    I'm trying to figure out how the barrel attaches. From the GB photos it looks as though it is captured between the forend and the upper.

    I met with Cordy, the owner of F&D on Thursday. I was very impressed with the FD308 and if it shoots as well as it looks I will be even more impressed. The FD308 is the BEST system I have seen and defiantly a much nicer system than anything POF or Larue Tactical are currently producing…

    I only have one complaint with F&D and that would be they didn’t have a FD308 for me to purchase and have some fun reducing the hog population. I was impressed with how adjustable the gas regulator is and the amount of thought that went into the design; below is a picture of the gas adjuster that can be adjusted with 4 different settings and fine tuned from the front set screw.

    I also have contacted the forum on advertising… I figured I would post this before people start blasting me for not having a advertising account.

    I met with Corby to try out the new FD308 at the range. The meeting turned out to only be for testing the function since that day the wind was real bad i would have to say around 18+ mph cross wind. I will be meeting him soon to test the accuracy out at Austin Rifle club I will post another video in the next 2 weeks.

    They also offer a version in 338 Lapua. If I win the lottery I'm going to commission them to make me one in 416 Dakota.

    3 more weeks

    I ordered one back in December after talking to Corby extensively. I was able to visit with him at Shot Show 2012 and actually touch, feel the weapon. Corby agreed to send me the "demo" rifle later in February. My self and a few friends took it to our hunt club "sighting in" area. It was amazing and preformed flawlessly.
    The $10,000.00 guy I still question his version of reality. I purchased mine on the front end of development and production. Mine is serial number #10 of #50 "pre-production" models so the cost was in-line of what is stated on their website. I can imagine the price will go up accordingly with demand, but 10k?
    I anxiously await delivery of mine and to start shooting. The photos are from Feb when we were shooting the demo rifle.
