    Civil I didn't mean to offend you. You need to understand that we get a lot of folks on here that refuse to do their "homework" and ask questions that could be easily answered by Google.

    Back on topic. From what the details are, I'm very interested. I hope to get the chance to get my hands on one, one day and check it out!

    I would like to see how different the carrier and bolt are going to be from a standard AR.

    Is it going to use an AUG bolt and a very different carrier, or is it just going to use a slightly changed carrier and a standard AR bolt.

    If they take a total departure from the AR bolt and carrier it could e interesting.

    The AUG is one of the most reliable platforms out there, maybe they can do good things with an AR.

    I have a feeling thought that they are using AUG barrels which will (gasp)1 in 9 twist.

    In this day of repeatable quick release mounts it would be viable to have a seperate optic for each barrel: there would be no need for rezeroing. It is still much less bulk and weight to carry around that a full upper (incl. the other optic on it aswell!)

    Much better to have quickly changeable barrels, IMHO.

    Absolutely agree. I wonder with this concept if they will have 300Blk options along with other calibers that only ask a simple barrel BCG swap.
