Yup. Watched the whole 1.5hr ish video. Bill mentioned the current rifle was a Gen 1 built in 60 days. They had to iron out some changes and create the gen 2, before release and estimated summer. I believe the main reason is its currently a 12 pound rifles with the Vortex HD Gen2, and they wanted to bring it down to about 10lbs.
Interesting.
I dont need one but it looks slick it does.
I agree that SOCOM profile would have been better.
For what you get, not bad
There will be a bunch of DD rails that group and ranger regiment won't need once they field all of the new geissele uppers so I don't think it's out of the question in a few years for those to go to regular army units.
Looks remarkably similar to the Faxon Streamline MLOK handguard.....

I could see the value of this upper if they offered it with their enhanced BCG and a barrel profile that makes sense. I’ve found KAC SR 15 MLOK Mod 2 uppers for $200 more that include their BUIS.
I hope they one day offer this upper with some of their enhanced components and a SOCOM profile 14.5” barrel. I’d definitely pick it up then.
I would buy a rail right now but the stripped version with a rail, milspec receiver, and barrel is $1000. That's insane. It's a good looking rail but I can't do it at that price.
Stick
