Don't know, but aren't these made from an actual AR 10 receiver and as such able to take more AR parts? That sounds a win and likely higher cap mags will come later....
good price though and cheaper than a Molot.

What do you want to know? I've held one & seen it in action, I know the guy bringing them in & have met Cansh Pope the shooter who has put these on the map.
The 10 round mags are due in very soon I'm told & plenty of shops will be stocking them all over the country. It's based on an AR-10.
They are getting good feedback with regards to functionality & what cartridges it likes etc, but they're still new & as such problems will arise & have to be resolved I'm sure. Cansh & Alwyn are constantly updating the manufacturer with feedback though & the second batch already has some changes from the first.
My own personal opinion.... £900+ is a lot of dough for a new product on the scene.

These look awesome, not cheap but not plastic too.

Looks like one to look out for! The pictures on the website a bit naughty though as the barrels shown certainly don't look UK legal/24", more likely 18", so people might get a shock when they see one in the flesh!

I was thinking the same regarding the barrel length. I think I could be tempted though if the 10 round mags are cheap enough.

Presumably that video which looks to have been shot at Shield is a 24" barrel?
