So, I'm not gonna lie. Today I spent most of the day with SWORD International. These are some of the coolest guys in the fuckin world.
Here's their .338LM (12.2 lbs naked) with its OSS supppressor and a USO 5-25x glass
Here's their .308AR (9 lbs naked)
Both rifles are completely built in shop EXCEPT for the Lothar Walther barrels. The .338LM has a billet aluminum 10rd mag!
These rifles are a completely new piston design. All self adjusting and flawless. The rifles are an obvious evolution of nearly ever high end rifle on the market. The features they have and the parts they use.... WOW! Every inch of these guns were combat veteran designed and tested. The .308 currently is just under 20k rounds of test fire... using Black Hills ammo... With only FOUR failures... Two were attributed to bad primers, one to a bad magazine spring and the last one was an actual rifle malfunction.... 1 in 20,000 ain't bad!
The OSS Mission suppressor is the sickest fucking design I've ever seen..... Ron! You need this and I have the hook up for you! The best part about this show is how cool people are. John Hash from OSS was uber knowledgeable about this stuff, from a "been there, done that" perspective.
I'm headed to an after party now. I'll have more later... stay tuned!
