking a bunch of money into something like this.

Recoil? Muzzle rise?

Wanting to try something different, I'm working on a 'superlight' Title I rifle. I bought stuff because of this thread, and am excited about it.

AIM Surplus has a 16" medcon V7 for sale. The barrel carries a 1moa guarantee and lifetime warranty.

I contacted Joel to ask about this. He says the warranty is good regardless of firing schedule to include full-auto use.

I wonder if the v7 match chamber is similar to the Noveske Mmod0, otherwise the thing looks identical to a recon barrel... Guaranteed 1 moa is pretty slick!

V7 now has aluminum alloy pins in black, which are lighter still than the bare finish titanium takedown/pivot pins.

I am waiting on a set to arrive.
