    US Army testing new DMR

    Looks high speed. Is that a Harris bipod?:

    Nice.

    I'd like to shoot one.
    And yes, it appears to be a Harris BP.

    Am I alone in think it's kinda funny that 4-17 Infantry Battalion is testing an HK417?

    Looks like even HK decided that Keymod was dead. Apparently they took a cue from Bill Geissele as well. That rail looks like something Geissele would have done. Dogbone nut, twin bolts into a barrel nut design. It's basically a large frame MK8 from the looks of it. First HK AR type I've seen with a rail that looks modern.

    Very curious about feedback on that suppressor. I was all but set in getting one until a guy at Silencer Shop talked me out of it. Have to admit, the design looks pretty good and the Army seems to like it.

    The change from the HK negative-space mounting system to M-LOK was at the request of the Army.

    FWIW, H&K never used actual KeyMod, HKey was their own propreitary mounting system, like AI's KeySlot.

    As noted, it is a Geissele handguard. However, the barrel nut design is still H&K; like the original HK416 SMR, it uses the factory barrel nut.
    Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.

    Have Sig optics improved that much over something like Luepold?

    Looks pretty awesome.
