A few LM8's have hit dealers (gunbroker) and look to have the slanted slots on the top and bottom of the rail, yet their site has the shot show version with slots on top and holes on bottom ?????

Is there going to be 2 versions ???
In some ways, there are. My dealer recently received a new LM8MRP and LM8MWS. The MRP only has forward QD sling swivels. However, looking at the pic below, apparently some have forward and rear swivels on the left. Hmmmmm...

I know some of you guys don't like them but I think they look great. I was a little annoyed that they didn't have the QD swivels (and I don't even use them) as I viewed it taking a step back. Good to see they rectified it.

Now if they would only offer the chassis sub $300:ph34r:.......

If you want a new .308 MWS, my dealer has one. It has the lower with the ambi mag release. Very cool gun.

My bad guys. I posted the above question in reference to the video Trey Knight did about their 2012 line. But if anybody knows what I am talking about and has any info it would be appreciated. I will drop a link to the video tomorrow.

The URXIII/3.1 Panel packs are shipping now.

Any plans of a URX 2.1 for those of us with Block III SBR's?

I'd love a pistol version of the Scorpion.

The new Pmags look great and a lot slimmer.

I like the new magnifier. I wonder if they'll come out with a low holographic sight that can be used on AK's and such.

If these changes show up on the ACR soon, then I might buy one.

SMGLee,

If you see this post, I seem to recall reading in one of your threads somewhere (maybe here) that the FDE TAN EOTechs are made to a better quality standard than Black units.

If I interpreted your comments correctly, please confirm if this still holds true today.

Would Commercial EXPS30TAN EXPS32TAN be better quality than Commercial Black EXPS30 EXPS32 and possibly EXPS34?

Or are all Commercial and Military EXPS3 the same quality and not like differences between the SpectreDR SU-230 FDE vs SpectreDR FDE commercial production or any other factor influencing quality control etc.?

I was looking at the EXPS3 series, if the FDE color is also indicative of more quality, that would narrow down the field for me.

*Sorry I'm on a slow connection and can't find the thread.

Thank you in advance

First set of pics looks like an MP5 and SCAR had a child. Second set of pics looks a lot like an G36.

Will the new, trimmer floor plates be available seperately and will they fit older P-Mags?

SPQR476

07-06-12, 15:06

No retrofit on the floorplates. M3 testing is well underway. Don't want to jinx it with a date, as there are some extensive tests being carried out, but the official target is still end of summer. They will be worth the wait.

I'm still hoping and praying for some FDE Pmag 20LR's...
Will they ever see the light of day?

Instead of praying you could have just used spray paint.

I wonder about the durability and repeatability of the Eotech QR mount compared to the Larue system which I put my Eotechs on currently.

Not sure about durability, but I know their QR mount is def repeatable, I had one on my MK18 clone and took it off over a dozen times and it never shifted zero.

When are the gen 3 mags gonna be released

Saibot

09-27-12, 08:37

I really like the new magnifiers. They really do get better with each revision.

In the past I believe the QD mounts were A.R.M.S. and seemed to have as good as LaRue repeatability.

I have high hopes for Bren/Scorpion...hope they are better than G36 and UMP.

Would love to see them in US commercial market.

Is the difference just the ball dimpled barrel? Thanks and me bad if this has been asked before.

KevinB

11-14-12, 14:56

No, the EC barrel is also not Chrome Lined.

The SR25 EC was brought out to be a cheaper precision carbine. Chroming the barrel is both costly, and can affect accuracy (generally we don't see a degradation, but it can happen).

The EMC was discontinued to bring in the ECC, which is more in line with our government M110K1 gun.

The MSR is a great platform...spent alot of time with it downrange. Very durable chasis...I was using stricly 7.62 but the modularity is awesome.

Downrange meaning combat in Afghanistan? Or downrange meaning you took it out and shot it someplace. I hate to ask, but the board has been getting screwy lately with posts.
