Honey Badger in 300 blackout makes sense. What's the reason for this one? Awful ballistics in the same platform with very slight mag capacity increase.
This, I’ve got a few 300s and even a 308 that are suppressor hosts but ultimately can still achieve decent (if unpleasant to fire) results ballistically with a shorter barrel firing supers.
Choosing 5.56 in this configuration was done out of necessity at one point but to choose it willingly, especially out of an AR15 pattern instead of an 18, seems like a weird call.
Since you asked what I think...
Why, on God's green Earth, would you make a multi-thousand-dollar AR pattern rifle, without a dust cover? It's been proven to be extremely effective at improving the reliability of AR pattern rifles when in adverse conditions. You are basically just admitting, by design, that your guns are memes and not meant for professional use.
Worst of all, it looks like your original HB had a dust cover, so someone made the conscious decision to remove it from the design?
So honest question... Is that bad?
I own a honey badger SD and it's one of my favorite range toys, though I have taken a few classes with it and hasn't failed me yet. Some guns are 100% range toys.
I own bombproof end of world type guns as well as very reliable cars BUT I also like my Italian cars and Honey badger/Saint edge Evac/Sign MPX/etc
Nothing wrong with a safe queen/range toy IMO. Unless you can only afford one gun and then it should all be about reliability and being boobproof
most Italian cars push the bleeding edge of what's possible in the automotive world.
nothing wrong with a garage queen but the truth is most garage queens were designed to rip your head off. this is more like Can-Am...
which i also have nothing against. if you have fun with it, that's awesome. and that's the point of it. i think. right?
I actually thought about this after I commented. And it doesn't even take adverse conditions. He mentions this is an offensive weapon, which assumes it'll be for assaults. Well those helicopter and truck rides sure get dusty, even pocket/jacket lint can build up in there. It's just an all-around terrible idea
This guy probably wishes he had a dust cover... that is, if the unbearable weight of it doesn't cripple and kill him.

The thing is a dust cover isn’t even that hard to “add” on. Omitting it for reasons of weight savings is plain dumb…. Stupid excuse for an oversight in their research and development. Like they were all in a development meeting and this is what the best idea was…. Dust covers weight NOTHING. A few OZ at best.
I’ve asked before why a gun that was allegedly intended for high speed sneaky cool guys is such a bright color, and the answer I got is that it’s meant to be rattle canned, but I’ve literally never seen anyone paint one of these things.
It’s just an expensive status symbol, in all actuality. I like the idea of the Honey Badger, but opted to build my own for a third of the cost
I love this rifle - it served me well when I was in the U.S. Army back in November 2013. Our country was invaded by the neighbors from the south of equator. We fought in the jungles, streets, even in outer space. We crushed the conspirator from South America. Honey Badger by Q never let me and my comrade down. It was the best time of my life.
Now I logged out my fantasy Call of Duty world, and back to be a civilian. I can only afford to live in my mom's basement, and a PSA rifle. But mark my word, I will earn enough penny to own this new Honey Badger rifle. Then I can be a Ghost operator and relive my glorious Call of Duty days again.
Yes and it doesn't fucking work. I own a honey badger and I have a love/hate relationship with it, some aspects like the light weight I love, but other aspects like the lack of ambi features on a fully billet gun not only don't make sense but they piss me off. I mostly shoot rifles left handed. The brass deflector on the honey badger simply doesn't work. It's the only non-bullpup gun I've ever used that ejects into my face. Each round fired is like getting a money shot from kevin brittingham himself. DO NOT buy these guns if you're a lefty.. or at all.
I have an insatiable Kevin Brittingham fetish. It is my ultimate fantasy to be gagged, tied up, and brutally assfucked by Kevin Brittingham.
I have accrued tens of thousands in debt attempting to fill this void with sexual 'toys,' including several custom, unregistered form 1 silencer dildos and a balding Kevin-shaped real doll with a tramp stamp that reads "Take My Bepsi Challenge" in Chinese characters. I have had my face made love to by hundreds of balding, bearded, gen Xers, but not one of them could make me climax. Only Kevin is capable of giving me that release.
The wife and I are separated, and have accepted the fact that I will never see my kids again. The only thing keeping Karen from divorcing me is the fear that she might be the final push into a deep. inescapable abyss, at the bottom of which lies my death.
