    Glad to see Taurus is busy making purple gripped gold plated 1911 models rather than the other standard 1911's that were announced two years ago.

    ETA: After looking at that PDF, I think Magpul has taken the SCAR concept (SOCOM, not FN) a step further than anyone else. I am highly impressed, and I think that's a heck of a way to step into the firearm manufacturing business. I think that rifle is going to put the hurt on alot of big players.
    I hope so, it would be nice to get some real developmental competition in the firearms industry.

    And if so, do you think that said sales management could formulate some sort of answer ahead of time to give to folks that doesn't include not taking them seriously and making stupid remarks?

    It couldn't have been the first time someone asked, right?

    RE: MASADA.

    Can I assume that this wasn't ready for the SCAR trials? Because, well...it looks like a can of whoopass.

    I couldn't have said it better myself. I think Magpul just single handedly turned the tactical rifle market upside down.

    As for the 416, another HK Pro member who was actually at SHOT posted that the rep he talked to said they're gearing up for both 416 and 417 civilian production.

    I think I'd rather have a MASADA and a SCAR-H though.
    The luxury of freedom was not free.

    417 is something I'd look at for sure.

    Magpul needs to offer a 16" carbine, or pin the FH on the 14.5 optionally. Some of us do not want to deal with the SBR thing.

    I cannot believe that Magpul would actually quote Kevin McClung in their ad..... . The gun looks good, but I have to wonder why they would quote a dork without a single second of issue time anywhere with the AR/M16 system.
