I think it could be argued that having a system that allows you to easily change or add bits, depending on the style of shooting that you are doing at any given time, could give you a psychological boost.
Personally I like the idea of being able to change barrel length and knowing that replacement AR10 parts are available off the shelf.

I will be surprised to see this come in under £2000 and that will be the killer for me. I would rather have a custom rifle at that kind of price,

I think DM, that right there is the nail on the head!

Especially when you compare to the costs of AR uppers and Lowers in the states, its depressing :(

Ooh good, guessing games

I'll take a stab at 3000 Drachma, plus a voucher for part ownership of a donkey

I had not seen the Russian military model, it is a strange offering with a 16" barrel and that sliding stock - not exactly built for those wanting accuracy and distance. I would have thought that if someone wanted a short range gun that could be shot in multi positions, they would chose one of the .223's.
Reassuring to see that it is chambered for the .308 round, I would be cautious in buying something that is only stamped for 7.62 as I would want to be using .308 ammunition.

Anyway, good to see them being offered in the UK.

THis picture has appeared on the UKPSA forum with word that SGC are going to start making a .308/7.62 AR again, i'd be surprised if its less than the Rusmilitary one and then theres the added trauma of dealing with SGC . . .

I'm not sure I'd be interested in the rusmilitary offering, even if it cost £1000. My dealings with SGC are well documented, but, generally, his products are probably slightly more reliable than the Russian clone.

Speculation some months ago put the LMT in the £3.5k range. I thought Bradley Arms was going to be a retailer, as well as NWCP and Defence Mechanisms? I know who I'd prefer to do business with out of those three, and it's the one who isn't currently listed as a retailer yet.

Nope. I am just looking at a way of making an alternative cocking lever and the EasyCam was one way I had thought about.
