They have a new BZ competition one now that does the same thing at just under 3 lbs.....for all the guys that like the light systems.

Haven't followed this thread for some time but something I've been dreaming of lately is kinda going along with the current theme of barricade stops, what I would like to see is a barricade stop that doubles as a palm swell for my HS3 
Something that wraps around the sides of the chassis just infront of the mag well (think ala the AI AT built in palm swell but with teeth for a barricade); I want an AI but can't afford one so turning my HS3 into something similar, for me, is the next best thing lol.

Whoa that's pretty much describing the Ruger PR. A crass thing to say, but a cool concept.
Some of what is dreamed of here is beginning to bend physics. Carbon wrapped barrels- light weight while sacrificing cooling. Side effect to complain about next is a short barrel life. Lighter rifle means means greater recoil impulse. Needs a bigger brake. Annoys neighbors, or yourself, being said neighbor. Titanium is a neat material, but very difficult to machine and is not very tough. Strong, yes. Tough, not so much. It also does not conduct heat well and has a coefficient of thermal expansion that is about half that of steel. Hence, given enough cycles, a steel barrel may cause a titanium action to fail.
If the goal is to perform better, time is the best investment. After that, what is the goal??
PDC Custom's new barricade stop system.
Interesting design, but I can't say I'm a fan. I really dislike features with singular/very specific functionality, as I believe it reduces the overall utility of the rifle. I want my rifle something that can be taken out in the bush for hunting, or can be dropped into a warzone and be effective. Multi-faceted. I really can't see taking a rifle with this chassis to anywhere but a range/match.
Call me old fashioned I guess.
As an aside to this thread, my work has a number of these and they are pretty amazing.
I am surprised that no one is talking about the "The Fix" by Q. www.scout.com/military/snipers-hide...0-q-switch-barrel-rifle-for-shot?s=541&page=2
It seems to be a neat concept.

Haha, that part is very true. Over on SH someone point that out - still it is a pretty cool rifle.
Their weight claims are also a little off - they use a shorter and thinner profile barrel to get the weight down.
Well, see it's kinda "character" thing. First you say you made something new, yet you just copied other people work and twist the truth a little bit. Then you claim a weight, but you cheat a little bit too. And so on. The only question is how many times you have to catch a guy on twisting the truth until you don't trust them at all.
In my books once is enough )
PS
Funniest thing is that honestly it won't make any difference if they said honestly "we saw this in a Merkel product, we think its cool" and "well the real weight is whatever" and so on. People who dig that package would still buy and admire it. But no, you have to lie every single step along the way just to make it slightly more appealing at a first glance... Not the company and attitude I would like to support with my money. We already have big pharma and utilities to play that field.
Hawkins Precision DBM with picatinni rail. Beleive he has a barricade stop that goes on it as well.
Hawkins now sells the rail add-on as an accessory for any M5 bottom metal. Butches Reloading sells them.
Double check. When I was looking into accessories for the AT, it wasn't concrete that the Keymod stuff would work. I guess this was AI's tech first, and then the guy left and made Keymod...
I ended up buying AI accessories.
