Looks like Geissele won the CBP rifle contract.

Drop some details, man.

That's a pretty solid win for both parties, seems like.

Eh… maybe, maybe not. Like many entities which experience rapid growth Geissele has experienced growing pains including QC and capacity / delivery, and customer satisfaction issues with institutional contracts.

Well that sucks, I've really loved my Super Charging Handles, that's the entirety of my experience, but I thought they were generally regarded as a dialed-in option like Colt.

That's twice you corrected my outdated information in ten minutes. Like the news, you're making me more informed but sadder.

I don't really have any details.

Dang, I would have thought BCM won.

Five year contract appears to include mostly parts but also complete rifles. SBR, standard carbines and also some type of DMR option.


DMR doesn't really make much sense without some "better" ammo to go with it. 62 grain ETSP and TBBC are fine but some type of 75-77 match bullet would seem to be a better choice for that stuff.


Anyway, this appears to be the next iteration of the upper and parts contract previously awarded to BCM.

As Tokarev hinted at in the above quote many institutional contracts are now for replacement uppers and rebuild parts kits. Acquiring and disposing of NFA /SBR/ MG lowers is a hassle even for institutions. Enough of a hassle that rebuilding lowers already “in the system” is becoming more and more common.

Soldier Systems is reporting it's complete rifles. Interesting looking handguard, almost like a lightened Mk14.
