At a local gun store... behind the counter.
He showed me a few rifles and some pics of custom work they are doing. A rifle for the Seals, some three gun stuff and a custom bolt gun that he claimed did ten rounds into 2" at 500yds... Said the US Olympic Biathlon team is using their system as well.
Neat stuff, and while I have seen their stuff online and mentioned here and there, I never looked into them... Never had the need and way too expensive of an upgrade for my needs and usage.
I did look online for info, and I found mostly old threads.
One guy claimed he was allowed to put an upper they made onto his full auto lower and test it full auto to test the heat claims. He said that the outside of the barrel felt just as hot or more so than normal, and that he wasn't impressed.
I know that many think that better heat conduction means the thing will be cooler, but that isn't so, it can feel hotter as it moves the heat more effectively, so it feels hot, but it cools faster. Like an aluminum block engine will show higher coolant temps than a steel block, because the heat transfers to the coolant better.
So anyone have any experience with them? seems like an interesting concept. Seems more geared to competitive shooters who shoot many rounds quickly and combat snipers, as they can get into situations where they need to provide sustained support fire.
It seems interesting from a technical standpoint, as I said, I don't have the need for one, but I do like seeing new things and innovations in the shooting realm.
