I attended the Reno, NV Gunshow yesterday and spoke with the guys at www.SOGARMORY.com
They had a Predator Railsystem on display that was awesome!  It replaces the fore grip on the '15 as in the ARMS.  It was a fully produceable prototype that is so new they had to take it off of a display weapon by the manufacturer.  SOG doesn't have item on their website yet.
It has the same mounting prospects of the ARMS, but was more compact and even lighter!  The MSRP is about half of a ARMS.
Their rep, Jeffrey Trudgeon, said he would digital photo the rail and e-mail me with it directly after the show.
I'll post the pic's when I get them.

Day late, Dollar short-

Ooooo, that looks pretty sweet.  :)

I've been reading the other thread on the POF system. I think I'll probably get one. Maybe they would do a group purchase? If so, we could probably count in 3rdtk to be the first on the list?

To be honest, I think it's a neat system, at a great price.

Like I said.  The quality is outstanding!  I would have bought it on the spot but they weren't selling it.
I mentioned the AR15.com website.  He said when they are at full production they may be able to work up a promo for us.
I'll let you all know.

They look like a good deal.  I've bought two KAC M4 Ras units on the board... both used.  One was like new with verticle grip, three 11 rib panels and two 7 rib panels for $250 shipped and another in very good to excellent shape with three 11 rib panels for $200 shipped.  What is the retail on the Predator?
