It is mostly for when using suppressors the gas needs to be adjusted to keep the firing rate normal.

I love the design. Field strip look remarkably simple. Adjustability looks great, operates smoother because the charging handle is on the fore-end and you can use the bolt catch for faster reloading and It has various calibers so no mather which round the military decides to use it's a few cheap parts. Interchangable parts between varients is nice and here's the best part.. Made in America. What's not to like about this weapon?

vary interesting, i like the over-all layout of the controlls and the look of the weapon, but what does the gas-shut off do? would that make the weapon manualy-operated like cocking the bolt for each shot perhaps for a mission wear silenced weapons are needed and the racking of the action could be a problem? please explain.

I like the placement of the charging handle, much more stock options. One of the best features is the interchangeability of barrels, stocks, and calibers.

just like you i loved the 6.8mm and the 7.62x39 but they both good for only 300mthe 7.62x51 good for 800m but the new 6.5x39mm is good up to 1000m and unlike the 7.62x51 20 rounds the 6.5 comes with 26 rounds !!

What I'm hating is the fixed stock appears to have no LOP adjustment. I'm in the Aussie army and we are looking at a new rifle (we currently use the Steyr A2). Either this or the SCAR are my picks in 6.8 and 7.62

The 7.62 is a much harder caliber to control in full auto, though, especially the NATO version of the round. That's the reason why the AK-47 have a lower hit rate than the M-16. It's a good caliber for a DMR. The 5.56 is really destructive, though, too. It can still kill whatever it hits.
