THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT Everything I read about the trigger is true. It is fantastic. I'll post some pics after I get it all kitted out. Last night I put the brake on. I haven't sighted it in yet, but I ran two rounds through it this morning just for fun. I can't believe how soft shooting this rifle is. I don't have a lot of experience with 7.62 x 51 rifles, but it is much softer than the SCAR-H. I haven't shot it without the brake, I figured I would compare it when sighting it in. Here are a couple of pics. The scope is a cheap Accushot 6x I had in the safe. Someday I'd like to put a IOR Valdada 1.5 - 8x on it. I think that optic would be almost perfect for this rifle. 
http://www.valdada.com/product/a2655086-d6e1-4df9-ba34-42428d8b0c8b.aspx The folding VFG is just some cheapy I had laying around. I put a Magpul one on, but I really like the ability to fold when shooting off of a rest or shooting sticks. I don't care for where my light is, but once again it's a mount I had laying around. The light is a Deereelight DBS V3 and is like daylight out to 250 yards. I've also got the Kel-Tec Tactical over-sized charging handle and highly recommend it.

I dont want you to take this the wrong way, but I hate you.
Although, kudos on the price. |

He's a member here, host of a couple of get-togethers, and a hell of a nice guy. He even lent us a SCAR-H, .300 Blackout, and donated a shitload of ammo for our last shoot. |

I remember reading a long time ago they changed the adjustable gas plug so you could change settings with a shell casing im guessing thats the gen two.

The original adjustment cap used the rim of a cartridge to adjust it. The now one has a hole so you use the tip of a cartridge. That's the easiest way to tell them apart. The newer guns are also shipping with what looks like a nitrated bolt instead of chromed. 
Here is a thread over at KTOG about the new gas system. http://www.thektog.org/forum/showthread.php?t=241456 |

Hey that is awesome, hopefully when you have time we can get a range report out of you.
Like how it groups and with what. How do you think it will do with a grip-pod? Also have you figured out if you can change the barrel yourself yet? Im thinking of getting one and an extra barrel in the longer length for distance. thanks, Joe |

Friend of mine got a second gen a couple weeks ago. We took it out to the range last week. Interesting gun, for sure!

I just got my 30 round mag I ordered. It is the most ridiculously awesome thing I have ever seen. I think it will make it perfectly balanced with the can and light.

Beautiful rifle hopefully I can snag one someday.
I was wrong about the gas system -10 points for me . |

you need to photo shop that rifle to have a futuristic warzone in the background and a terminator hand holding the rifle, it would look more at home

Congrats.
Makes me miss the one I bought last Christmas, but I really wanted the newer recoil system and the flaking chrome on the bolt bugged me. I will definitely own another one soon. |
