The polymer cover attached to the carrier seems like it could be a week point in a critical area but i am sure you have figured a way to secure it well. I would love to handle one some day!

I'll keep my eye on you guys and see where things go with your innovations. By the way, when will the piston uppers be available to the public and how much will they cost?

Are there any pictures of the modification required? Is it something I could handle at home with common tools, or something that I'd need a shop to do for me?

Hmm. As much as I like the upper, that's quite a restriction. Any chance of it changing in the future? Also, any chance of losing the rear charging handle since it's redundant? Or maybe offering something to plug it up for shooting suppressed?

We will have barrels available in 10.5, 12.5, 14.5, 16, 18, and 20. The rear charging handle will stay. If you don't want it, you will have to figure out a way to plug it. Sorry, can't please everyone and too many like having the original.
