Lets ditch the mods, get a car battery and cables, a blowtorch, and a pair of pliers and go "hang out and drink" at coregon's place.
 ps, dibs on SPEAR. How can I fight aliens without 6.8x51? |

I particularly like this: Direct thread and QD mounting capability on every silencer. I'm assuming the direct thread is the same shoulder taper they already have on the Virtus series that fit existing SRD cans? I would also be interested in seeing a discussion of the merits of 3D printing vs. traditional methods (machining and welding?) of silencer production. |

Same taper/shoulder as the barrels and previous gen suppressors. Sorry, should have been more clear. We shot a lot of interesting stuff yesterday. All of it made me happy. |

Looks more slender on the underside like the MI rails.
ETA: step down in front of the gas block? Perfect place 12 o'clock mounting. Or maybe just the sides/angles. |

Looks to me that after the mounting rails for the handguard on the upper receiver the handguards angle more inward while still having a full length 12 o’clock rail. From the other angle shown on the TFBTV video it looks like there is another row of MLok at the 2 and 10 o’clock as well. This is just like the SPEAR handguard.

From the close up on the Instagram video you can see that the handguard also lacks windows to adjust the gas settings. The gas adjustment valve sticks out the front of the handguard. The valve itself is looks a bit different and does not have the two long wings. The last part makes me believe that there is more going on than just handguards and might be a Gen 3(?) MCX.

The last part makes me believe that there is more going on than just handguards and might be a Gen 3(?) MCX. I've been hearing rumors that such a thing was in the works, maybe that is it? I still wonder if this is something that evolved out of the SURG program, much like how the MCX evolved out of the LVAW program and the SPEAR came to us via the MCX-MR from the SDMR program and NGSW-R programs. |

I think somewhere coregon mentioned that we would see SPEAR improvements come to the MCX.
It wouldn't shock me if he were the guy behind getting Sig to sell P320 receivers separately. Hopefully he'll get them to do the same with the MCX. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By CombatCat: I love that handguard design. The rest of the rifle appears to be the same as the current generation Viritus. Am I missing something? The upper receiver appears different. It has three vent holes along the forward part of the top rail before the rail and more importantly it appears to have a threaded screw on the top rear portion of the handguard for retention just like the Spear. Also the gas adjustment appears a little different. I created a new thread for this to stop polluting this one. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By coregon: “Very expensive” is relative. It’s going to be priced comparable to other 762 rifles in its class. Won’t offend me. I think that companies are free to sell what they want at the price the want. If the market will bear it then great, if it won’t then they will have to adjust. I fully assume that it will be priced similar to a scar 17s on the low end, because the market will bear it. If FN can sell a Al extrusion surrounded by injection molded plastic, the all metal SPEAR is worth atleast that. Are you able to provide a weight spec yet? |
