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.

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 ?

Weight forward is good for shooting a lot.
Reduced weight is good for carrying a lot.
Everything has a trade-off.

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.

I haven't had any more issues than any other QD mount. That's one of the few things that get hit with at least a quick scrub after any range trip. KAC, Surefire, AAC, and others. The new QDC line seems great for now without issues.

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!

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.

Yeah, I'm not getting it either. The main section says "2015" yet everything in here is labeled "2014". A bit confusing.
