They showed you the barrel swap operation today on IG. Kevin doesn't do conventional marketing per se. If you want more info you have to ask and engage the avenues they use to gather Intel. The have done two 50 min Q&A sessions live on IG for the Upcoming HB. They will circle around to the fix. I know ther were showing the options on the fix in the end of the first IG live. He mentioned a 12" 300 blk Fix w can. He showed off the Full length, partial length picatinny and the direct attach scope mount that is as light as the partial rail. He mentioned a partnership with Proof on some barrels. I really like the clean sheet design on the fix and I think Q is going to make waves in this industry. He mentioned some DOD testing on the Fix and HB too.

Wonder what the return to zero and POI shift from barrel to barrel will be .. https://www.instagram.com/p/BSlwN6Klb7v/ As far as quick goes, it looks like less than a 10 minute video and all that held it was a mag block. The top rail is optional as well, there's an option to just direct mount scope mounts to the receiver. I think the design is amazing and I'm really looking forward to seeing them ship. |

So it's more like an AR. Not "QD", just more easily serviced?

Exactly, which is a lot easier than typical bolt action precision rifles. Don't need anything crazy to change it yourself. But I don't like the term QD if you need to rip apart the entire rifle to do the bbl change. It's basically the same concept as the RPR, which IMHO should be termed "user serviceable" instead of QD. |

Yeah that is not QD. I would agree with "user serviceable" as well.
My AIAT is QD as it takes under 2 minutes to swap barrels. |

I definitely agree with you on that. It's not a takedown lever or 2 away from a new barrel so it isn't quick change. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By BoxofRox:

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Dodge223:
If you go with their receiver mounted scope mount you don't have to take the 8 or 9 screws out of the upper pic rail because it's missing. Then you just need to loosen the clamp nut and the retainer bolt. Then undo the barrel nut and change the barrel. It's pretty quick when you consider this rifle weighs less than a standard AR. I guess we can all find something we don't like or that's not up to the fastest in the industry. Ever gun made is a compromise somewhere.
The process doesn't bother me at all. If I ever need to change calibers I know the 10 minute process won't be a problem, I don't need it to be a quick change. |
