A piston driven .308 weighing at 7.81 lbs. and a MSRP of $1330 sounds very interesting.

Supposedly 57% of an AR-15's components will be compatible, including handguards that fit the EXO system will work with this .308.

Here's a video of a live one:

The guy in the video said in another forum that the recoil was the same as an AR-10.

Interested. Been following ARP's NexGen .308 with interest being it's a lot like this. Harrison says his takes a lot of AR-15 components as well including the 15 hanguards, but with his you gotta use the DPMS lowers. Maybe they'll sell receiver sets and piston kits later, you could make one helluva custom light .308 on that.

This one is based on the dpms GII. I'd like to see a .308 with GII length receivers but using Harrison's BigBolt instead of the bolt DPMS is using.

Exactly! Just can't have it all I guess.
