Well, I was doing a local gun shop tour the other day with the son in law.

Went to a store owned by Kahr arms. Now kahr arms owns a few different brands.

Saw this in the back on the counter. They just started selling them according to the sales guy. Attached File


If I recall correctly it was over $8k to mid 8k

Pretty godamn pricey for a bolt on an unproven platform if you axe me.  Desert Tan too.  What is this crap with the desert tan?  This country is no longer in the sandbox.

Pike county Kahr store?

The bolt sticks out from the left side, it is not bent down to be close to the side. Sticks out like a tree branch.

I personally would not buy

It was at the Wayne County store.

Actually, I wouldn't have an issue if the bolt on my 50 was on the left.  It makes for an easier action cycle if you are trying for a quick follow up shot for right handers.  The left bolt also accommodates south paws so the manufacturer doesn't have to spend extra $ on R&D and mfg to make a left and right handed model.  The blot handle on this model does need to be bent down though.

With the bolt that far forward I'm not sure it would be handy for a lefty. The Cobb I played with had it far enough out that it seems like it wouldn't really work.

They work great. Especially later ones with the larger dimple at the feed lips to keep the bullet tip centered as it feeds from the mag.
I hated going to weddings. All the grandmas would poke me and say "You're next". They stopped that when I started doing it to them at funerals.

I'll bet the folks that own Barrett now think so too.

HM Defense uses essentially the same design.  I can't remember if HM licensed it to Bushmaster or the other way around, but having talked to the owner - HM makes all their shit locally here in Ohio.  

Sportsman's Warehouse was clearaning out the older model for like $5500 a few months ago - they might still have some on the website.  I've been very pleased with mine.

I gotta say that I wish my Lynx took Barrett mags.  At $395 each, I'm not buying extras.
