Last cost estimate I saw was approx $1400. And yes, I'll be standing outside of their door with my favorite FFL buddy to buy it :) Already planning on the optic and a few dozen PMags just to round out the family :)

Ack... and I was gonna get an M14...

So many guns, so little money...

If I didnt own an AR15, I'd be standing in line for one.

I'll be in line for one too. I've been eye-ballin' gas-piston AR's for a while now and I think this gun is going to be the BEST value compared to what is available right now. I'm not a huge fan of a mostly plastic rifle, but we've trusted tupperware pistols for years and years, and other countries have trusted tupperware rifles to their armys for years and years, why not me? :)

I'm really looking forward to this rifle. Seems like it'd be a great option for our troops too.

Google is your freind, homey.

It's a multi-caliber, piston-operated rifle with three barrel lengths (11, 14.5, and 18 inch). It has a polymer forearm, lower, and stock. The upper is polymer with steel rails inside it, and a full length picatinny rail on top with a built in flip up front sight. The lower uses a AR15 hammer and trigger group in a metal "tub". The barrel unit (with gas system attached) is easily removed and installed. Its kind of a modular set up.

If you know anything about Magpul, it should be don't believe any release dates offered by the company. I love Magpul products, but they are terrible with release dates.

I was either going to build an AR or save a little more and get this. It's a tough call, but I might have to. Any ideas on if they finally decided on the LEO only sales?
