Milled from 7075-T6 billet aluminum, this design brings forward the current focus to modularize weapons systems for ease of future upgrade, standardize parts and common part dimensions for interchangeability with foreseeable developments and most importantly provide the modern warrior with an improved degree of familiarity when changing weapon models and tactics in all future battlefield scenarios. To summarize, what we are seeing from our perspective is the battle-proven Remington Model 700 (military designation M40, M24) being upgraded to the reliability and handling characteristics of the M16 / AR15 platform. You'll see many more modular-sniper type accessories being released for commercial sale on our site soon.
The assembly itself is one seriously rugged unit, cnc machined and hard-coated black. The extended latch assembly looks very rugged, the latch itself could be filed down if the experienced operator determined a shorter throw is desired. I like it where it is as it is quickly able to be engaged with the trigger finger, dropping the "empty" and the AR-Type magazine funnel seems to find the fresh mag on its own and suck it right into receiver with no fear of error or misalignment. Therein lies the advantage over previous "flush-bottom" systems - one can stay more easily target-engaged during a stressful drop 'n swap reload.
