    I'm sure the patent on the LMT MRP is near the end of its non-compete life.

    Find it interesting that Vltor makes a monolithic rail system.

    You'll also have to forgive the other mags in the guns...The GEN M3 PMAGs didn't make it through export in time for the show at which these photos were taken, but all of the rifles will ship with GEN M3 PMAGs, and that's what you'll see at SHOT.
    Do they exhibit under "Colt Canada?"

    I don't have any details on that but TT are pretty innovative. I'm looking forward to seeing it.
    Full disclosure: I'm the editor of Calibre Magazine, which is Canada's gun magazine. In the past I've done consulting work for different manufacturers and OEM suppliers, but not currently. M4C's disclosure policy doesn't seem to cover me but we do have advertisers, although I don't handle that side of things and in general I do not know who is paying us at any given time.

    I'm going out on a limb here, but while it's far from the end, it looks like the writing's on the wall for Keymod.

    It always has been. Just depends on how well you read. The KMR, ironically, has been hammering the nails for some time, now.

    So obviously I spent a bunch of time with Colt Canada at SHOT. The two questions from people here that I asked were:

    1) why not make all the slots MLok?
    A: it's unnecessary.

    I'll be honest with you, I think that answer is dumb. If there's a technical reason not to cut them all to fit, like it would triple the cost of the handguard etc, fine. But I don't really care to be told I don't need something.

    2) What's with the short gas system?

    A: Why wouldn't we use a short gas system? We use straight gas tubes, splined barrels and gas blocks so everything fits perfectly every time, and we just use port size to tune the extraction. No, we're not telling you what the port size is.


    And I can tell you that they do not cycle hard at all. I think they're using a standard H-buffer; they told me but I forget. It's nothing exotic, though. Plus the straight gas tube/splined block is a very cool setup.

    Anyway there you have it. Approximately carbine length gas systems, but with straight tubes and proprietary parts, which work great, but a kind of unsatisfying answer on the handguard slots.

    It doesn't get much more Colt Canada than that.

    So, I'm guessing this is kindof like the AK-107 for people in the US? Fun to look at online, but not practical to think about?
