Nothing wonky or weird, just shoots like a big carbine now. I argue it shoots better now than it did when it was 16in. |

Just throwing this out there for Lancer, SIG or anyone listening to the carbon fiber handguard request.
I would pay ridiculous amounts of money for a light ODG carbon fiber handguard that LOOKS like carbon fiber for my MCX Spear. Toying with the idea of sending out the upper and lower to have them Multipcam'd like those new Spear LT's, would look hot with an ODG CF handguard on that setup. Would also take Coyote CF though but either color had to look carbon fiber like a 1992 Honda Civic aftermarket hood! |

If by regular carbon fiber you mean "Black", I would have less than zero interest in a Black handguard on a Coyote rifle. Just realized they make Multicam carbon fiber cloth too. That would be a sweet project, a full Multicam Spear 308 with a Multicam CF rail! We can start with a Coyote CF rail though! That said, even the Black ones look like Tokyo Drift. Black would look so weird on a Coyote rifle though. |

Ok good to know I’m not hallucinating. I didn’t pay too much attention to Shot news this year, the Pindar SS1 and the A-team Mini-14s have pretty much caught all my interest. The Spear is still on my list once the 277 version comes. |

Does anyone have access to both the 13" and 16" MCX Spear?
I'm curious to see how the 16" profile barrels looks with the shorter 13" rail. I want to see how far the gas block sticks out past the end of the rail, can't be too far! Thx! |

Honestly, on a supersonic round, I'm just trying to get the sound away from me mores than focusing on screwing down to the quietest db rating.
