It is a design from Tiger McKee and made by Red Jacket Firearms.gregthehand wrote:What was that Katana AR about anyhow?
I read that it "is an AR-15 with a Les Baer upper without the forward assist, a duckbill pistol grip, an A1 stock, Daniel Defense iron sights, Bravo Company's "Gunfighter" charging handle (medium), carbon fiber handguards with a rail mount at 11 for the light."
The weapon is very light (5.5 lbs) and is supposed to balance well.
Specifications:
Barrel: 16-inch thin profile, with standard A2 diameter for sight base.
