    Athlon Helos gen2 2-12x42

    Interesting. The reticle is servicable: Nice parallax from 10 yards, length of 11.8 inches but a little chunky at 25.4 oz (720 g). I'm intrigued if they hold zero and are optically decent.

    CZ Group Announces Purchase of Colt

    https://soldiersystems.net/2021/02/12/cz-group-announces-purchase-of-colt/ This is a good thing for Colt Canada in my opinion as a Canadian.

    I'd rather bail out the sinking ship but I appreciate the sentiment.

    Area 419 Hellfire Linear Flash Suppressor (LFS)

    Really curious how well this would work under NVG versus say a Surefire 3 prong or Warcomp...?

    Colt wins Danish Sniper Rifle Contract

    The MRR was quite popular here in Canada when we could buy ARs. Sadly they are all banned now and we are stuck with them locked up in our safes while we wait for the government to buy them back.

    Big difference between Colt and Colt Canada.

    That's the million dollar question. I personally hope so.

    Colt wins Danish Sniper Rifle Contract

    True that. There are also mechanisms to weight other factors besides cost, such as ratings on various criteria like performance or Canadian content. But, like any other system it can be gamed by both parties of the resulting contract.

    Yep. Canadian Rangers eat seals.

    Colt wins Danish Sniper Rifle Contract

    Not so much in Canada. Since we lack a vibrant firearms industry (for military-type firearms) we have a special arrangement where Colt Canada basically has a monopoly on firearms manufacture for the feds. Thus the new Ranger (not the same Ranger) Rifle is a Tikka CTR made in Canada by Colt...

    Colt wins Danish Sniper Rifle Contract

    Fair point. Military procurement here in Canukistan is just as broken as anywhere else. We almost couldn't get a new pistol for our soldiers: https://ottawacitizen.com/news/national/defence-watch/canadian-military-to-receive-new-pistols-bids-to-be-requested-in-february Well, before the recent...

    Colt wins Danish Sniper Rifle Contract

    Colt Canada (nee Diemaco) isn't on the cutting edge of innovation in the sense that they don't do ground up designs (like you do!) but they have arguably taken the US M16 TDP and made many small but meaningful changes that enhance the reliability and operation of the firearm. Their CHF barrels...

    Not entirely correct - you cannot CONVERT a firearm (barrelled action) into a shorter firearm through the use of a bullpup stock. So mounting anything into the MK Machining chassis would be illegal. However, a firearm that is a bullpup design to begin with is fine. Go figure. That said, OP...

    Tikka T1X

    For all the lefties out there! My earlier posts are attached for posterity: I was hoping to get things working 100% before posting, but since there has been a bit of talk lately I thought I would update on my progress with an IBI left handed barrel. Originally they sent me a righty and...

    NEW XRS Chassis from MDT - Crossover Rifle Stock

    My bad, I guess I mis-remembered that. Still, my point about an ambi chassis design from the get go stands. Practically with all the various inlets it's likely quite a hassle, but perhaps when you start the next clean sheet design it could be considered?

    Sionyx Aurora Night Vision Assembly to Helmet Advice Please

    So, I think you misspoke there - the mount he has clearly uses the BAYONET fitting for the j-arm or whatever is locking up with it. But he will still require something like a G24 that takes a DOVETAIL to use the MACHOS or he can grab whatever this thing that is not included on the right is:

    MDT ACC Chassis

    I think you are expected to know that. And, as pointed out it is not without some quirks like the mag lever being removed. If they ever released a T1x inlet I think you would see that listed. Put another way, if they said T1x compatible on their site some asshat would bitch and moan about...

    NEW XRS Chassis from MDT - Crossover Rifle Stock

    I've been harassing them to do lefty inlets for years too. Weirdly they once replied that they used to do ambi inlets and stopped. In my mind that's a no-brainer. The Magpul chassis with ambi inlet seems like a fantastic idea to me, but I guess it doesn't make sense financially.
