I mean they kinda are. Solid rifles that are bought because of their name at crazy prices.
Aren’t Rolexes like the bottom tier of Gucci watches? Seems like Geissele.

I’m not a fan of a lot of Geissele practices, but your post is truth.
There needs to be some way your post can be stickied so that anybody replying to this thread needs to read it first.
And let’s not forget that this rifle was designed for this contract. On top of normal overhead involved in government contracts, Geissele also needs to bake in the R&D for this rifle into the per unit cost for the contract. Geissele can’t just assume the gov will continue buying them and that it will be a huge success on the commercial side too. They’re going to ensure they recoup R&D costs with the contract. … and as you said, they can’t charge less on the commercial market.
Oh, and cost isn’t always the primary factor for gov contracts, but it is always a factor if one bidder is way off. So that means all the other bidders were a similar price as Geissele.
Of all the things to get pissy about with Geissele, the pricing on this is not one of them.
Lot of folks thrive on bitching about the successful. KAC, Geissele etc. I think there is some envy or jealousy involved. Of course no one will admit it.
If you don’t like it, don’t want it or cannot afford it why bitch and whine? Just drive on. I’m not interested in large frame AR’s don’t care what he or others build.
Good gear is expensive and often worth the cost. Sometimes crap gear is expensive and not worth the cost. You will not see me whining about either. I buy what works for me. Love Geissele triggers. Otherwise no interest in his products.

That’s unfortunate, but understandable.
For the better, you’ll want the lower with everything they’ve got going on to make it all work as well as it does
I’m in a shitty state, and there are complications. It’s not impossible to get new complete AR-style rifles, but it’s complicated and annoying.

Some more content we filmed that day with the MRGG.
Has anyone heard any updates on this thing? I'm definitely planning to get one!
I agree, over all a lot of cool new parts. I did reach out to them a couple months ago and they said the rifle will be sold as a combo with the suppressor.
They are fulfilling the military orders first. They replied on ARFCOM about it this past month:

They just shipped the first rifles out. Pretty cool.
I wonder how big the contract is? Seems like it's quite the undertaking for most manufacturers, but hopefully they knock it out and get some headed to the civilian market. I just sold my 6.5 gasser so I'm just throwing the funds in savings to put towards one.
If I had to nitpick, i would say that it would be cool if they sized the barrel closer to the handguard so it would look better with normal suppressors.
They have released a couple of variants of the rifle, the maritime series in 14, 16, and 18" and some kind of 20" match rifle. While I realize that they are not exactly the same, they are pretty close to the military offerings. Geissele says they will be releasing them on a regular basis.
New photo on the website looks awesome, I am really looking forward to these hitting the market.
I absolutely care. I'm slightly autist when it comes to my barrel and load specs and such.
Its definitely not common but FN SPRs were crome lined and those routinely shot half moa and the reports are these do as well. I know its apples to oranges comparing a bolt to a semi but highly accurate crome lined barrels at least do seem feasible. Im in the same boat as you, if it does shoot half-moa I wouldn't think twice about dropping 6k for one. Time will tell however.
I’m guessing the price will reduce significantly if purchased without a suppressor. Either way, it seems like it’ll be a top tier rifle for its type, so I’m sure the price will reflect such. Hopefully we find out soon.
That is the price without the suppressor.
This is correct normally . Typically this is not the type of barrel you want on a precision rig. But if they managed to make a precision barrel (.5 Moa) with combat barrel features I understand the hype.
I think that is the fattest can I've ever seen and honestly, I really really like it for that purpose. if I ever win the lotto and buy or build an spr I'll consider one for sure. like the short and fat idea a lot. my bolt gun suppressor is 9" long lol
It will be interesting to see how they price this to the consumer market. I can’t imagine they’ll ask 9K for that rifle with a suppressor and expect much for sales. I believe the current pricing reflects contracts, right?
