We ran the GP5 in a tubeless new generation version and it is lighter and essentially has an explorr stack and front cap now. I think those have already been shipping.

The regional sales guys were in this week to headquarters to among other admin stuff update demo kits and do inventory audits for nfa compliance, and they shot it among several other newer cans.  They thought the GP7 which is one baffle longer than the Explorr .300 to get the 9.5 pin weld length of the original GP7, now outperforms the Recce 7.  They were pretty excited about the new GP series cans.  We were faced earlier this year with a decision to either kick the ball 8 months down the court with a run of the same, or in stream revision to that series and chose in stream revision to somewhat improve the series.

The guys shot also a new unreleased hunting series, a revised PSR5, and the A2SQD. There were a couple cans that were literally finished through production for their demo kits this morning that they didn’t get to fam fire yet. They observed and pointed out on video that the A2SQD was rear ejecting until rate of fire got pretty rapid, and then the ejection moved more forward.  In other words in slow fire bolt speed is not increased.

I have spent most of the year working on manufacturing bottlenecks and capacity increase stuff like manufacturing technology application assessments, around product development, so my time with the newer cans- some of which are like lateral technology cross pollination from other known performing examples, is lighter.

I checked with some people and found we have shipped some tubeless GP5’s and GP7’s to dealers and distributors but on to your door we have to sell through 1 GP5, and 7 GP7’s as of yesterday to get to the new version and update the website pages.

The new version is also in to your door inventory behind those units.

The new Mod5 GP5.  The mod 5 is a little confusing, but the gen one unit was called the spartan, and there was a spartan II, and III, then a GP5 (Spartan 3 got a socket receiving, cone flash suppressor front cap, and pin and weld capability), and a GP5 with mod 4 baffles, and now the GP5 tubeless is a can they are calling the mod 5 because it follows the mod4, and uses patent baffles even though it is maybe the 6th major revision to the direct thread 5.56 cans in terms of line history.   The mod 5 has an explorr .224 stack, and front cap, affording the same 3/4” socket, flash hider, and pin and weld capabilities as the original GP5.

Now 11.5 ounces, and still 6.25” overall length, capable of one stamp pin and welds on 10.4” or longer barrels.

We do offer the MK1 and MK2 rifles that way.  The 11.5 5.56mm CQB, and the 9.5 300BLK CQB.






I'm not a huge DT fan, but I understand some people want simple things that are more affordable and lighter and the DT cans have no muzzle device weight and are more affordable.
