New NR R18MK2 from Sterling

[rommelrommel]

Less than twice the price of a 180? Jeezus. That's tavor, xcr/acr and modern hunter territory

Think of it as a steel G36 lol

 

[Fjorden]

The more options the better, good news in the end.

Excited to see a full review on this rig.

 

[GoldPrime]

Any news? Bumping for interest.

 

[Bartok5]

Still awaiting one of the first production rifles for my review. There was a delay with subcontractor delivery of certain critical parts, hence the overall.delay of a week or two......

 

[HvacFridge Apprentice]

I was just thinking about this rifle and where it stands. Waiting for updates. Thanks Bartok5

This project was never conceived to be just "another 180" with some added lipstick on the pig. It was always going to be more as we have asked for a ton of modern features that obviously drive up the costs. We also want it to shoot better than "minute of pie plate" that a lot of the current offerings routinely achieve. This all costs more.

Things have been delayed a bit but we should have photos within a couple of weeks and video shortly there after.

Have you 'ever' used the FA on an AR? Waste of metal and parts IMHO.

yup, cmmg .22 conversion needs a little love tap with the FA a few times a mag. and better to have and not need...

Some people like Forward Assist's.. I guess it's the old "I'd rather have it and not need it, than need it and not have it" philosophy.

I do(did before the ban). If you think you released the charging handle too lightly after a press check, what do you do? You tap the FA.

Most of the time BCG went home, but 1 out of 30 times is enough to warrant that extra metal.

I don’t use it for failure to feed though, only press checks.

You use your thumb and the cutout in the bolt specifically designed for exactly this situation to push it forward into battery?

 

[Ustauk]

Unless I am mistaken, this still a AR180 - based design with a left side charging handle; do you even need a forward assist with a side charging handle?

No, the FA is only even vaguely relevant on the 15 because the charging handle can't push the bolt forward.

Awkward, for one I'm sorry I'm quite a clean freak and hate for my thumb to pick up all the carbon. Secondly after a few hundred rounds BCG at gas port gets quite toasty. But hey good for you. Love the emoji at the end.

And NO, the cutout isn't for you to push the BCG into the battery. Think again.

thank you... at least someone knows that's what its for.
