AAC Honey Badger is Coming to Market

[GOST]

From www.gearscout.com

Remington Outdoor Company Tactical Accessories Director Jeff Still and Senior Product Manager for silencers, Carlos Martinez confirmed Advanced Armament will bring the Honey Badger to the commercial market. They hinted at a release around the 2015 NRA annual show, but didn’t offer a price or an exact configuration. They did show the semi-auto version of the 300 AAC Blackout carbine shown above with AAC’s new Squaredrop handguard, though. The new handguard attaches to the barrel nut using a turnbuckle.





The below is the new Squaredop which is Keymod compatible.

I wonder if this stock will be available separate? I like the looks of the cheek weld better than the NEA/Troy offerings.

I thought I saw a comment where someone suggested there was no buffer tube. The photos suggest integration with the upper. I'm guessing you'd need the whole upper.

That said, I'd love me a HB upper on top of an SBR'd AX556. I even have one lower left that I haven't built out..... hmmmm....

I'm pretty sure the Honey Badger is modified to be bufferless

Buffer is probably integrated into the bolt carrier like it is in the NEA and Troy PDW stocks

^ this. My NEA gas key is poorly staked though. hopefully it holds up. Overall, im not impressed with my NEA but i do love it. It does exactly what i wanted.

release button was rusted out of the box
gas key is staked horrendously
the BCG has machining lines on it. Ive never seen those on a bolt before. good/bad? i have no idea.
roll pin that holds the rear stock plate on fell out (found it luckily)
finish is just terrible. It's like a dark gray that doesnt even remotely match most of the generic blacks so i had to have the whole gun cerakoted.



honeybadger looks sick!

The MVB industries ARC stock is a much better stock than the NEA and only 399. It also works with piston and DI.

I can't see the market for it. A two stamp carbine is going to be a hard sell.

The market will most likely not be that big for the Honey Badger, but the market for it's components could be huge. This may be a launching point for their receivers, hand guards and stock.

Unless they redesigned it, it's three stamps.

In the picture of the new one the third pin hole does not appear to be drilled out.

That would negate the SBR stamp and make it illegal for mere mortals. I was referring to the integral suppressor though. SBR and two suppressor stamps.

I'm confused, why does it need 3 stamps instead of 2? I thought it was either integrally suppressed or detachable, didn't know it could be both? I know the Daniel Defense ISR is integrally suppressed, but it's also over 16" and only needs 1 stamp. I thought the Honey Badger's can was detachable?

[GOST]

Even if the Honey Badger is integrally suppressed wouldn't you still need 2 stamps? 1 for it being under 16" and 1 for it being suppressed?