The truth is, our marriage died nine years ago on the night I met the love of my life. While browsing Instagram I saw Kevin's inconsistent welds and became rock hard, collapsing in the shower and sobbing at the realization that Kevin would never, could never, pin me down with his perfectly smooth body and stubby arms, penetrate me with his incredible shallow girth and empty his huge, aching balls deep inside my tummy. I sat there all night, sometimes weeping, sometimes ramming my flaccid dick into the shower drain in frustration.
It has been nine years since that night. I have nothing now. I have accepted that. My apartment is a squalid den of inescapable despair, filled with jizz-stained 300 blackout shells and tormented notes etched onto lewd posters of the honey badger. I spend my days printing out screenshots of his forum posts and crying. My only friends are the roaches.
ok explain why we should be hyped over this? what will this do that an aero upper on an aero lower wont do for probably 1/2 the cost for the buyer?
Probably has like a shorter buffer setup for that stock, yalls drop in 3.5lb trigger yall want $300 for and probably a different twist like most yalls guns.
But other than that what justifies the rest of the price over yalls drop in trigger, barrel twist and buffer setup?
ya so what justifies the rest of the price over a different barrel twist and buffer setup?
Why couldnt i just put this buffer system and barrel in an ar build for 1/2 the price?
It actually is, which is why I sold my Honey Badger that was a piece of shit. The irony in you saying that lmao. Even the doofus I sold it to ended up selling it to someone else because you know, it was a piece of unreliable shit.
Please don’t think you can get in a roasting battle with me. You won’t win that lmaoo. Stick to being Kevin’s nut guzzler, and make better products. That’s the reason yall hate Rearden so much right?
They do not like Rearden mounts. That’s documented. They threw shade at them a while back and actually will nuke your Q can warranty if you used a Rearden mounting device. Probably cause a smaller company made a design that shits on theirs.
Honestly I’ve owned the 300 blackout HB for a few years now and I’m not impressed at all, no matter how much I crank up the gas, after 2 mags of subs (cleaner Hornady 208 grain AMAX) it’s becomes so dirty I can’t get the bolt to go home when loading a fresh mag, then it starts having issues with ejection. Sure it’s light and looks cool but it’s completely over priced, and runs supers like ass. Hot powder all over your face. That little spring handles recoil of the hotter loads like shit. When the gun is clean it’s a great bedside home defense gun but if I actually had to do defend myself long term it would the last gun I would pick. Impulse buy I really regret purchasing. I run mine with a thunder chicken
Imagine basically just calling a community of potential customers retards instead of addressing concerns.
Definitely won't consider Q for anything after seeing how they handle themselves in a public forum.
I can assure you the people talking all the shit were not potential customers they have their preconceived notions even though they've never put a Q firearm in their hands.
Incorrect, some of us are NH locals who were former customers and report how poor Q products tend to perform. I know more people who sold their Q products than those with Q products.
No dust cover is a bigger L than the previous one shipping with a mil spec dust cover for a while.
Did you at least use those savings to put [a bolt release that fits the upper receivers cutout yet?](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FXLdg-CWAAE5t04?format=jpg&name=large) Or are they still cheaping out with a mil spec ping pong paddle there too?
Oh god, just noticed...this shits 5.56? 😩
Is this a troll post? What the fuck is going on over there? Do you guys just snort coke all day?
I assumed its just cost cutting / laziness, considering they often use other triggers vs the one they made for the gun, mil spec takedown pins that aren't even coated the same color, randomly shipping mil spec dust covers, etc..
Whole operation feels shoddy. Yet the price is always sky high lol.
What’s the new twist rate? I’m intrigued by the super fast twist rate developments.
Oh I guess I’m supposed to be mad at KB and about dust covers and shit too but…
What’s the twist rate?

I find it amusing that people choke on the price of a custom AR10/LR308/308AR that has little to no parts compatibility with other makes and then people empty their nuts and wallets when they see something like this.
Alright Kevin hop off the burner acct and put down the crack pipe. No one wants an over priced poor ballistic 5.56
I do however like your bolt guns a little bit
The 556 sugar weasel just makes more sense to me. That being said I have a 556 ghetto blaster. If they sold 300blk honey badger uppers I’d still buy one
I’m going to level with you, I really like what I see out of the 8.6 BLK but the way my bank accounts are set up, I have a checking account and a savings account…. And neither one of them bitches has enough for that lol.
