Just new clothes. Handled the standard leopard and the Micro M4 in the RFD yesterday- as nice as the Micro is I don't think I'd want to pay the difference for how I'd be using it

Meh.

I wish FX focus on producing rock solid, quality products rather than knocking out new models every few months.

That looks usefully compact although I'm not sold on the FDE finish. Might have to investigate when it actually gets to the shops.

New clothes for what , looks like a bull pup based on the DRS platform or is it something new ?

Saw FDE grips etc on sportsman gun centre a few months back all out of stock so sort of knew this was on the cards.

Still nice to see something different on offer I'd imagine there will be an OD green coming soon also

 

[Slayer fan]

I take it that it still has a drinking straw in stead of a proper solid barrel . And not optimised for sub12

Wasn't the black tube version launched in March? This is just an FDE update

You're right but my question was more about the mechanics than the brown suit , seems to have the air tube over the barrel like the DRS but does the bottle version use just the bottle or a bottle to add air capacity to the tube ? I think the DRS tactical would sell well in a carbine length and possibly have better accuracy if they used the 380mm barrel from the M4 micro as I've not seen any bad press about them

I think they did a deal with MacDonalds when they went paper, so Id guess they have plenty to use up first

Hideous....

I'd consider the OD green this tho has no applicable usage for me desert shooting in England isn't a thing

Did Action Man have one of these ?

Yeh, on that link towards the bottom of the press release theirs an over the barrel tube version just with some Arca chassis bits.

I agree about the short barrels, never had an issue with any of my non stiffened Dreamtac compacts unless they had an obvious bump.

Oh dear, I can’t unsee it now

 

[That hurts]

About as aesthetically pleasing as a brick - in fact, if you really zoom in close, you can see it's already started leaking ...

Buyers demand, composite and aluminum is what's selling now. It's also more practical, lighter and tougher, less expensive.

Personally I prefer the GRS laminate..
