New pics look great! I think the exposed barrel to hand guard ratio is pretty good. As said in the other thread a ACR stock adapter would make this a big winner (I don't expect that with the initial purchase but hope it is offered as an upgrade). A quick photoshop example shown below..... make it happen :)

Yesssssss!

Exactly what I’m looking for,maybe a longer handguard but that’s AWESOME
 
I think instead spending money on design or materials for some of the requests you're getting, like dust covers, stock plates, etc, just add some extra milling for standard mounting or attachment points that can be utilized by third party designers.
 
Modularity and aftermarket could be big for this rifle, it's potential is there, I just hope they don't loose sight of the possibility and think the final model through. Devil is always in the details.

Yes rifle length would have been my ideal choice. It would have covered slightly more barrel and opened up the use of retro furniture. My mock ups of rifle length below.

That's a good look also :)

I think a rifle length gas system would be beneficial for those of who want to swap out barrels as it opens up a lot more NR length options. I understand it's probably a bit too late at this point, but I hope Wolverine/Kodiak give it some consideration.

Nice mock ups. I think one will need a rifle length operating rod to swap in a longer barrel. Barrel will be constrained by 0.750 gas block size though.
 
Maybe they can make a DMR version in a couple years with a rifle length gas system. But I'm sure the aftermarket will pop up very fast for this firearm. I'm chomping at the bit to get my mill and lathe set up in the house I just bought. Still haven't taken possession...machine tools are all lonely sitting in a seacan.

Thay said, I wonder how difficult it would be to have a longer op rod machined.

That's what I'll be looking into as soon as I get my hands on one of these. Problem is, with buying the house I have no spare cash to buy one. But I'm sure one of my coworkers will get one in the first batch. Another thing is aftermarket bolts. I don't think I'll try that myself - I'm sure I can machine it but those small-lugged bolts need excellent heat treating. I'm sure someone will start making them available in different case head sizes.

This is just the beginning and I think most are wanting way too much right off the bat. Give it some time for aftermarket support to catch up. I'm sure after the rifles are on the shelves and on owners hands there will be options available.
 
Mr. Wolverine,

Please do not delete the ambi-charging handle design. I pre-ordered a gun with the option for a left or right side charging handle and I'll be pissed if a bunch of internet trolls who didn't even purchase the gun get to decide how this gun is manufactured.

We're not taking these things to Passchendaele, if you want something that is mud-proof, buy an AR!

Rant complete.
