[kdcgrohl]

Does anyone have a lead on the SMRs in stock?

In currently running a 18oz 10" rail so either rail is a decrease in weight. It looks like the general concensus is bcm for weight saving and geissele for robustness.

Does anyone have a lead on the SMRs in stock?

We have some 13's in stock (Sand).

Any plans on getting some M-Lok variants in?

Do you mean Geissele triggers or SMRs being popular in the SF community? I know the triggers are being used but I didn't know about the rails. I'm not challenging the statement, I just don't have any info on the subject. Anyone have any pics?

And I already use SMRs so I'm not looking to buy something the big boys use ha ha. Just looking for a little knowledge.

I personally feel that the KEYMOD system is much stronger and overall nicer, but if people are interested in it, we will stock it.

Geissele originally designed the SMR to fulfill a contract issued by the DoD for replacement HK416 rails.

All current SMR rails offered for the AR15 grew out of that original contract.

You're likely to not see many pics of the HK SMR rails in the wild given who is currently using them.

Mr. Geissele talks about the HK rail, and the "organization" that uses it briefly in the video below....I'd recommend the full watch, but the rail stuff starts at the 16min. mark.

Without getting into the whole KEYMOD vs M-LOK debate, I simply prefer the aesthetics of the M-LOK. And with my intended uses, any supposed inferiority of M-LOK will still be much greater than my demands.

And I think this rifle is what I've tried to envision in my head for a long time.



I only feel somewhat skeptical about putting a $300 rail on a $1k Colt 6920.

I think he is using "SF" incorrectly to mean the SMUs on their 416s. The overwhelming majority of SF weapons still run the DD MK18 RIS or M4A1 RIS on standard Colt/FN weapons.

Got it. I wondered if that was what was going on and I had forgotten about the 416 contract. Thank you

I ordered a SMR MK5 on Friday and it should be in by the middle of the week.
