This is a relatively positive review. It is interesting how the op rod locks into a groove in the bolt carrier. It is not all one piece. I wonder how well that will hold up with time and use.
It looks like it's necessary to remove the op rod in order to remove the bolt. I do like that and the recoil spring setup are greatly simplified compared to the other MCX models. I find it interesting that it's in a circular groove and that the rod can pivot. I wonder why they did it like that.
They both say at the end that they don’t see this replacing the M4 due to ammo load restrictions and weight.
That seems to be the consensus among most of the people who have reviewed this rifle. What has been interesting is that most of the guys who have reviewed this rifle seem to have been pleasantly surprised at the quality of it. Like they said, I could see it taking the DMR role, and possibly replacing the 7.62 weapons.
It seems like, even if this rifle isn't adopted as the standard issue service rifle, it's laying the groundwork for improvements in rifle technology.
