Still coaxial and sports a 60" rifled spudtech barrel. Cam locks are standard now to make shipping, cleaning and storing easier.

Dang... That's nice. I assume the price will go up for the V2 model? I can't afford it anyhow :D

Actually the price is going down! The Grip assembly is now made from smaller pieces of material, less operations on the CNC and utilizes an AR grip from DPMS. The controller and igniter fan assembly ...
