K10 at IWA in Germany 2012

KRISS USA posted this on their facebook page. Slight changes. Anyone recognize the iron sights? I dont. They look hideous compared to the Vector sights.

the whole thing looks hideous. I sincerely hope they make an option without the extended barrel and rails, but I don't know how they could because it looks like the whole action is moved forward.

I was looking at it and I think the upper and lower receivers have been shortened. Just think how the Vector has all this deadspace. For the Light and real estate to put side rails and bottom rail. Well here that has been eliminated. And it is a rail system. I think it solves the problems that the Vector had. The side rail would interfere with the charging handle. But i still think that this new vertical charging handle will be an awkward motion. Inline forward charging handles are better IMHO.

Yeah, there really is a lot of dead space in it. Must add quite a bit of weight when it's all taken account for. I agree that I don't like the vertical charging handle... seems kinda wonky ya know? However, they could have kept the rail on the gun instead of the barrel with this up and down charging handle.

No, not yet... but that Trijicon SRS in-between them is interesting.

Very cool. Probably uber expensive. the SRS sight.

I think the bottom rail needs to extend all the back and side rails need to match.