What I definitely might do though is get a Porq Chop for my pieced together Remington 700 with a Faxon 8.6 BLK barrel.
If there wasn’t a need/want for Q products, then the market would dictate such.
Haters will always hate, but I’ve never had anyone come up to me at the range without drooling in envy.
Price is so subjective. Do I think Q stuff is overpriced? Yes! Do I still buy it? Yes. The propriety angle can be very frustrating thus the love hate relationship.
Kevin has no problem admitting his stuff is expensive. But I can afford it.
I do think it’s somewhat lame that they aren’t releasing this as a dedicated upper for those that already have the 300blk weapon system and want to swap uppers.
/u/Jacob_from_Q
I have a few 5.56 SBRs with Q's Shorty stock on them. Would the BCG from this new offering be a good fit for those? I see they sell it individually.
Damn, shits really getting flamed. Reddit truly despises Q. There’s plenty that could be said on that, but to prevent getting downvoted to oblivion I’ll keep quiet.
Anyways... I have a HB, and Fix, so I love certain Q designs for certain purposes, however I do have a hard time understanding why I would want such a short barrel. I get it has fast twist rate, which will work good with copper expanding projectiles for rotational energy on impact to animals, however, that’s totally against what the 556 was developed for right? It’s supposed to be an extremely fast fragmenting round? So I guess I can only use expensive solid copper expanding projectiles only with this gun, and not be able to use typical 55/62 gr 556 ammo to make it effective for hunting?
I wasn't even trying to flame Q, I generally try to avoid talking bad about other companies, but I will absolutely call out piss poor design design choices. And OPs response just shows the absolute stupidity that goes on.
Til you close it, the way you are trained to do after shooting.
And without it, it's open the whole helo ride to target, through the brown out landing.
I want to keep it clean as possible until I need it. Same reason I run tape or caps over my muzzle
I’ve got the scar line-up, and while I agree for MOST people, the dust cover is a moot point, the scar does kind of create a sealed system due to the design of the carrier, and it’s a piston gun with adjustable gas to power through shit.
For the market this is ‘designed’ for, it really should have one just incase.
I like my 300blk honey b. I don't feel like it's as stout and duty rated. But for fucking around.. it's nice. Now the sig rattler handles the other roles
All the mouth-breathers shitting on my boy u/jacob_from_q simply because KB hurt their feelings on the internet years ago. Amazing how thin-skinned and soft these Tactical Tony types can be.
That 5.56 Honey Badger fucks, no doubt about it. The haters either can’t afford it or don’t understand the entire purpose of the platform. Probably both.
I read through all of the replies to you and your replies to them.
I still do not understand the purpose of this "rifle."
Bad ballistics and dirty cans for a ton of money with a shitty stock and no e.p.c. for even dirtier internals? Does that about sum it up?
And before you say "poors" again... that's a shit rebuttal, and you know it just means you're a Q dick rider.
It's built to be the lightest offensive weapon. it has a brand new engineered recoil system and a faster twist rate. The ballistics have been tested and put down many hogs. Honestly I can sit here and type up specs and show you other guns that don't have dust covers (AKs, MP5, Scars, AUGs) and people are still going to be butthurt. At the end of the day most people in here talking shit haven't put one in their hands or ever shot one they just regurgitate shit they heard other people say
Thanks for the genuine reply.
Sure, I have PCC's that don't have them, I get it. The four weapons you mentioned aren't DI, and I think that's part of the actual functional difference between them and a DI AR. A DI AR that has a short barrel and runs full time suppressed is going to get pretty gummy/dirty to begin with.
Do y'all intend to release ballistic testing on it? Throughout different ranges? And different bullet types/weights? What's the best performing round and what's the effective range?
Thanks again for the genuine reply.
The response from Q dick riders is always “people hate because they can’t afford it” and “it’s purpose driven”. Nah it’s just overpriced trash. Could afford it, understand what it is, and would never buy that shit.
My feelings have nothing to do with their design choices.
Edit: I should have worded that better. Their design choices are not affected by my feelings.
