Interesting and I’m sure expensive.
I bet it’s cheaper than Sig’s $8k MCX + suppressor package
I doubt it, unless they omit the suppressor. Actually, considering all of the new tech involved, it may still cost more.
Where’s the mag release on this thing? On the magwell?
On the original document it shows a tab on the front of the magazine well. But they seem to have changed that as when Task and Purpose got a hold of it they indicated that the controls went something like this. Charging handle is the black tab near the muzzle pretty much MP5 like but a far longer stroke, magazine release is the “Switch” at the front of the trigger guard kinda like on the IWI X95, except it’s operated by pushing forwards. The bolt release is the black shelf over the pistol grip and the selector is the switch over the pistol grip. It and the Sig have both only been seen with Lancer Magazines of 20 rounds.

two mag release, one is in front of the trigger ring, the other is in front of the magwell.
Thanks guys!
The Israelis got it right with X95, wonder why didn’t GD/ TV do just the same…
Still waiting for Magpul PDR dream come true…
Any one knows their patent number for this SRIA and recoil control system? plz help me 😉
It took decades and for the patent to expire before the AR-15 became America’s rifle, I would expect the same here.
With all the new long-range calibers like 6mm ARC, there’s not much to this that justifies the cost difference for the average user.
Keep in the mind the ngsw is not a one for one immediate replacement to the entire inventory of m4s. Uncle Sam is going to be running the same thing you got in your closet for sometime to come.
Well, the Federal AWB really gave the semi auto carbine market a kick in the pants. That was the catalyst that got lots of people interested in the AR.
The second factor that broadly increased industry interest was when the Federal AWB sunset and people started coming out with all sorts of new products.
6 ARC is a good commercial target round optimized for an AR15. However, it’s not ideal for combat ie barriers and terminal performance.
I suspect that as 6.8 SPC was a compromise between accuracy (6.5mm) and terminal performance (7mm) in an AR15, 6.8×51 is a similar compromise in an AR10.
The 6mm Arc was a DOD project, before it became a commercial round. Hornady developed it from a request within the DOD.
Yes, I should have worded that better. 6 ARC was designed as a niche light sniper support weapon. Big Army has different requirements.
