What’s up with a lot of the employees logos on their shirt being blurred out? It shows their first name and Geissele logos but they are blurring something specific. What is it and why? It’s not their last name.

Pretty standard to blur the logos of other brands and companies in PR videos like this, even if they are not even remotely related to the industry. |

SOCOM: "Hey SOCOM armorer, can you order a 6.5 Creedmoor barrel for our M110K3's?"
SOCOM armorer: "Nah." SOCOM: "Hey manufacturers, we need an entirely new gun that's just like our current gun but in 6.5 Creed. Instead of simply swapping barrels, which is cheap and easy, we want to give you a multi-million dollar contract to copy our current gun." Manufacturers: "Fuck yes! How many hookers should we bring to the demo?" SOCOM: "All of them." DOD procurement is fucking dumb. |

Good for Bill, he seems like good people and everything I've seen from him over the years suggests that he takes really good care of his employees.
I'm glad to see him have success and wish him all the luck in the world. Glad to see a Patriot do well. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By TheRealBluedog: Wait a minute. I thought SOCOM already adopted the FN scar? When do we start pretending that any of this means a damn thing? Let's all be honest. It's giant bullshit thing. The .gov will keep requesting special new things, and companies will keep thriving on the bloated money they pay. Has Joy even been released yet? Or just the Joy in receiving that .gov check? A new upper, buffer and spring is a better way than swapping barrels IMHO. |

11% of the population is left handed…
Did you notice the number of left handed employees? I dont know the history of the hate for Geissele or what this “have Bill call me” bullshit is about, but the man makes an outstanding product. I sold every one of my crappy Larue optics mounts and went full Geissele and never looked back. Geissele and Larue are not even in the same solar system |

KAC didn’t get the contract because their submission didn’t have an adjustable stock. Big oversight by whoever was in charge of getting the rifle to submission. Opened the box and LOL WTF is this? Failed upon opening the box. I think I would fire whoever did that.
