Forward Controls 6315

[Deadwing]

We didn't test them last weekend, CA had some uncharacteristic rain storms that made national news Both 6310 and 6315 have been redesigned a bit with larger ports and internal cone cavity, which renders the current batch invalid candidates for testing

Tis a pity to have them go to waste...

[Duffy]

They won't go to waste. I suspect they'll be fine (as in equal to A2), but we have higher expectations
We'll give them away as prizes and such, with the knowledge that they are the pre-production prototypes, though perfectly usable.

Of the three things we want to test, two of them have to wait till the new prototypes arrive, as the results obtained from the early prototypes can't be used to validate things.

The outside ports will look more like the design (the first prototypes have oval, tapered ports), they should be more angular:


But that's just aesthetics, I don't mind if they look like the way the early prototypes do now.

Reminds me of a guy i used to work with lol.

Me: "Hey, Gary, Delta is whining about light chop at FL360. He's your control if he wants to move"

Gary: "Roger, roger."

Are you an ATC?

These new ports look sweet. Don't think I've seen anything else quite like them.

[Duffy]

The ports are based on the Stoner 63 LMG, but they look a bit like the HK flash suppressor

You're such a tease, Roger. That looks great. My rifles NEED that.

Yessiree. ZSE (Seattle ARTCC).

Ha! I wonder if we've ever talked. We don't get up that way often, but if you hear (or have heard) callsign Twister, that might just be me.

Is Twister TTX? Sounds familiar. If you've ever flown in to the Seattle terminal area, there's a good chance we've talked to one another. I'll keep my eyes open and give a shout out.

Here's a question for you guys, your opinion is requested

In the beginning we were planning on 6315A1 and 6315A2, the A2 is what we made first, with the close bottom. The A1 version is pretty easy to develop, it may offer better flash suppression but it won't work as a comp and it would have more dust signature when shooting from prone.

I kind of gave up on the A1 version and went straight to the .30 cal version (6310). These days, it seems unless you're building a retro AR, there's scant reason for an A1 bird cage.

Your thoughts please

[GOST]

A2 version would be what I'd buy, couldn't see myself buying the A1.

[Stone]

A2

[Deadwing]

I'd be going the A2 route myself.

Yup! That's our company callsign. May or may not be me flying through depending on rotation, but here's hoping for another trip that way soon!

Definitely the A2.

[Slippers]

I like the A1 because I don't have to time it. :)

Most of the suppressor mount flash hiders kick up dust regardless of how you orient them, so I guess I don't really care about the lack of ports on the underside of the A2.