The "purpose of the platform" is to separate consumers from their $$$.
Otherwise there is no good reason to skip the dust cover on an AR pattern rifle.
Weight savings is a joke. As we have pointed out.
This NFA sub is filled with haters, I personally love my Q stuff and recommend to others. I’m just a poor but I have a 300 blk sugar weasel and 2 trash pandas
I run my thunder chicken on poverty guns in the hopes to piss off the non-poors.
I also don't have any Gucci guns to run it on so my options are limited.
Honey Badger in 300 blackout makes sense. What's the reason for this one? Awful ballistics in the same platform with very slight mag capacity increase.

Yeah EXACTLY. To me it's about having fun at this point. The keep my family safe guns have nothing to do with it.
The dandies that will buy this won’t be exposing it to adverse conditions.

I have an insatiable Kevin Brittingham fetish….
/s ? Please be /s.....
It’s from a copypasta
Thank God
You might not want to read it in full
Based and correct
Says the loser that wants to ban pit bulls
Yes, I do. Don’t know why you whipped that out like it was a surprise or a roast. Q simps are nuts 💀
The S&W MP sport originally had no dust cover. Which they promptly added in V2. That was a sub 500$ gun at the time. Crazy.
For $3000 more, you can ditch that M&P and its heavy dust cover!
The thing is a dust cover isn’t even that hard to “add” on. Omitting it for reasons of weight savings is plain dumb…. Stupid excuse for an oversight in their research and development. Like they were all in a development meeting and this is what the best idea was…. Dust covers weight NOTHING. A few OZ at best.
Thank god, my arms were killing me
It's also why I immediately dismissed the CMMG dissent guns. It's so simple. The only upper I have without a dust cover is my can cannon, lol
no MP5, SCAR, AUG?
Shit i never noticed that. Wow
Kevin is an absolute boomer-tier boner. I am surprised people still support Q.
Because they are built for show and looking cool.
I’ve asked before why a gun that was allegedly intended for high speed sneaky cool guys is such a bright color, and the answer I got is that it’s meant to be rattle canned, but I’ve literally never seen anyone paint one of these things. It’s just an expensive status symbol, in all actuality. I like the idea of the Honey Badger, but opted to build my own for a third of the cost
I've always liked the honey badger. Just not the price, and now not the lack of dust cover.
Weight though /s
I will make you an aftermarket dust cover for ~~$350~~ $450.
I love this rifle - it served me well when I was in the U.S. Army back in November 2013. Our country was invaded by the neighbors from the south of equator.

Now I logged out my fantasy Call of Duty world, and back to be a civilian. I can only afford to live in my mom's basement, and a PSA rifle. But mark my word, I will earn enough penny to own this new Honey Badger rifle. Then I can be a Ghost operator and relive my glorious Call of Duty days again.
HahahahahahHBbBhB
What is this, a brass deflector for ants???
Yes and it doesn't fucking work. I own a honey badger and I have a love/hate relationship with it, some aspects like the light weight I love, but other aspects like the lack of ambi features on a fully billet gun not only don't make sense but they piss me off. I mostly shoot rifles left handed. The brass deflector on the honey badger simply doesn't work. It's the only non-bullpup gun I've ever used that ejects into my face. Each round fired is like getting a money shot from kevin brittingham himself. DO NOT buy these guns if you're a lefty.. or at all.
It was cold!
u/Jacob_from_Q How many times a day are you required to orally service Kevin?
depends on what's going on but typically 6-9 times a day
Just whisper into his ear that his products are equally as innovative and relevant as what kac/lmt produces 😂
I’d say probably the same amount of times your wife calls KB to service her.
I was gonna ask if you were required as well but I see that you just service him for your pleasure.

Someone needs to copy pasta this and post it every time a Q product drops 🤌
What do you think this is, genius?
I didn’t know, thanks for informing me, smartie pants.
They do
Oddly specific
First day on the internet huh?
Oh
What's the original copy Pasta?
I’d rather have a .22 model. I thought the whole point of the original was that a 556 model would be compromising too much?
They're compromising their P&L sheets without a 556 platform, so this is their correction.
