    SHOT SHOW 2012: F&D Defence FD308

    We came across these rifles on the last day. We were intrigued by the way they mated the upper receiver to the rail. The barrel is held by the rail and there is no barrel nut involved. It reminds me of the way Daniel Defence attaches their rails to the recievers, but F&D carried the concept further and machined the bolt receptacle to the upper receiver directly. The charging handle is very smooth as it rides on a electroless nickelled rail. The price point is at about 3000ish.

    The company is a one-man shop and the owner claimed to be doing everything from design to running the CNC himself. The rifles on the table had been put through 3000-4000 rounds each. It will be interesting to see where these will go in the future.

    Pretty neat design, and nice to see a one man show try to push the envelope like that.

    Is this an AR variant? Non-res perhaps???????

    Nice!... Non-restricted ?? perhaps? Its a oputward appearing AR 10 ish, but the uppers and lowers won't work cosmetically or functionally with AR upper and lowers.
    although they do take parts that are standard.

    doubt it but that guy would become very successful very quickly if that was the case for sure. I would buy one.

    Ever since when has that been a barrier to variant classification?

    The company being a one-man show is really cool.

    i bet it would be non restricted... looks more akin to an XCR than an AR to me. i would buy one 100% if they make it up here and are in fact non restricted.
