What size hand guard for a 18.6 inch barrel?

15" will cover the gas block with makes it look nice and clean IMO.

Couple of questions:

What is the make and twist of the 308 barrels?

Any idea what the weight difference would be between the 18.6" Varmint and 20" CFW barrel?

Starting to really like the JR handguard, any reason why you don't offer the 15.5 handguard? I think it would look best on the 18..6

Was there an option for the light profile barrel that I missed?

In a conventional stainless barrel you have 3 options, light contour (government profile), Varmint or Bull barrel

For conventional barrel Lilja, Jury or Proof. For CFW barrel Proof only.
Typically the CFW is 40% lighter than the same size conventional barrel.
Comparing the CFW to the Varmint, I would estimate about a 1 lb difference, the CFW being slightly lighter.
We will have more actual intel on this next week when I get back from a meeting with Proof.

Can I get the magpul UBR stock?

We are still trying to determine if the UBR will allow for charge handle clearance.
Stay tuned for more intel as we can figure out all the little things.

What are the bolt controls like on this rifle? Standard AR? Can use a magpul bad lever? Or are they completely different like how the xcr has its own?

From the pics it looks like the left side bolt release is similar to a AR, however they are giving a option for a ambi bolt release that from the pics looks similar to a SR25 style which in my opinion is a better solution then the BAD lever.

The left side IS an AR10 style bolt release, the right side however is our own design and is not an option, but rather standard equipment.
I will try and get a better photo posted next week of both sides of the lower.

Sorry. I posted this in the other thread.


If a rifle is ordered with the CeraKote finish, is that just the Barrel? Is that just the receiver? or does it include everything including the rail if purchased with the rifle?

The Ambi - Mag release. Is that a standard AR item? Or unique to your rifle design?


Thanks.

There are 3 options as far as CeraKote is goes. Just the barrel, the barrel ,upper and lower, or barrel , upper, lower and metal hand guard.
Pricing on these we are still working on and therefor updating the menu on our website.

Ambi mag can be accomplished either by employing an AR15 Norgon or a similar device that we are making specifically for this rifle. The Norgon is slightly more expensive.

Just me, but if a lot of people opt in for certain things like ceracote, specific barrel profiles, vanilla furniture....would you then offer a chevrolet version of the rifle at a discounted price. I am thinking of price, and from your point of view...ease of manufacture.

I don't know how many people are going to want a cadilac version, i am not wanting a tactical item. Really i want what the topic talks about, a modern hunter. Accurate and dependable without lot of fuss. Again any idea of a time frame...even a ballpark....where a non 308 family chambering would be available?
