Are you an exception, or are they finally shipping to the masses?
If one was to place an order today, when could they expect it?

DSG shows this in stock as of 2100.

If it is true they are in stock and shipping, why have we not heard anything on reviews? I would love to order one, but the issues raised in the thread have made me a little reluctant. Hoping feedback starts coming in soon.

If you take the time to poke around and do some research you will find a good amount of feedback. LAV actually got some time with one down in Fla and had a very positive first impression of it. His comments are in his Battle Rifle AAR.

I have seen, and heard overwhelming positive AAR's on it and I'm definitely in for a couple of them once they finally start to become readily available....

I've poked quite a bit, including this entire thread. While there has been a lot of good feedback, this article pointed out a few things that give me pause.

From the article...

FLIERS:
Unforgiving eye box illumination* (addressed in production)
Reticle undersized for use at 1x magnification
Circle-dot aiming requires shooter to come on distant targets from above, which feels awkward
Turret clicks could be more positive
Elevation locks at zero with no easy way to hold-under

I want to see what other say about these issues before placing an order. For this amount of money, there shouldn't be any concessions.

It's all of those things that kind of made me keep looking. The first one, the Christmas Tree illumination effect was stated as something that would be addressed in production. However, this doesn't seem to be the case as one 7.62 example still had the effect.

Poke around TOS and you will find some AAR's. Also check out the LAV Battle Rifle thread in KAC's forum. There were several in that class and you should be able to get some feedback.
