What have you boys heard about them...rumor has it that they will be out very soon. It sounds like it will be sweet! What say you?

I don't think they have been released yet. I like the monolithic rail concept and the quick change barrel. The gas piston is the icing on the cake.

I will definitely be looking hard at them when they come out. From what I have read, they will only be a little bit more than the reg MRP...

28 weeks and counting. Ordered them a few days after SHOT 08.

I am really not sold on the whole piston system concept, its a good idea but the heat and residue is still going somewhere, now its just on a part that is not standard throughout the industry. If I break something on my Armalite I can grab either one of 5.56 Noveske's or my Colt and pull that piece off and slap it on or vice- versa but not with a proprietary piston system. Sure the heat is going somewhere else but it is still there and so is the gunk coming off the weapon. I dunno I am not sold on it, I will stick with the original until there is a standard piston system out there. Enough with my rant... though I have to say if I was gonna get one it would be a LMT, they of all people know what they are doing.
