    The exploded view is pretty cool on that osprey.

    Thanks again,

    What's the reasoning for going LW with the 11.5" uppers? I understand for the 14.5" and 16" configurations, but I would assume a lot of people who go with the 11.5" would be running a suppressor. Wouldn't a thinker profile be better for suppressor use?

    Are there any mod 2 14.5" uppers out there for purchase yet ? I've been looking for one.

    They are now added to my distributors inventory list. None in stock but they have been added to the system.

    The 14.5" uppers ? I'm very close to paying a huge upcharge for one with a medium contour, dimpled barrel. The only hesitation I have with the new ones is the possibility of a light weight profile barrel. I prefer the medium contour of the current generation.

    The dimpled barrel was good if you wanted a little more forward weight, but from a performance perspective, the current barrel is at the same level of performance as the dimpled mid-weight, with a possible edge in pure precision*.

    *Note: While 5.56 guns all get a function verification test, they are not shot for accuracy from the factory (other than the LPR). My data is limited to information collection only, not long-term definitive testing.

    I know I'm going against the grain but I like a little extra weight out there. Still not sure if the deal is gonna go through on this upper. I don't know if that's a bad thing as the upper alone would be more than a complete sr 15 mod 2.

    At this point I'm starting to question if there's enough of a difference in the 14.5 vs the Mod 2 16" or the future mod 2 14.5. If it doesn't go through I'll hold off until you guys put out the mod 2 14.5 uppers and pin the new MAMS to it. Maybe wait till after SHOT show ?

    Having had or shot the legacy, Mod 1, Mod 2 and 14.5 dimpled barrel guns I still prefer the 14.5 dimpled barrel guns. I could tell a difference shooting the 16" with MAMS and a 14.5 with MAMS back to back. I kept my 14.5 dimpled gun and sold the rest because I never shot them any more.