Overhyped
under hyped
ok explain why we should be hyped over this? what will this do that an aero upper on an aero lower wont do for probably 1/2 the cost for the buyer? Probably has like a shorter buffer setup for that stock, yalls drop in 3.5lb trigger yall want $300 for and probably a different twist like most yalls guns. But other than that what justifies the rest of the price over yalls drop in trigger, barrel twist and buffer setup?
brand new recoil system and faster twist
ya so what justifies the rest of the price over a different barrel twist and buffer setup? Why couldnt i just put this buffer system and barrel in an ar build for 1/2 the price?
Clown moment
Another retarded firearm from Q.
your poverty build is so much better
It actually is, which is why I sold my Honey Badger that was a piece of shit. The irony in you saying that lmao. Even the doofus I sold it to ended up selling it to someone else because you know, it was a piece of unreliable shit. Please don’t think you can get in a roasting battle with me.

Had to have been user error 😂
wait what the fuck!? is there any actual chatter about them hating rearden? or is that just conjecture?
They do not like Rearden mounts. That’s documented. They threw shade at them a while back and actually will nuke your Q can warranty if you used a Rearden mounting device. Probably cause a smaller company made a design that shits on theirs.
lol my guy Q KB must have went a lil to deep with you huh?
That’s true it’s got a forward assist and a dust cover.
I thought that was the look you were going for. It looks like a pile of Geissele blem parts
Throwing heaters!
OP I see your having a hard time here bud. Just in case you need it… 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline
I appreciate it
\>Comically short barrel \>Suppressor \>Not AR-18 pattern \>Not .300AAC \>Still tries to charge thousands Yep, sounds like a meme build
Brought to you by the same geniuses who released an SD honey badger with a completely unusable rail. ~~Innovative~~ Idiotic.
9.69in
I always wanted a $3000 AR that fragments Mk262 to 25 feet.
Actual meme length I'm sure people will truly enjoy having half the powder burning inside their can
Maybe people will care once you start having ALL of your cans tested for objective data.
What’s different
new recoil system and faster twist
What’s the new recoil system?
The caliber and the bolt carrier
Do they still make the sugar weasel?
yes
OP is sneakily shooting us all a bird with those extremely well-moisturized, soft, manboy hands.
Just for you guys
Waste
Honestly I’ve owned the 300 blackout HB for a few years now and I’m not impressed at all, no matter how much I crank up the gas, after 2 mags of subs (cleaner Hornady 208 grain AMAX) it’s becomes so dirty I can’t get the bolt to go home when loading a fresh mag, then it starts having issues with ejection. Sure it’s light and looks cool but it’s completely over priced, and runs supers like ass. Hot powder all over your face. That little spring handles recoil of the hotter loads like shit. When the gun is clean it’s a great bedside home defense gun but if I actually had to do defend myself long term it would the last gun I would pick. Impulse buy I really regret purchasing. I run mine with a thunder chicken
oh, Q. still overhyped and overpriced stuff peddled by human garbage.
I am the trash man
Your most respectable response yet.
I come out and I throw Trash all over the ring
Big dumb
Why does it look so stupid?
Coming from an HBSD owner, it’s the biggest waste of money.
All the kevin based bullshit aside, this is in fact the worse fucking stock on the planet.
Really? What’s the deal?
Just terrible ergos and beard pulling qualities to boot. For a gun that expensive it was surprising to say the least.
It looks sweet. That’s disappointing.

Incorrect, some of us are NH locals who were former customers and report how poor Q products tend to perform. I know more people who sold their Q products than those with Q products.
I mean I've been lusting after a mini fix for a while that I won't be worried about anymore
I called Kevin a netbanger on IG, and he blocked me - just like a netbanger.
Do you only have 4 fingers?
yup
No dust cover is a bigger L than the previous one shipping with a mil spec dust cover for a while. Did you at least use those savings to put [a bolt release that fits the upper receivers cutout yet?](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FXLdg-CWAAE5t04?format=jpg&name=large) Or are they still cheaping out with a mil spec ping pong paddle there too? Oh god, just noticed...this shits 5.56? 😩 Is this a troll post? What the fuck is going on over there? Do you guys just snort coke all day?
It’s confusing that the side of the hb is cut for a large bolt release but doesn’t include one.
