The exploded view is pretty cool on that osprey.

Thanks again,
What's the reasoning for going LW with the 11.5" uppers? I understand for the 14.5" and 16" configurations, but I would assume a lot of people who go with the 11.5" would be running a suppressor. Wouldn't a thinker profile be better for suppressor use?
Drool, really want the Mod 2. Maybe one of these days....
Are there any mod 2 14.5" uppers out there for purchase yet ? I've been looking for one.
They are now added to my distributors inventory list. None in stock but they have been added to the system.
The dimpled barrel was good if you wanted a little more forward weight, but from a performance perspective, the current barrel is at the same level of performance as the dimpled mid-weight, with a possible edge in pure precision*.
*Note: While 5.56 guns all get a function verification test, they are not shot for accuracy from the factory (other than the LPR). My data is limited to information collection only, not long-term definitive testing.
I know I'm going against the grain but I like a little extra weight out there. Still not sure if the deal is gonna go through on this upper. I don't know if that's a bad thing as the upper alone would be more than a complete sr 15 mod 2.
At this point I'm starting to question if there's enough of a difference in the 14.5 vs the Mod 2 16" or the future mod 2 14.5. If it doesn't go through I'll hold off until you guys put out the mod 2 14.5 uppers and pin the new MAMS to it. Maybe wait till after SHOT show ?

Having had or shot the legacy, Mod 1, Mod 2 and 14.5 dimpled barrel guns I still prefer the 14.5 dimpled barrel guns. I could tell a difference shooting the 16" with MAMS and a 14.5 with MAMS back to back. I kept my 14.5 dimpled gun and sold the rest because I never shot them any more.
