LOL Soon.... >:D

I'm curious as to why it can't be used in a non-bench situation, I think it would be fantastic for helping you level a bipod when shooting from a hide on an incline.

You aren't kidding, the PRS is a weapon unto itself.... I don't trust mine at all until it's had at least 6 beers, and even then you can't turn your back on it!

Here's the deal with the monolithic design: Cowitnessed optics, magnifiers, NVOs ,etc.. benefit from the monolithic rail design in that they will consistently return to zero and not be subject to POI shifts that can result from the forearm losing it's thread tension at some point. This is one of the reasons the SPR platform featured a monolithic rail that spanned the receiver and forearm. On the whole, it's a much more rigid platform than receivers that utilize thread tension for rigidity. In any case, to each their own, but I sought this platform out to see how much accuracy I could achieve and the monolithic design has so far yielded the best results in that regard.

Char, ya gotta get your own username here so we can teach you the tricks of stealing your hubbie's AR parts, just like blondielocks!

Pretty sure everybody tried to help you brother, sorry it didn't work out for you. Good luck and happy trails!

Yessir, I'll be mightily please to see more quality products arriving under that license!

I'm thrilled to see this much interest in the product! With regard to those looking to invest, you probably know very well that startups aren't inexpensive to get up and going, so PM me about that, I've got some good profit-sharing options that I think you'll like a lot. I don't yet have a time frame for mass production of these just yet. The parts and assembly are incredibly complex and I'm trying to find a way to simplify and expedite machining and assembly processes in order to widen the margins on these enough to make it both worthwhile and competitively priced.

The original monolithic is gone, They've got a new platform coming out called the Megalithic, and it looks REALLY good!

That's a very good point, completely valid. I guess that's the price I'll be paying to try to push leading-edge design and technology onto what is still a fairly narrow market, I'm hoping the fact that I'm not just copycatting a bunch of stuff that's already grown tired in the aftermarket components market will play well with my customer base. I mean, Tom has already found a Geisselle rail that's very much emulating my own idea. GEISELLE, no less... The "Celtic Cross" pattern has a lot of traction in the market, but I feel I'm well positioned to threaten the difficulties that design throws into the equation.

Speaking of sandpaper, applying it to perhaps a stippled surface might make it ever so slightly less......stipply as it were... Just a thought. <dontknow>

I had to get creative with the "diamond"(patent pending) shape. One of the many problems I kept running into with round hand guards, is that they were difficult to steady with 45° offset sights, what with the rifle rolling around like a drunken double amputee on a spiral staircase. Offset sights work great as the rifle rests naturally on angle when the bipod isn't deployed. Funny story, my wife was doing rapid rifle-to-sidearm drills with the new handguard, and her pinky got lodged in a keyhole right as she was transitioning to the sidearm! I was ROFLMAO while that 10lb rifle put her in an arm-bar with the rest of the ladies in her class stood looking on in shock and awe...

My raw materials are a little bit of a trade secret, I've invested a lot of my kids' college fund in this thing, I'd hate to send all that down the drain for "Joe the Garage Gunsmith" to be making his own. However, if you were interested in trying one, I can certainly understand the appeal of it.

I haven't determined a price point for it yet, but if I understand you correctly, I'd have no problems whatsoever with sending one out for review.

That thing is amazingly sturdy, it has taken all the abuse I've thrown at it and then some. This thing handles a 3 foot drop like it's nothing.

You are correct. The principal idea there was to keep the area where the legs are mounted from robbing keymod slots of precious rail real-estate. In this way, whatever the legs are displacing, can simply be mounted on the legs themselves. This is where this system comes into it's own when it comes to other rails or bipods. it wouldn't surprise me at all to see competitors start putting picatinny rails on their bipod legs based on this system.

I won it in a bet with a shooter, he took my bet that my Osprey would outshoot his NF 5-for-5 at 800 yards. He didn't know that while I was distracting him by getting loud defending my lousy optics, my wife was replacing the top 5 rounds in his Pmags with PMC 147 gr soft-points. Got a $2k optic for a $12.99 box of gun show trade boot.

Yes, it's fully free floated! The handguard can also be rotated up to 180 degrees to accommodate usage in doorways or other cover/concealment options. Also, at the full 180 degrees of rotation, the bipod can be paracorded to an overhead item to provide stabilization from a "hanging emplacement" configuration, just in case potential buyers have an application for shooting from aerial platforms like tactical helicopters and stuff. :ph34r:

Well, I've been working on a clandestine DIY project for quite some time now, since the KeyMod FFHGs and uppers have become all the rage. It took me quite some time to get this together what with my OCD and perfectionist nature and all. So enjoy a preliminary pic of my DIY KeyMod FFHG! So, no sparing my feelings guys, what do you honestly think? :love4:

I heard a whopper almost that big the other day, but I didn't have health insurance and didn't like it or need to keep it.... Lmao

If she isn't concerned about overpenetration, she needs to be!

Right on brother Larry!

It's easy, when these guys like you, there will be no end of grief. If they don't like you, cold politeness is the order of the day.

Poor little fish, I hope you kissed that tiny little bugger and put him back with his mommy... ;)

*shakes head* Bunch of smart alecks..... LOL
