Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By cccpNyC: Thermal fit forged upper. Can someone learn me wtf that means I would guess it is like a BCM upper where you heat the upper up to slide over the barrel, but I do not speak for the company. Supposed to increase accuracy, does make barrel to upper fit tight. |

Bunch of nonsensical pseudo-speak jargon, like how POF calls their barrel nut "heat sinking" and how it reduces heat by 80%.

I think it look like a light HK piston system, hopefully its alot more affordable than HK.

I personally like an adjustable gas system. Self regulating defeats the purpose of even having a piston. Pistons are great with suppressors. I roll an LMT Gen 2 piston and a few 516's. All suppressed.

It says removable gas block, not adjustable, right?

Thermal fit uppers are awesome.

I like the overall design, and simple lines, but the ugly V logo doesn’t appeal to me; the “reddit fanbois” will love it though.

at $2199 this is in LMT and LWRC price territory. Who on earth, who wants an elite piston gun, is going to spend their LMT dollars on this?

Agree, at this price, you are looking at a LMT or PWS piston rifle....as far as the thermal fit upper...not sure if I want an upper heated up to fit over a steel barrel. The interference fit and tolerance needs to be spot on for that to work with two different metals....just my engineering experience speaking

Mil-Spec Monkey did a booth review of these guys at Triggercon 2023. The good news is the guns look cool, the bad news is they are spendy and Paul Leitner-Wise is involved.

The upper to barrel fit with this heating is a load of you know what. It's not necessary for an accurate rifle. Marketing hype. Pretty gun I'll give them that but I'll take my A2 over it.
