M11/15 Prototype

Hate to break it to you guys, but I'm pretty sure Richard isn't thinking about beltfed anything right now. But maybe just maybe he'll give us some sneak peak photos soon. Please Richard, pretty pretty please. How many do you anticipate in the first run pending/after approval? I'm low on the list

... is that no one suggested a modular feeding system like the HK 21/22/23 to be able to feed different types of calibers from magazine or belts depending on what is installed. I know that this will increase the cost, but if it could function properly, might lower the overall cost as a single upper to build off of.

Are you aware that there is an HK 23E/21E clone of the HK design and has a base price of $12,000? The last I knew the barrel and feed mech per caliber was more than the total upper of the previous design? Belt fed guns are expensive to produce. Lots of little custom parts that must be held to very tight tolerances. If you want a belt feed version, buy a Slidefire belt fed AR and pay some one to convert the Lage upper with the parts. YMMV.

Jackie told me the first run units would be 5 each... I'm #5

Well there's an idea...

the H&K stuff costs so much because you can't get H&K stuff. no one is making the parts 3rd party.

this....and the last time they left anything up to a third party, the world was flooded with backwards pistol bullets

I remember not too long ago when Richard wasn't considering anything rifle caliber. Just sayin'.

I remember Richard telling me his .22 conversions weren't going to happen.

and since it seems to need explaining, here's the deal on the backwards bullet I mentioned:

I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I still laugh my @$$ off every time I see that backward bullets picture!!! :roflmao

I saved that picture.. both links are good reads. I've shot HK subguns and they shoot nice I'd love to have one.. but the difference in experience did not justify the price. I wonder when this will come full circle- there are some Lage fan boys here, though I don't see Richard loading any zmags backwards..

So good, they'll even shoot when user error.

"some" Lage fanboys here.
lol
not hard to get behind a product line that is innovative and works, has great support, and the owner's personal attention to detail/involvement.

 

[rybread]

True, I could easily be counted among them.. especially when this upper comes to market!

How many days are we at for the tech branch now?
