....and frankly, don't see where the money is on the thing. In an 18" configuration, it was lighter than many ARs, I'll grant it that.....but I still wasn't all too impressed for the $3000+ price tag at which the shop had it 
. The stock felt....weird. Some of the latches and things didn't look like they'd hold up for a significant period. The adjustable cheek piece was pretty spiffy, though, I have to admit. Overall, the stock mechanism felt somewhat like ye standard 6-pos stock, so maybe it'll hold up better than I think. The charging handle also reciprocates with the bolt, so anyone who would otherwise use the thing for a CMP-ish match might break most of their fingers (depending on their hold). The integrated ambidextrous mag catch was intriguing, and the lower polymer half definitely took a few cues from an AR15 lower. The barrel seemed really thin, like an govt/R4 profile's "thin" part the whole length. I also noticed the complete lack of a bayonet lug.....are our troops moving away from that option? The BUIS were all sorts of funky, IMO. Like a mix between the PADS (PADI?) sight that is on the RRA Elite rifles these days and an HK rear sight's peep mechanism.
It was kind of nifty, really really light, really "adjustable"....but too freakin' expensive. Yes, that shop marks things up....but then again, they're the only people I know of who would even THINK about getting a few of these things in stock. Now, if the SCAR-H ever hits civvie shelves, and is just about as light.....THAT will be worth seeing.
P.S. I only got pictures on my phone's camera, which I cannot upload. Sorry. The receiver still has that freaky "gold" color to it, though.
