It's going to rise just before the election and immediately after no matter who wins. Though panic buying hasn't been as extreme, it's just like gas prices and goes up with any vaguely related event.When the fuck will .223 reach sub 40cpr again
if trump wins there will be a slump. gun industry really suffered under trump because of lack of sales. that's why the covid panic was so bad, the industry had decreased production due to lack of demand. 2017-19 prices were abnormal. they were blowing out stock to make ends meet.When the fuck will .223 reach sub 40cpr again
The upper receiver portion of the MCX rail extends further forward than on a regular AR. Its more obvious on the multi-color versions:
What's up with the second sight right behind the Hydra mount? If you want to switch sights I'd imagine a canted sight or anything else would be better than "yank off one sight so I can use the other".

Its not a bad gun. it functions and has familiar controls. Unless congress cuts the armies budget its happening. they've bought 130,000 rifles, and have ~45 million rounds on order (IIRC 2 million a month) and are building whole new ammunition plant for the round.
Teddy Roosevelt really was one of the last cool presidents. My favorite story about him was the time some schizo shot him in an attempted assassination while he was campaigning for president and Teddy, having deduced he wasn’t seriously injured from the gunshot as he wasn’t coughing up blood (it was feared the bullet hit his lungs), went on to give a 50 minute speech to the people of Milwaukee before getting medical attention. The opening lines of that speech were "Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know whether you fully understand that I have just been shot, but it takes more than that to kill a Bull Moose”.
Is that like some boomer bullshit or something? I thought a lot of folks like to mount tape switches or DBAL/MAWLs on that part of the rail.
Is this one of the new production models or a used one?
I know others answered you but were you asking about the possibility of it being done at all or the possibility of it being done by a consumer/end-user?
Don't forget about 6mm ARC and 6mm Max.
What load? I've seen 300 grain SGKs make a rather sizable exit hole in gemsbok and mule deer.
Why?
I think a heavier rifle with less ammo carrying capability (plus heavier ammo), one that has more recoil than the M4, and a rifle with a more complicated maintenance schedule is not the winner the US Army hopes it'll be. Definitely not with the current crop of recruits available. Even if the optic reliably operates as advertised (and the soldiers aren't fucking up their shots by flinching), the US military doesn't rely on precision marksmanship from each soldier; fire and maneuver are still how they train people to win battles with small arms.
Soft points, FMJ and cast lead generally. usually leaves a silver dollar sized exit and the animal does not get far if it gets anywhere at all. some people will scoff at using a "elephant gun" on a deer but the .375 was not designed singularly for dangerous game. it was the British gun industry's response to popularity of the 9.3x62mm Mauser which was stealing market share in Europe and africa. So H&H made their new cartridge a little larger in diameter (.375 vs .366 in the 9.3) and a little more velocity. its really not that different in effect on target than a hot .45-70, .45-90 or similar with a modern projectile.
Ah yes the "6.5 Grendel but better" round that uses the same bolt and magazine, very impressive.
Never heard of it, but it sounds gay.
I remember when I first assembled a rifle in 6mm ARC I was operating on the "it's better than Grendel" perspective. One of my friends tried damn hard to convince me to just go with Grendel.
