Yes please

A 12" barrel... it could probably double as a flame throwerGI8

Actually, I'm thinking that might make the perfect 'truck' gun.

You need to shoot a truck?

 

[RET DEP 04]

Actually, I have, it was not an overall good experience.

 

[Rawnerves]

It's cute, and I don't know whether I like a cute M14 or not?

 

[Witch_Doctor]

Though I appreciate the effort, I don't see it going too far. Pet projects are always cool for the R&D guys.

 

[patriot armory 308]

That aint no M14DISHOUT Thats a rifle built around a M14 rec.and trigger group. JCG is turning over in his grave.GI4

I like it, but you can't put a bayonet on it and I don't think the stock would hold up very well if you had to butt stroke someone.

 

[Bad Mojo]

I love how they think... forward that is... I do like those Troy products. Most of that stuff is outlawed here in the communist state of Chicago. But I like it even though I'm not a fan of short barrels, per se.

 

[dozier]

A GPS installed on the rifle butt???? What next??? I never was a fan of any .308 having a barrel shorter than 18". You give up way too much. dozier

 

[LemmyCaution]

Now, there's a solution in search of a problem. How do I time the muzzle flash with the shutter on my camera? I'm assuming that's what this thing is for.

I like it. Its clearly designed to be shot with the suppressor on- the 12.5" barrel was the length needed to get the can to fit back up to the handguard. Its a handy length, wouldn't have a flash if they can was on, although I have to wonder if it is hearing safe when suppressed. The suppressor also needs to be built like a tank to handle the blast from such a short barrel- which means its probably heavy as heck. No way a light titanium can could take that kind of heat. Has the potential to be lots o' fun regardless DI5

 

[Serpico1985]

I have to agree with crang, I think it's cool! Looks like a handy light blaster in a big boy caliber.

I personally would like more info on the gas system and how they modified it.

That thing is the S$%^!!! I love the length and weight. Think about it, when are you realistically going to need to use the 14s awesome accuracy at the range it is capable of? I don't forsee any Red Dawn scenarios in real life happening here in the US. I think it was a Japanese officer that said invasion of the US is out of the question because there is a rifle behind every blade of grass. What is more likely is self defense of family and property at close range from indigenous tribes, IMHO. For that I really like rock solid dependability coupled with the stopping power of the 14. I know I am gonna probably gonna get flamed for this,DISHOUT but after lots of experience with the AR and AK, I have to say that I would grab the shorty AK for most situations in an urban environment because of the hitting power and solid dependability. I have never had a ft feed or fire in thousands of rounds with it. Accuracy is the one drawback with this rifle. The best of all worlds, again IMHO. would be a platform like the Troy m14. Lightweight, easily accessorized, extremely accurate and dependable, and a man stopper. I think even as short as it is it could be depended on out to probably 500 m or more, while still being easily carried and employed in a vehicle. I hope no one takes this as a comparison of the ak to the M14, it is not, possibly only to say that the 14 is far superior, if compared apples to apples. I welcome modernization and improvement of our beloved rifle. Semper Fi, carry on.

Are there any still photos anywhere a guy with no Youtube access could view?

 

[brassmagnet]

Here are some stills from the video on YouTube - didn't know exactly what you wanted to see.......

 

[Green66Chevelle]

Heck yea, I'll test pilot one!

 

[RVPilot76]

No way a light titanium can could take that kind of heat.DI5

Actually, titanium is an excellent material for high heat situations. Ever heard of an aircraft called the SR71 Blackbird? GI6

A GPS installed on the rifle butt???? What next??? dozier

Knowing where you are at, and being able to accurately report it in quick order may help keep things from falling out of the sky on you....Like JDAMs
