Quoted: Ehhh, my Mod 2 CQB won't reliably cycle most steel case stuff unsuppressed. View Quote In the words of Gunthots, "just drill the hole smaller, dummy". |

For all those people saying that what CAG shoots doesnt or shouldnt inform civilian decisions...
I don't shoot underpowered steel cased ammo and neither does CAG... I do shoot under nods with a suppressor and prefer to not have the autogating on my tubes kick in with every shot... guess what, neither does CAG... I think that a lot of people on this board would find that a lot of the downrange considerations of CAG guns align with the considerations that they put into their own purchase decisions. Not saying that it applies to every person who owns an AR, but if you shoot more than the average AR owner, with a higher standard of accuracy for yourself, and demand a higher level of reliability, then I think it would be foolish to ignore what CAG looks at. You don't necessarily have to agree with the choice that CAG makes, but I think its at least important to understand the reasoning behind what they choose. Frankly, they could shoot anything out there, and they would shoot something else if the assaulters felt it gave them more performance. |

Quoted: I actually still have one of the original legacy SR15s with the smaller gas port, if I recall at some point everyone complained at them so much they opened it up. View Quote Its sad. I never got to shoot one of the original intermediate gas SR15s, but I always heard they were dreamy. |

I wouldn’t mock CAG/Deltas choices. Across any given timeframe, you could pretty much endlessly mock GD’s understanding of those choices or their applicability to different contexts.

Quoted: Have no idea. It could be anything really. It didn’t fit their requirements, didn't like how it was suppressed etc etc. As a KAC and LMT fanboy myself, I will say that my 11.5" G and the 16" G's that I have shot, are very smooth, suppressed or not. View Quote I have never used a KAC gun that shot well suppressed , sample size of three. Those guns need an adjustable gas block IMO. |

View Quote Exactly what happened. I was pretty bummed when I realized after the fact. Regardless, the SR25 should definitely be less gassy than the ACC I had, bigger port or not. |

Quoted: I believe I read a post from Trey Knight saying exactly that. Its sad. I never got to shoot one of the original intermediate gas SR15s, but I always heard they were dreamy. View Quote I didnt even shoot mine until I installed my in-the-white 3t, to this day I still have not been able to get another AR to feel that smooth. |

Thanks for the heads up, but my question still stands. I know your point is that what secret squirrel groups do shouldn't have an impact on most people's selection because 99.9% of the people out there will not see any appreciable difference as they just don't use the weapon as hard, but stuff like this is interesting and it gives people piece of mind to know that if Delta or whoever approves, then they know it's quality equipment they can rely on. |

That being said, people complaining about oversized ports on Mod 2 must be a recent thing. I someways remember them being right on the money with their gassing, although I could see them having opened them up because people whining about their cheap shitty ammo having cycling issues. |

I wonder why they’d pick that blown out port for a suppressed rifle. They sure look good though. |

Likely the mk16 |

They already have sigs. Have had them for awhile. Specifically purchased for an alternate caliber. I know a guy who worked on the purchase right before he retired.

View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Take a look at race cars. They're wicked fast and handle as if on rails. Tires only last 200 miles and engines only 500 miles. "The very best" is different if you're staging one-day assaults and have a large logistics train or if -- as the meme says -- "no one is coming to help you". Dude. You just blew my mind. I have no idea why that's such an epiphany to me, but it totally changes my way of thinking. This is why my HD carbine wears an Aimpoint instead of an EOTech; EOTech is a great optic for kicking in doors (or playing with nods), but when you don't know when shits kicking off the battery life/always on of the Aimpoints make them the winner. |

Quoted: Mission dictates gear. If you pick the time and place, EOTech all day. If the time and place picks you, aimpoint or Romeo 4T View Quote funny you say that. I was reading through former Devgru Justin Sheffield's book, Mob VI, and he mentions changing out his batteries on his laser, optic, nods, etc. prior to (what seems like) every mission. I'm sure their support train enables them to run just about anything, if it breaks... replace. I saw a post from former DG Slade on instagram where they are sighting in spare guns (HK416s). Picking what works for them may be an indicator of a hard use rifle, but everything that goes along with the upkeep is not going to be easy for us. It's the sole reason I got rid of my HK416 clone. Yeah I'll never run it as hard and nothing will probably ever break on it but why take that chance? |

It’s awesome. I hope G makes a mint and that leads to more innovation.
