Marine, thanks for the review! Have you had a chance to weigh one of these unloaded? How does the weight feel compared to a standard M4?

The charging handle appears different from the "A1" version that I handled... does it still flip over easily?
Also, can we get a pic with that dust cover in place?
What happens when you shoot it with the dust cover on?

What country are you from? You said they were issued to your unit?

Great review, thanks. It appears to be a bit on the bulky side. Is the bulk felt during handling and operation?

The rate of fire is 800 rounds per minute. Suppressed it may go to about 850 or so.
The weight unloaded is 7 pounds.
What you see on the charging handle that makes it look different is actually just a removable protective cover to keep the charging handle from breaking through the carrying case during shipping. It is not meant to be left on the weapon during use. In fact, the last half of the shipment of about 1100 that we received didn't include these anymore. I think that possibly too many people were thinking it was an accessory to make the charging handle easier to manipulate.

Thanks! I was thinking it now had an SKS type knob and might require breakdown to flip.The rate of fire is 800 rounds per minute. Suppressed it may go to about 850 or so.

What about that cover thing?

OP, thanks for your posts on this platform. Most informative. I hope they can come across the pond.
