Right before SHOT Show, Bill Geissele hosted a live internet broadcast to unveil his new complete carbines. They had them At SHOT Show but the counter was two deep, waiting to look at them every time I stopped by. Fortunately, they were also displaying the carbines at GAOS.
The line is called Super Duty and currently consists of the Super Duty and Super Duty LE. Barrel lengths for the Super Duty are 10.3″, 14.5″, 16″ and 18″, while the restricted LE model is only available with a 16″ barrel. But get this, the Super Duty LE is only $750 as configured below.

orange o-ring? fluorosilicone? hydrogenated nitrile? viton?
Whatever the o-ring is made of, if Bill says it will take the stress, count on it.
Does anyone know why Mr. Geissele chose to go with a government profile barrel on these builds over something more currently preferred?
People prefer barrels other than government?
I assume that you are joking, but I am legitimately curious as to why a government profile barrel would be put on a weapon that will never take a grenade launcher and does not have a bayonet lug. It is just wasted weight, or at best, misplaced additional weight which does not benefit the user much.
govt profile is whack as hell. Why would i want more mass in the front then in the rear? barrel whip mitigation please!!! i use heavy barrels for just about everything (all my SBR’s + some) for stiffness alone when used with cans, the weight in the govt barrel can definitely be re proportioned to the rear. Surprised the gov’t didn’t just spec a different profile going forward that works better for accuracy because the gov’t profile is far from a winner there.