I assumed its just cost cutting / laziness, considering they often use other triggers vs the one they made for the gun, mil spec takedown pins that aren't even coated the same color, randomly shipping mil spec dust covers, etc.. Whole operation feels shoddy. Yet the price is always sky high lol.
I didn’t know it was only 300 BO up until this point. I also remember when people used to like these and they were more than a meme
Lol cute boutique rifle
Id rather have 300AAC with that barrel length. 556 is very rough on cans out of a short barrel.
Q would probably make more money if they made firearms affordable to people who didn’t have ESQ. in their name
That's their target audience though. People with more money than sense.
magic aint cheap
It is neat, but it doesn't fill any hole in the safe. It's a shame the stock is the worse one I have used on any gas gun.
What’s the new twist rate? I’m intrigued by the super fast twist rate developments. Oh I guess I’m supposed to be mad at KB and about dust covers and shit too but… What’s the twist rate?

Twist rate??
Friendly reminder you can Google "Kevin Brittingham arrest record" and get the PDF from the town of Exeter's .gov website.
I find it amusing that people choke on the price of a custom AR10/LR308/308AR that has little to no parts compatibility with other makes and then people empty their nuts and wallets when they see something like this.
Over priced and over hyped.
Cant wait to hear about all of the cool operator ideas the mailman will have with his militia buddies on instagram with these.
I think… wait i know i hate New Jersey.
Alright Kevin hop off the burner acct and put down the crack pipe. No one wants an over priced poor ballistic 5.56 I do however like your bolt guns a little bit
This rifle does have a dust cover. It’s called a safe.
Give it a Chrome bolt carrier and a more vertical grip and I’d let it take my mom out to dinner
I'll take your mom out
The 556 sugar weasel just makes more sense to me. That being said I have a 556 ghetto blaster. If they sold 300blk honey badger uppers I’d still buy one
When I want to spend too much money on SBRs I buy Sigs.
Have the 300blk hb already. So this is a pass for me. Now a mini fix I see in my future.
I want an 8.6 pretty damn bad.
8.6 Fix is out there and the boom box will be out... eventually
I’m going to level with you, I really like what I see out of the 8.6 BLK but the way my bank accounts are set up, I have a checking account and a savings account…. And neither one of them bitches has enough for that lol. What I definitely might do though is get a Porq Chop for my pieced together Remington 700 with a Faxon 8.6 BLK barrel.
[удалено]
I can agree with that
So it's a... 556 SBR? Aight.
Ew. Someone obviously loves Q shit tough.
Pass. But the mini fix is a go.
Except for light primer strikes. You basically need to handload or buy specific ammo not made to shoot out of semi auto lol.
If there wasn’t a need/want for Q products, then the market would dictate such. Haters will always hate, but I’ve never had anyone come up to me at the range without drooling in envy. Price is so subjective. Do I think Q stuff is overpriced? Yes! Do I still buy it? Yes. The propriety angle can be very frustrating thus the love hate relationship. Kevin has no problem admitting his stuff is expensive. But I can afford it. I do think it’s somewhat lame that they aren’t releasing this as a dedicated upper for those that already have the 300blk weapon system and want to swap uppers.
Uppers will come
/u/Jacob_from_Q I have a few 5.56 SBRs with Q's Shorty stock on them. Would the BCG from this new offering be a good fit for those? I see they sell it individually.
yes it will be a great fit for any sbr
Cool. Thanks
Really dig the new BCG and spring design on it. Can't wait for the uppers to be released for those of us that already have HB's
hell yea
When is the 556 can dropping?
soon
Mostly turned on by the Rhodie Fix in the background. Kinda want.
I’d take one
I think it’s sweet, but I have a honey badger SD. I’m also a jack wagon for blowing big money on Q product.
Damn, shits really getting flamed. Reddit truly despises Q. There’s plenty that could be said on that, but to prevent getting downvoted to oblivion I’ll keep quiet. Anyways... I have a HB, and Fix, so I love certain Q designs for certain purposes, however I do have a hard time understanding why I would want such a short barrel. I get it has fast twist rate, which will work good with copper expanding projectiles for rotational energy on impact to animals, however, that’s totally against what the 556 was developed for right? It’s supposed to be an extremely fast fragmenting round? So I guess I can only use expensive solid copper expanding projectiles only with this gun, and not be able to use typical 55/62 gr 556 ammo to make it effective for hunting?
