First time seeing the light of day at today's AUSA convention.

I'm REALLY digging the buttstock.

Does not offer enough compactness over a factory Colt N1 CAR stock to be worthwhile.

Interesting choice of colors.

I was kind of thinking the same thing. That's a lot of custom parts just to get.... a cool looking gun?

I'd like to know more about the concept behind the stock, why it was designed the way it was, and what benefits it offers.

You'd be the coolest tacticool Operatin' sonofabitch at the gun range.

Interesting concept. It definitely looks nice, but similar functionality could be had with far more practical parts for, I'm sure, way cheaper than what it would cost to produce something like that.

That's something that could be said for 98% of the builds out there.

It also has a billet upper and lower... has anyone here ever broken a forged lower?

It looks and feels awesome. I'd love to have the opportunity to see how it performs.

If you tried to break your fall with the buttstock and roll into the prone doing buddy rushes, it would break. I don't think they made it for that though...

Well, as far as the Marine Corps is concerned, the M4 is an inferior weapon to the M16 because "how are you supposed to beat a man to death with a plastic stock?" The entire reason that the Marine Corps will never give up it's arsenal of M16s and switch to the M4 like the Army did. Granted, we as Marines are trained even from bootcamp to shoot farther than the other services, and the M16 facilitates that. Never mind that we haven't been in a conflict where we've fought an enemy consistently at contact distance in, what, 30-40 years at least?

This weapon is awesome looking, but honestly it's not the most practical thing out there. Billet receivers are the new "in" thing. I'm pretty sure a forged receiver is going to be stronger and hold up better in the long term than a billet receiver.

It's a cool concept that loses a lot of practicality, but none the less, it is something different than everything else that is out there. I would like to see this thing produced as a small run weapon. It would make a cool collectors piece, and would definitely get shot if I owned one, but it would almost surely never be my primary fighting weapon.


Edit: As a side note, this rifle was built in a country that prides itself on excess. This build definitely falls into that category. It's one of those things that would fly off the shelves and people would like to have because.... well, because it's America and we just ****ing can.
