As most of you know, we are in the process of changing the handguard. This change is across the board and will probably take place in October/November timeframe. the current handguard will be phased out and replaced with a new one.
This is a SolidWorks drawing of the current proposed new guard. the cuts at and below the centerline will not go all the way through the guard are there for looks and grip surface. Comments??
I am not a fan of the new look. The old design is MUCH better looking. Might be time to go back to the drawing board on this one as it seems like a step back in design quality. Maybe stick with the current design but leaving the bottom not completely cut through. The new lines do not flow at all. But we don't purchase GAP weapons because they look cool. We buy them cause they SHOOT and SHOOT good !

The old design is not an option, this is not a we want to do, this is a court based decision that falls from the Hogan/POF agreement.
Also this is not a final concept so please refrain from just saying you dont like it give me some ideas. Ill take the consortium and come up with a final idea. I have lots that like this to so again its like everything in life Everyone's taste is different.
Should have a couple different concepts early next week.
Its nothing like Larue, LOL If you ordered yours In January you will get the current one. We have over a hundred in stock.
Keep in mind this is a drawing, it will look alot different than the drawing, as the cuts will be champered and radiused

This looks like the perfect opportunity to make the switch to Mega Arms.
I dont even own a gap and you need to give gap a chance to come up with a final product. This stuff is still in development and i think its way cool gap has the trust in the snipers hide community to ask for our opinions. Kinda not cool to post that in the gap thread.
I had to re-read my post a couple of times before I realized I sounded like an ass. I didn't mean to sway anyone from buying a GAP-10. What I so crudely recommended was for GAP to consider building their rifles off the Mega billet receivers. Perhaps even the MKM KeyMod, Lord knows it would look sexy as hell and shoot lights out. If I do recall correctly, the very first GAP-10s used to be built off a DPMS lower.
You guys in Maryland and Connecticut were shoved forward due to Legislation that was passed and deadlines that came with those laws that passed. We are finishing up December orders this week and January Orders start delivering next week. January will take 2 months to get through. February will take a month to a month and a half. If you ordered your rifle in March-April your looking at a December delivery at the moment. This is an educated guess, we have lots of parts now, so further delays don't look like an issue. We are absolutely doing these as fast as possible but were not going to sacrifice quality for speed!!
You know what's great. You don't have to buy one. Sub .5 MOA guns aren't for everybody. Mine looks like a work of art IMO. And when you have it infront of you, it's a BMF.
I ordered on 12/21, I just got the call to send my suppressor last night.
Getting close, I have visions of sugarplums dancing in my head...

"A grasshopper just landed on the top of the cardboard target I was shooting at". So I said "I see it", I have my scope on 17 power, I told her I'm gonna shoot it off of there, and guess what, I did. I didn't even hit the cardboard. She said she saw it go poof.
I haven't seen any examples of such, but can you order a 22" barrel (ie 6.5CM) and still have a brake / suppressor attachment? The GAP website says 20" maximum, but just wondering if they stick to that.
Finalized my workorder yesterday.

I've been drooling over GAPs for years and I finally saved enough pennies.
This is going to be the longest 10 months of my life. haha
I was so excited about ordering it I couldn't sleep last night.
After almost 2 years of arguing with wife, she finally gave the go ahead to order my rifle. Now I'm having a tough time deciding between a PWS Mk216 and this rifle. Mainly because I don't want to wait almost a year to have it!!!! lol
FWIW, this rifle will also be used as a police sniper rifle.
There are 2 GAP-10's on Gunbroker.com right now. I can't tell you what to do but ..... since big purchases come few and far between (kids and all), order exactly what you want. The GAPs will hold their value more. Also I would strongly consider a 260 or a Creedmore over the 308. If you want a short 16" barrel, then 308 and 600 yards is fine. But if you want more yards, then GAP will help you to stretch out there and a 6.5mm will fight the wind better.
Any of the newer hand guards make it out yet?
