The gallery didn't have an obvious date attached and I assumed it was from this year. It's actually from 2015 Ahah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturgeon Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 Ah, it looks like it's older, but maybe it's been updated. Do you know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramlaen Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 FY2017 has the same blurb in the Non-System Training Devices-Combined Arms section, but not FY2016. I have no idea if it is a typo, when was the M4A1+ upper canned? https://www.asafm.army.mil/offices/bu/content.aspx?what=BudgetMaterials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoooSeR Posted September 29, 2017 Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 Lazarev about PL-15 (some footage) and interview with Lebedev. Ergonomics is good, soft recoil, PL-15 trigger is much lighter than PL-14 (PL-14 had heavier trigger for safety reason, as i understand it was made for Army in mind). In interview Lebedev was speaking about changing\swapping striker to hammer in same pistol (???). 16, 18 round mags are already made, "assault" 30 round mag being developed (already tested). Pistol can survive 15000+ rounds with being capable to do more ("More" was not tested), PL-15K and PL-15 mags are not interchangable.

FWIW: The M14 EBR stock was an outgrowth of NSWC-Crane's efforts to graft Sage's Remington 870 retracting stock on existing stocks for the M14.

So... yeah. The pistol will be available in striker fired and hammer fired versions, I guess. I think that's a first. Could you pretty please do a summary of the AEK-971 video?
