this newest M4 type carbine is in my OPINION, so far is the best idea/concept in breaking away from the traditional manufacture of these type weapons. from the reports i have been privy to, i am amazed at the simplicity of a once complex system, as can be seen in this one minute video the upper can be disassembled in seconds without tools…,[b]
““The MOD.1 can be rapidly field stripped without tools; the quick release, return to zero, free–float railed handguard can simply be removed by unlatching its locking lever; the operating system can be stripped by releasing the gas block lock nut and sliding the whole assembly forward without removing the handguard””

i will have one of these carbines in my hands within a week, i plan on mounting my Trijicon ACOG TA31 on it and running 500 rounds thru it at 100, 200 and 500 yd ranges some slow fire aimed and some aimed rapid fire, i’ll do my best to give a “Range Report” and general critique on the carbines features. it will also come with a “Countashot” and the ““M3 Extreme Duty Charging Handle”” with ““3rd Gen. Design to include beverage escapement functionality””…, needles to say, i am very excited to get this carbine in my hands, it has been a long time coming, one other thing, the Military is “very interested in this weapon”.
Hmm, looks innovative in the way it comes apart and goes together. Not sure if his past will not taint anything he does though. People tend not to forgive. That’s too bad if he’s an ingenious person, too.
PLW is industry poison. His history is so unscrupulous/odious that there is virtually no chance of success even if the “mod 1” was the best thing out there.
not “IF”, he really is, i consider him to be a good friend, i have met Paul, he is a gentleman in all respects, his innovativeness is astounding, he has discussed with me several projects he is working on that has the military’s attention…, and mine too.
forget the past folks and concentrate on the product, many of which are “ground breaking” ideas, the piston system for one is in my OPINION the best in the AR/M4 world.
If you really don’t have a real need for this weapon, I’d wait a few years for any of the Piston makers, to work all of the bugs out. DI guns are fine if you know how to keep them running. Back when the piston was being developed by HK, the military, across the board, knew very little about proper maintenance on the DI gun, thus contributing to the reliability issue. I’d like to get a piston as well, to add to the collection, but I have no desire to enter into an on going “Parcel exchange affair” and getting on a first name basis with any company, until the product is fixed. I really wish that these companies would send out samples to well known trainers (NOT gun rags) to T&E their products.
How about that, huh? Yeah, a REAL gentleman. Between that and other things that occurred in the past that we’re being encouraged to forget by ONG (yeah, okay, whatever) there are substantive reasons why some consider that guy as professional as Herb freaking Tarlek from WKRP in Cinncinnati.
I swear to Crom, if I have one more person in my office tell me I look like that drama queen douchenozzle from CURRENTWEAPONS, I’m going to kick a kitten through a turbine.
i saw it at the nra show this year. i was checking out the weapon shot counter they have and saw a demo of the upper and other than the rail sliding off in one piece, it’s nothing like the 416 set up.
interesting piece, piston market place is starting to look a little crowded now but then the standard ar market has been for sometime.
i’d bow to your knowledge on this although the barrel nut looked much smaller than the hk one and the locking mechanism was a lever. i thought it had more in common with lmt’s mrp, essentially a form of c clamp.
well sir, i am not a “well known trainer/s”, but i plan on giving a T&E report as soon as i burn 5,000 rounds thru it, which may take a while, when i do go shooting, i typically burn 300-500 rounds in the 2 or 3 guns i take to the range, this time i will be concentrating on just that one gun, if you have any ideas, suggestions or questions please post them here, PM me or Email me…, OK ?
and your knowledge of this is exactly what & how, personal first hand or second hand gossip ? am knowledgeable of some of his infractions, but as i said. forget the person and concentrate on the product, thank you.
Paul is certainly not a leopard sir, more closely related to a repentant sinner…, let’s talk guns, equipment and parts just leave out the personal crap OK ? thank you.
