6.8 lbs, will have pistol and 6.5c options.
Hope this brings the price down some. |

A 6.8lb .308 chambered RLGS AR15 with standard height handguard rail, upper, ambi controls, and knob-adjustable gas system up front?
That's slick and exactly what people have been asking for. The pistols are going to be interesting as well. Suppressed 12.5" with SBA3 in 6.5 CM would be pretty sick. |

Yup, lots of potential here, especially with suppressors. I am curious what the price difference will be if any. LWRC's piston 5.56s are about $1,000 more than their di model. (shrugs)

It's about time! I don't know what they were thinking designing such a compact and potentially lightweight rifle, then putting a piston system on it. I was seriously considering buying one and attempting to build a DI upper for it.
ETA- I wish they had done away with the forward assist and put an 18-20" barrel on it. |

I am surprised they haven't offered 18 or 20" barrels yet, hopefully for the di at least, especially if they are chambering the Creedmore. Of course, the pistol options sound pretty sweet, too. And I would love a 14.5..................

Vaporware.
I want videos of it running hard. Full auto, with some drum mags. Then I'll be colored impressed. Piston is a more surefire way of getting reliability. Straight gas, i would be concerned with pressure issues in the upper with it being downsized so much. Im really curious of the longevity of everything. Really awesome concept though. |

Really awesome concept though. 55,000 psi for the .223 vs 62,000 for .308 doesn't sound too bad as far as the gas system goes. The rifles will come with a POF adjustable gas block. It would be interesting to know what the gas port size will be. The benefits of the di system seem to be less weight and fewer parts, leading to a simpler system. It also allows a lower profile rail to be used. I think the pressure issues you might be referring to are where we know the barrel's chamber wall, and possibly the extension are thinner to accomodate the larger diameter of the .308 cartridge. They are using some expensive unobtainium for the bolt, not sure about the extension. Their are some vids on youtube of Revolutions with multiple thousands of rounds. Time will tell, I'm not wealthy enough to be a beta tester, so I will wait a while. Like you said, bring on the vids, let's see what she can do. |

I can see making a bolt and extension handle it, but I would be worried about the barrel with the types of steel we normally see and the carrier itself as well. I dont like prototype videos, because Im inclined to believe they put ALOT more effort into making the prototypes run. Effort than RARELY transfers over to the production line. I want to see that fat nerdy guy on youtube who does the meltdowns, run these, the GII, Revolution, and other shit. If only I had won that billion dollars, youd see me melting down everything. Then literally put the remnants in a smelter. Anyways, love seeing the innovation. |

The thing runs and runs hard, trust me...pricing will be comparable to the Revolution piston setup, most likely cheaper. The thing drives nails. Release date December 15th. The Revolution rifle was in R&D for 4 years, the "bugs" have been ironed out. It runs in select fire, runs suppressed, runs select fire while suppressed. Its guaranteed MOA out of the box. The DI version is more of the same, only lighter. The recoil impulse in .308 with is similar to running an over gassed 5.56. The 6.5 Revolution DI is so soft shooting with the 20" set up the thing is scary. 1,200 yard shots are no problem. Bold statement I'm not afraid to make, the AR-15 is dead. We now have a completely ambidextrous Rifle that's the same size and weight as an AR-15 capable of 1,200 yard shots with ease. If you have a 12.5" 308 version with a suppressor, and a 20" 6.5 upper, that's all you'll ever need..period.

I’ve owned - five? - P308 rifles and based on my experience, the listed weight likely excludes the weight of the brake and stock that come with the rifle. DI Revolution probably weighs ~7.3 lbs from the factory. Still a very appealing rifle.
ETA: I’ll post an example of a current model, the P308 Edge 16.5”. About a 10.4oz “discrepancy.” Still own and love my P308. Chose it over a SCAR17.  Attached File Attached File |

The LGS I used to transfer through must have lost the important ambi parts when they unboxed, because they were gone. I called up POF and Frank answered. I had the parts within 24hr and didn't miss a thing. This is my single sample size with POF's CS, which was excellent. |

 Attached FileI’m afraid you’re mistaken about a Gen4 Edge with a fluted barrel. The only way to get a Gen4 “Edge” with a fluted barrel is if you already have a Gen4 and send in your upper to have the barrel nut and handguard replaced with the slimmer “Edge” handguard and nut. The difference in weight between non-fluted and fluted 16” barrels is 8oz. |

I have had the Revolution 16.5" gas piston since April of this year and just crossed the 1000+ round mark today. I definitely recommend the 3.5 lb flat trigger and a bi-pod. That being said I found this guns 1 major flaw today, the bolt hold open button design. I have pictures but don't know how to upload. It fell out and fortunately I was on a mat or else I may have not even noticed it because its so small. It's held on by a .0002 cent toothed washer that popped off and fortunately stayed in the lower until I got home and was able to dissemble and flip over for it to fall out. Thinking about trying to find a c ring as a replacement. I shoot Federal Premium gold medal Berger 185 grain juggernaut match rounds, may be a little to much for this little .308. Any thoughts?

DAMNIT! I will be picking up my Revolution (gas piston) in less than a month when I get home for a little R&R. Nice to see a DI version...if the weight is true, 6.8 pounds is pretty remarkable. Once you add mount, optics, BUIS, and maybe a better stock system, it's still going to be quite manageable to both carry and shoot. Kudos for listening to the always-unsatisfied consumers!
