The Optic and the suppressormrclark303 wrote: ↑08 Sep 2023, 19:29 I'm assuming they are referring to the fancy optic setup...
The rifle is obviously no more 'lethal' than the current L85A3, but it's lighter, simpler and obviously has all the benefits of the AR platform, all wrapped up in the ultimate gas impingement variation.
Agreed. There's a reason Stoner's name is usually in the model designation.
As far as I'm aware, they're just putting the optic and the suppressor on, that's as far as the "assembling" goes.mrclark303 wrote: ↑08 Sep 2023, 19:29
It has a UK connection, as Edger Brothers are assembling them from kits in the UK before probably going to Birmingham for proof.
That requires no great skills, as anyone who knows the platform will tell you, easy to strip to component parts and assemble.
Can't help thinking this is just somebodies vanity project though. Why else would they require only AR-15 based designs?
