    Dudes need to chill. There are many good options on the market. If you don't like it or don't "get it" then... don't get it!
    Knight's makes amazing stuff.
    I will say there are reasons for the way things are with Hodge guns. If night vision IR laser is my primary sight I would rather have the WedgeLock rail over the URX 4, we talking the difference between 7075t6 with Titanium barrel nut vs 6061 with possibly a 7068 aluminum barrel nut. Forged aluminum lithium receivers vs forged 7075.
    There are material and design differences as well as the whole hand fitting. If you don't see value in that, fine.

    This isn't a "Hodge hates you and you suck" thing. Hodge runs his buisiness a certain way limited by capacity and principles and if that is insulting to some cuz they feel left out, I don't know what to say. It is what it is, at least for the time being.

I've seen some short clips of them being shot and I saw SMGLee's video on the upper/lower receiver tolerances, but aside from that zip, nada.
    FN clearly doesn't think they're vaporware since they're having to license the barrel steel from him.

    They will be releasing their own flavor of Hodge rifles soon

    Wait, what? You sure they're not licencing the barrel profile, rather than the metallurgical make-up of the barrel steel?
    Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.

    Direct quote from Jim:

    "It's base steel is the same, the process is different. ...re 240 family of barrels and FN has a specific spec only to me on my barrels.

    Put it to you this way...FN licenses my barrel spec from me for their use, even though they make it....for certain guns."

    Gotcha. Thank you for that clarification.

    Fascinating. Wonder what the process does...
