New NR R18MK2 from Sterling

[TSE JR]

Very nice, swapping the stock was going to be my first question. I feel like a blockier option such as the Zhukov will better match the aesthetics of this rifle, and having a folding option is always nice. Really looking forward to the full review.

There will definitely be a folding option. We changed the geometry a bit, so we didn’t have a final adapter ready to give for the review. You can expect to see it in a few weeks.

Also, MI has a number of new options which we have in stock at The Shooting Edge to allow a lot of customization.

Lookin... goood.

If there is still a 180 recoil harvesting system on the top of the receiver, a certain inherent blockiness would by necessity be needed to accomodate the dual rail footprint.

This looks good, way better than all the other butt ugly 180s out there.

[Bigjackdaddy]

Looks fantastic

[Uniacke]

Looks great and a lot better than the other 180 options I’ve seen so far. ETA for even just a presale?

Ambidextrous forward non-reciprocating charging handle like the ACR on gen 4 please.

[GoldPrime]

The upper looks quite blocky, but otherwise I like it. The pic rail stock adapter is on the lower, correct?

Ambidextrous forward non-reciprocating charging handle like the ACR on gen 4 please.

That's pretty unlikely as it would require reworking the upper and handguard completely and wouldn't work with the removable AR like handguard.

Not to mention that positioning of the charging handle is one of the most highly criticized features of the ACR due to the nature of interfering with ir laser placement and weapon light placement.

Very good to hear! What is the estimated time of release for the MK2 and MK3?