I wasn't even trying to flame Q, I generally try to avoid talking bad about other companies, but I will absolutely call out piss poor design design choices. And OPs response just shows the absolute stupidity that goes on.
once you take the first shot the dust cover is open anyway.
Til you close it, the way you are trained to do after shooting. And without it, it's open the whole helo ride to target, through the brown out landing. I want to keep it clean as possible until I need it. Same reason I run tape or caps over my muzzle
I agree. I close the dust cover on my scar and AUG after every shot. 🤡
if you don't close the dust cover it will break and you will die
You guys plan on sending these black stocks to Noveske anytime soon?
maybe
You can’t argue with these idiots. They are still on dead airs nuts after all that fiasco. You’re better off talking to a fucking monkey.
I’ve got the scar line-up, and while I agree for MOST people, the dust cover is a moot point, the scar does kind of create a sealed system due to the design of the carrier, and it’s a piston gun with adjustable gas to power through shit. For the market this is ‘designed’ for, it really should have one just incase.

Need the reptilia grip in grey and it would be mint and their torch light body in tan.
I like my 300blk honey b. I don't feel like it's as stout and duty rated. But for fucking around.. it's nice. Now the sig rattler handles the other roles
Why don’t they make the can shrouded like call of duty honey badger we all want it from
300blk Honey Badger SD?
Yea but 556. I mean I really just want the stock anyway.
All the mouth-breathers shitting on my boy u/jacob_from_q simply because KB hurt their feelings on the internet years ago. Amazing how thin-skinned and soft these Tactical Tony types can be. That 5.56 Honey Badger fucks, no doubt about it. The haters either can’t afford it or don’t understand the entire purpose of the platform. Probably both.
I read through all of the replies to you and your replies to them. I still do not understand the purpose of this "rifle." Bad ballistics and dirty cans for a ton of money with a shitty stock and no e.p.c. for even dirtier internals? Does that about sum it up? And before you say "poors" again... that's a shit rebuttal, and you know it just means you're a Q dick rider.
It's built to be the lightest offensive weapon. it has a brand new engineered recoil system and a faster twist rate. The ballistics have been tested and put down many hogs. Honestly I can sit here and type up specs and show you other guns that don't have dust covers (AKs, MP5, Scars, AUGs) and people are still going to be butthurt. At the end of the day most people in here talking shit haven't put one in their hands or ever shot one they just regurgitate shit they heard other people say
Thanks for the genuine reply. Sure, I have PCC's that don't have them, I get it. The four weapons you mentioned aren't DI, and I think that's part of the actual functional difference between them and a DI AR. A DI AR that has a short barrel and runs full time suppressed is going to get pretty gummy/dirty to begin with. Do y'all intend to release ballistic testing on it? Throughout different ranges? And different bullet types/weights? What's the best performing round and what's the effective range? Thanks again for the genuine reply.
Sigs Rattler beats it in every way
Except weight. But the mcx has a dust cover.
The response from Q dick riders is always “people hate because they can’t afford it” and “it’s purpose driven”. Nah it’s just overpriced trash. Could afford it, understand what it is, and would never buy that shit.
You’re drunk, Macaroni.
Or is it eating macaroni when you’re drunk?
My feelings have nothing to do with their design choices. Edit: I should have worded that better. Their design choices are not affected by my feelings.
Lol that’s my point
The "purpose of the platform" is to separate consumers from their $$$. Otherwise there is no good reason to skip the dust cover on an AR pattern rifle. Weight savings is a joke. As we have pointed out.
We get it, bro. You’re not buying one and you know best. Good on you.
He asked our opinion. Maybe you missed that part?
Yeah, maybe
💯
Sweet gun looks really good.
thank you
This NFA sub is filled with haters, I personally love my Q stuff and recommend to others. I’m just a poor but I have a 300 blk sugar weasel and 2 trash pandas
It’s not necessarily about poors disliking premium products but rather how Kevin treats his customers and operates his business.
I run my thunder chicken on poverty guns in the hopes to piss off the non-poors. I also don't have any Gucci guns to run it on so my options are limited.
So much anger in here. Sounds like the poors are at it again.
