Well cudos to the boys in Winnipeg. - dan

Huh, I thought those guys were already using the L115 A1 which is the AWM in .338 Lapua.

 

[CV32]

Maybe the AI Super Magnum ? (Though for obvious reasons Timberwolf is my personal favourite ).

 

[Max Owner]

So.....

Chances of getting a PGW rifle just got slimmer...............

Dammit, just what I was thinking.

What is this apparent alliance with Colt Canada all about?

 

[dan belisle]

Well, now that Colt owns Diemaco, and PGW was in some sort of deal with them (I have no idea what the deal was, and am basing this entirely on what I've read here, so take it for what it's worth), I assume they are now in bed with Colt. - dan

 

[Lee Enfield]

Well, I can't read the whole article, but it appears that Blaser, Accuracy International & PGW made the SHORT LIST.

IIRC Blaser is owned by Sig?

Is there further info in the subscribed link?

 

[Thamok]

means bad, no more civi sales..........

 

[the wrench]

could it be that Colt is doing the marketing for them?

 

[KPA]

It means that PGW is going to have to ramp up to keep up with orders if they win the contract. They would likely have to prove they can in order to be seriously considered.

So hopefully soon, BF 2 will offer the timberwolf as a unlockable weapon instead of the L96.

 

[DMCI]

Not to worry.

Don't worry, I predict UK only mentality will win the day.

They needed some also bids for the project. Same reason Beretta now supplies US handguns.

Check out their website. I think the picture is of the gun the UK is testing! Looks top knotch as usual...
