And draped on top of SWAT armor and a Kevlar!

David Fortier's muscle bound body would look good behind this gun too!

It looks like it would be able to do a quick barrel change to shoot 308 caliber; Look how flared the mag well is.

Is it just me, or do the tapco vert. and pistol grip say a lot about that weapon?

I believe that it is a direct impingment system, but due to the lack of the receiver extension, it has to have a cut down bolt carrier and op rod and spring.

very cool, I have always pictured a rifle with a more SCAResque bolt carrier that is DI, but with looser tolerances than the AR-15 system.

This makes me think you don't know much about what was going on 75-100 years ago...

It's already chambered in .308.

Curious as to if anyone has any experience with this weapon? Looks interesting. It is a DI gun as well. I will admit, it looks like a 4gery of some sorts of the ACR to some degree. That is just my opinion though. It is also available to us civilians for the bargain price of only $5,600 bucks.

This is a new one to me, hopefully its just a typo. Like someone else said, I would rather have the KAC or Larue offerings.
