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

No, these get cheaper as they get more sophisticated...
But only for PCGUY and the moderators!
Nicely done, 8 hours on "AAA's"? SWEET!

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 are same for all BLs and assembly time is shortened considerably. Part cost is less with increased purchasing and run quantity. Also, we saved cost by designing and assembling the electronics in house... etc.

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