    I agree

    I agree with IG, why the hell was he riding the CH? This thing will cause problems not fix them.

    Agreed. Every year someone comes out with a perceived better mouse trap that has "fail" written all over it. I'm not even idly curious about this device. It's impractical and not even on par with what is currently available.

    How could you joke about "probably the best improvement to the AR-15 since the 5.56 round?"

    For that price maybe they will throw in the charging handle.

    It looks like they do carry a few quality brands (LMT, Noveske) and I certainly can't knock anyone for having an entrepreneurial spirit or trying to promote build a company. That being said somehow I don't see it as "the best improvement to an AR-15 since the 5.56 round"

    A Positve: At least it doesn’t reciprocate like the SCAR.
    A Negative: as far as the M4 goes ... I think this is bottom.

    The YouTube video tags include "BCM" and "Vltor". Really? Where?

    Well...moving the handle forward does make it more efficient and easy to operate. I don't think the improvement in manipulation over, say a BCM Gunfighter, is worth the extra $100 or so. That's just me. If I had to have this concept, I'd get a side charging upper (which also avoids the problem of still having the CH move so far back even with a jerry-rigged forward handle).
