Mine was super tight on my Noveske. Colt's tend to not have the best fit and finish.

Plus, I'm hoping that given some time all (or at least most of) the specialty stuff gets to market. A slightly tweaked forged lower seems a bit more likely to me, but I expect that LE rifles will keep them busy for a while. Then maybe they'd sell complete rifles to the civilian market. After that, I could see components, like lowers, becoming available, but I'm sure not going to hold my breath. We'll see what tomorrow's announcements hold...historically, Bill has shared a good bit of information about what's coming down the road, so I/we might be surprised. I still love Joy, but that hasn't made it to market yet and he'd originally mentioned it should be available this past summer, so...time tables can (and do) change. |

Finally got the opportunity to shoot my 10.3" URG-I near clone. I wish I didn't have to say this but I was having issues. I would shoot 2-3 rounds and then it would fail to feed the next round. OR I would shoot 2-3 rounds and it would fail to eject the spent casing. I admit that I was using a Spike's T2 buffer and a mil-spec spring with Gen 2 PMAG. Didn't have the Geissele Super 42 spring and weight (H3) that came with it to try swapping out. Has me skeptical for the Dead Air can that I am waiting on too...

Was hoping 1 moa. Didn’t achieve it, and this was with 10x magnification. My Colt SOCOM could.

Well this thread is about to blow up LOL.
Bill just showed Mk16 DDC and ODG complete rifles coming to the civy market on the live stream. Looks like these rails are going to be released outside of mil or clone configs, and will be in wider circulation that ever anticipated. That kind of bums me out since I thought that the Mk16 rails would be in the clone category. Side note that green mk16 complete 10.3 cqbr he showed was super good looking, like wow good looking. |

It's funny. The MK16 gets less and less exclusive every day. First it was Black Friday, now they're gonna be offered on complete rifles. Why did Geissele claim at first that they would never be sold independently outside of the clone uppers when they're now everywhere? I bet people that paid a premium for one trusting what Geissele said to he true aren't happy. I'm one of those guys. A week before Black Friday, too.

KAC had the vault release last year which killed prices on out of production rails and accessories. The Mk16 rail was $395 with the charging handle correct? Call it a $100 charging handle and the rail is under $300. Look at the DD RIS II which was over $400 when it was available. Decade old FF RAS from KAC are still north of $300.

These are the people waiting in line for iphones, google glass (remember that), etc. Once that market is saturated then they offer it up to main stream maybe not in the same package but with something different that doesn't piss off the first group. maybe commercial geissele markings instead of roll marks. Then they come back and offer "retro" versions to recapture the market and gain a second wind. Look at nintendo/kac/etc. The whole concept of limited edition drives sales because people are afraid they can't get something and don't want to pay egregious markup afterwards. That's kind of the whole firearm market at a macro level in essence, which is funny when viewed that way. We're conditioned to think that laws will change any day now so get it while you can before you can't get it anymore. |
