I finally got around to taking some pics for you guys. There were a couple of surprises with this one...some good, some meh. The barrel is just over 16" and is chrome lined as advertised. Supposedly 4150 steel with forged 7075 upper and lower receivers. The barrel is a medium-ish profile, but it has a grenade launcher cut just forward of the gas block. What the heck? I really don't care for that part, but at least the handguard covers it. We'll see how it shoots before I get too disappointed.
Anyway, the gas block is adjustable via allen screw. If anyone has any experience adjusting one of these for a can, I'd very much appreciate any pointers you can lend.
The castle nut is lightly staked. It's not exactly "mil-spec" staking, but it's not a "mil-spec" rifle. I thought it was a nice touch. The fit and finish are excellent...no noticeable play between receivers. The bolt and carrier appear to be pretty solid.
The trigger is a very nice 2-stage. It's definitely modeled after Rock River's, but it feels more robust. The 2nd stage is prominent but light and smooth.
It has an ambi charging handle that should rival anything that Bravo/VLTOR makes. I expected to replace that, but I won't now that I've handled it.
What else? The muzzle brake looks like a beast. It's not anything like the stock pics. I'm sure it's very effective, but I'm kinda waiting for my Dead Air Nomad to get approved before I shoot it.
Let me know if there's anything else you'd like to see or know about it. I'll do my best to answer.
