This begs to question if technology can give us a true take down rifle a la the Nemesis why cant this be accomplished in a similar manner in the AR platform. A QD rail offering such as that from LaRue with a improved QD barrel nut design would seem to be a viable solution I would think.

I couldn't agree more.Ya, that was painful to watch.
I am still trying to grasp what advantage this set up provides. I could see some utility to change calibers, but you will still need to rezero...or at least change your optic.

You guys are now tackling the 'why' and the 'what' ; 'why' do I really need a quick change barrel ( or rail) capability and 'what' is it going to give me that I really need and don't already have
I have been wondering this since the QCB assault rifle craze started awhile back - if you figure out the 'why' and the ' what' please make sure you let me know; because I sure haven't
This just looks like the latest thing to add to the list

Board policy mandates I state that I shoot for BCM. I have also done work for 200 or so manufacturers within the firearm community. I am prior service, a full time LEO, firearm instructor, armorer, TL, martial arts instructor, and all around good guy.
I also shoot and write for various publications. Let me know if you know cool secrets or have toys worthy of an article...

To each his own, but I would rather just pull two pins and add another complete pre-zeroed upper.
As an MRP owner, the "why" is because I can have a 10.5" SBR and a 16" match barrel and just quick change the barrel and optic (on a Larue mount). Saves $ by keeping the upper, light, rail covers, grip, backup irons the same, along with the benefits of the monolithic upper. I can only shoot 1 rifle at any given time anyway. (It saves money as compared to a separate SPR/Recce type upper setup or completely separate SPR/Recce type rifle)
It also allows different caliber options for a very low cost of entry...if I was a hunter, this would be a great feature.
There is no need to ever "quick change" a barrel that I can see..."conveniently change" is nice. Of course, having separate uppers or even rifles works as well, just costs more.
I don't see a military need for it (and neither does the military), I guess you could issue one platform and set up the rifle before a mission for anything from CQB to SPR...but it isn't enough of a benefit to justify the costs of switching from the current M4.

I would like a 7.62 PredatOBR. This quick change stuff means nothing to me. But, just in case some of you didn't see it, there's an excerpt from the description below.
Will return with 0 to .5 MOA shift and is meant to be broken down for carry, apparently.
The most remarkable feature of the PredatOBR is its ability to be completely “broken down” and stored into the supplied Roll-Bag and Tool Box. The PredatOBR handguard has a locking stainless steel QD Lever system on each side. Once the levers are released, the handguard slides off of the upper assembly in seconds. The PredatOBR's barrel can easily be removed with the supplied PredatOBR Barrel Wrench, unscrew the Barrel Nut from Receiver and pull the Barrel Assembly free from Receiver. No need to remove the gas tube, gas block or muzzle device. Reverse the process to reinstall. Hand-tighten Barrel Nut and torque approximately 1/8-turn past hand-tight (Approximately 40-50 foot pounds). Once reassembled correctly, the point of impact (POI) shift will be 0.0 to 0.5 MOA of the original.
Proven combat techniques may not be flashy and may require a bit more physical effort on the part of the shooter. Further, they may not win competition matches, but they will help ensure your survival in a shooting or gunfight on the street. ~ Paul Howe
