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?
Drool, really want the Mod 2. Maybe one of these days....
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.
Is it a combination of the barrel length and gas port or does the heavier weight of the barrel make the difference ? I'm torn about whether to wait for the newer mod 2 with lightweight barrel 14.5 upper or dump the money on the med-con dimpled upper.
Damn the dimpled upper slipped through my fingers. Now I'm looking forward to what you guys have in store for the next 14.5" SR15.
The new KAC cans with couplers are pretty damn cool. Theres no doubt that a coupler is a superior way to make an airtight connection? I wonder how they handle a little debris around the coupler itself? Have you ever tried to connect an even lightly soiled coupler? They are not easily cleaned quickly.
Yes, you have to attend to your equipment always ;-) I was imagining the sandbox. I look forward to hearing more from users in the field. You can't deny that the coupler is a great idea. An excellent use of old tech!
Achieve thread for SMGLee's 2014 SHOT Show threads
Maybe its me but there are different references to Shot Show 2015 and 2014. The pictures on the first page seem to refer to new products from the 2015 Shot Show but they are dated 2014. Please set me straight.
The mods changed the forum title for this years SHOT and this is a thread from the 2014 SHOT show. Not hard to figure out.
Where is the thread for the 2015 Shot Show?
Patience guys. Smglee will get the pics flowing soon enough.
ehhhh, nothing too exciting I see
As I cannot make it to Shot show these threads are the meat and potatoes of the future of the firearm industry to me. Keep up the great work !
Awesome stuff here
