My excitement is tempered by the unfortunate timing. I'm certain there's gonna be a lot of people [cough]alt right[/cough] sporting it for the wrong kind of political statement.

2I agree, the "neo-brownshirts" (alt-right) will see it as their weapon. I always enjoy Ian's videos, an added bonus of this series is their discussion with the designer/manufacturer.Stiff wrote:My excitement is tempered by the unfortunate timing.

4Because they don't have the resource to make faithful but economical repros of the mag, they gear it to fit STANAG mag. That's standard AR-15 mag. They'll have kits and barrels for .223, .300 blackout, 7.62x39, and of course the 8mm Kurz.Mason wrote:I don't have time to watch the video but out of curiosity what is it chambered in?
