They seem to have the engineering, and marketing down, but come on. A dual forwards assist, that also drops the bolt? I'm not a seasoned AR user, or any of that stuff, but I've shot a lot, and learned a lot, from reading stuff from serious gunners. It's definitely flashy. You can have one for a meager $2,785.

If people buy Jesse James guns, then I am sure they'll buy this too.

It's worth what the market will bear, and as useful as they will market it.
Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers

I actually really like the design aside from the color and the dagger on the end of the barrel and rail. However, I doubt that dual forward assists are really necessary. Also, I would never pay that price for an AR.

This rifle is intended to address the tactical fringe (sucker) market.
Note the infantile tone of the guy in the video. It's a toy.

I agree Charles. You can really tell the type of person that is going to think this AR is cool or practical by listening to the guys tone/deflection.

ARs are getting out of control lol. What happened to functionality? Here lately it's all about who can trick out an AR more crazy than the next guy. I just want an AR that shoots straight and goes pow when I pull the trigger. Now functional upgrades I'm all for but these wild paint schemes with skulls and wild colors do nothing for me.

Agreed, and I sure can't imagine paying an extra $2k for them...

Hate to get poked in the AZZ with that "toy" But really, if I didn't have a Seekins on order, I'd be all over this bad boy. And if Seekins doesn't hurry up and build mine, I'll cancel my order and but one. I have some "soul brother" in me somewhere down the tree

Soje quit being a hater.. J/K that thing is hideous. Lol I barely ever use my forward assist, I definitely don't need 2 of them. Although I did use it a few times this weekend my AR got so dirty from shooting suppressed it wouldn't chamber a round fully. Time to clean that bad boy LOL.

Been shooting M4s, m16s, and ARs for 10 yrs now and I don't think over used the forward assist other than when practicing SPORTS.

Did everyone notice that the forward assist will also drop the bolt? That's their big claim to innovation. Everything else has already been done. So for righty's, your supposed to be lightning quick. All you have to do after loading a new mag, is unwrap you thumb from the grip, and push the right side forward assist, to drop the bolt. Might have to watch the video, to make sense out of my English here. Again, I haven't shot enough to be proficient in any type of fast paced stuff. That being said, it seems like most of the people that really train a lot, don't want to relocate controls.

I'm fast enough with the original bolt release with my left hand. I don't need to pay and extra 2k to use my right thumb.

All you have to do after loading a new mag, is unwrap you thumb from the grip, and push the right side forward assist, to drop the bolt. or I can never break grip and use that handy thing on my left side of my body MY OTHER HAND! It is free, I never come off the cheek weld and hit the release with my left hand that is already indexed closer to the release than my left thumb is to my forward assist... His silencer was WAY WAY over hyped, they had REDICULOUS claims... this is the same... Why 2 forward assists, I've used my a handful of time sure but still why need 2? two barrels? ok, two forward assits.... WHY? lol
Sombody smells like fried borritos...
