I have a hard policy that I won't buy new release rifles in the first year. This rifle is making it very, very hard to follow that policy.
The specs on this rifle are everything that I'd want in a modular rifle. The ONLY thing that it perhaps lacks is a forward QR sling attachment point on the hand guard, but this is an easy issue to address and I appreciate that some people would rather us the M-LOK slots to add their own. However, every other spec is extremely well thought out.
If this thing comes close to the accuracy specs and is as reliable as a good quality DI AR such as BCM or DD, then PWS will sell a ton of these at it could become the premier next-gen battle rifle.
One thing to note, the upper is the serialized part. This has its pluses and minuses. It is a very long billet monolithic upper receiver that appears to end 4-5 inches from the muzzle device on a 16" barrel. This great "rail estate" if you like forward night vision, lasers, etc. However, it sometimes limits how short you can go on SBR barrel lengths and still mount suppressors. On of the advantages of my MCX upper is that it was short enough that I could easily put a 9" 300 blk barrel on it and still have clearance from the upper and short handguard to mount a suppressor. We'll have to see this one once it's released.
