That gun is a prototype.They're still working on it. Trads aren't going to like it but who cares. I'd love to be able to deer hunt with my AR. If it comes out this fall or early next year I'm gonna get one.

Answers to some questions I asked them:
1. What is the barrel length? How much is useable (from the breech plug face to the muzzle)?
2. What is the twist rate?
3. Are the 209-223 cases reprimable? If so what tool is needed? I've never heard of using a 209 with rifle brass.
4. Would a regular 223/556 case with a small rifle or pistol primer fire loose triple seven FFG?
5. Is this conversion smokeless capable?
6. Can someone remove the front sight? I wonder this since it looks like a manually operated upper.
7. Is the carry handle included? I'm fortunate enough to live in a state that allows scoped ML's so the sights aren't needed.
8. What is the price going to be? I would love to be able to deer hunt with my AR.
Patrick,
I will answer what I can, as we do not have anything finalized.
1. The Prototype is a 26" 4150 Cromoly Vanadium steel barrel, Barrel
length on a production model is up in the air, we might have a few
options.
2. Have not decided yet.
3. Those cases where used for proof of concept and are working on a
safer/proprietary case.
4. We are hoping to make them reprimeable with a standard single stage
press.
5. I believe so.
6. Yes, but we are planning on using it to retain the ramrod.
7. Probably.
8. No clue yet, we are working on it as fast as possible.
Thank You,
Garson
