Ive been looking at that, i really freaking want one

It really does look nice. I like how they handled the mag well issue when changing calibers.

I was waitng to see someone show how they do that. That may be the rifle i actually buy and dont build...one day

That is a cool feature. Also like how its flared when used with the 5.56 insert.

 

[redsandman6]

i want one too

 

[04RWon]

I bet the price will rival a SCAR....

Isn't almost 10lbs for a 16 inch barrel and plastic a lot unloaded?

 

[Ab_Normal]

Too bad we will never be able to own one of them.

Not really considering the purpose.

Why is that?

They hit the civilian market in the spring.

Not that model.

Is the cool factor the ability to go from 308 to 556 with the same lower? Thats the only thing I see different from any other AR.

Seems like enough to me. (this is a dupe thread, by the way)

If I can scrounge the cash I will gladly have a single lower that can handle a 308, 5.56 or 22lr upper. Hell I'd probably spring for a 9mm SBR upper as well if the magazine system would work with it. Then again, I ride dual sport motorcycles too so maybe I'm just odd that way.

I haven't competed in a 3-gun yet but I can see where having that extra flare in the mag well when converted to 5.56 would speed reloads. Not sure how the little extra weight would play in though.

From a design standpoint, I really enjoy seeing tough engineering problems solved in a very simple and durable way. This is one of those cases.

 

[Schwabe]

An average AR is somewhere between 5 and 8lbs, over 9lbs and you are in the weight range of a WWII full wood battle rifle... just sayin... why would the interchangeability add any weight?

 

[sykesville]

very nice thanks for posting

 

[straightsilver3]

My question is You can only use the Colt uppers in different calibers ? You just couldn't swap out say a spikes or BCM upper because the way it's designed Kind of makes it proprientary

I believe the adapter allows the use of any standard AR upper. Personally I'd rather just have two different rifles.
