Anybody else notice something funny in last weeks Brownell's email?



When you see it........................................



I think their marketing team needs to get a little more familiar with the AR platform.

What the hell is he doing with his support hand?

ETA: and is that an armoror's block stuck in the mag well?  It doesnt look like a magazine.

Maybe he's hunting in occupied territory and the block is just used to help load one round at a time into the chamber?

Everyone knows that the 300 BLK won't cycle more than one at a time.  He's holding a couple of loose rounds in his left hand and the block keeps them from falling through the mag well when he's reloading.

I was about to say the same thing.  I don't think he needs hearing or eye protection with a chunk of plastic shoved in the magazine well.

The only thing to make this better would have been one of those beer hats with twin straws and a can of Coors Light on each side and the optics mounted backwards.  If I had more free time I might have some fun in CS5.

Is the stock even in the right place on his shoulder???  I think the whole photo is one big photoshop.

Yes, the vice block for a magazine is what caught my eye.

At first I thought maybe it was a PRI mag, but definitely not when you see the closeup.

Look at the branch going across the front of the handguard --- is it in front ? in back ? or transparent ??

Not a vise block, it's a short mag for capacity-restricted hunting areas.

NY at least restricted semi-autos to 5+1 when hunting. Haven't read the MO laws yet.

Well, I'll be damned!  I stand corrected I've never seen a mag like that!

It also looks like he's got five fingers (plus a thumb) on his left hand.


ETA: note the 5th knuckle...

Definitely a "Waffle-pattern" magazine.  
Dumb idea though, restricted cap mags looks better if they are only long enough
to hold the desired number of rounds.  That looks like horrible.  

ETA;  Over all that is just a really unattractive rifle.

It's ugly, but there's not going to be a roadside discussion with a possum cop about how many rounds you can REALLY squeeze into it. Also, if you have a mag that won't drop free, a twenty-size body is a whole lot easier to snag hold of than a stubby 10-or-less.
