Bugsy732 1 Posted January 27, 2014 From recoil magazine: X Products advises they are working they are now working on the “ultimate skeletonized AR15.” It is currently specced with a skeletonized Detroit Gun Works reciever, Timney Skeletonized trigger and X Products skeletonized X-15. They’re planning to use a 14″ Fortis Rev Forend, Mission First Tactical Minimalist Stock and Jess James skeletonized pistol grip. The receiver weighs just 6.6 oz. As you can see, they are going for an “open” look. Seemingly obvious questions arise with regard to functionality in the face of detritus and weather, but there is no doubt it has aesthetic appeal. Asked why they would build such a thing, X Products responded with “Why not?” That seems as good an answer as any.

There is quite a bit of weight saved there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vlad G 345 Posted January 27, 2014 Hell no. That's an AD waiting to happen with the exposed trigger bits. In fact that pretty much an idiotic thing to do. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SgtToadette 59 Posted January 27, 2014 I think it would make a good wall hanger or instructional device, but beyond that it just seems stupid... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
High Exposure 5,667 Posted January 27, 2014 I concur. Hot garbage, unsafe garbage at that. Also, there is a point of diminishing returns with weight savings on rifles. At some point while becoming less fatiguing to carry, it becomes fatiguing to shoot. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bully 749 Posted January 28, 2014 Aesthetically, very cool. Practically... I don't think that's the point. It's a design exercise. Start looking at some of the "chopper" websites/blogs. Lots of that there. Glass oil tanks, Glass rocker boxes on "Shovel Head"s. All kind of useless nonsense. Looks super cool, though. And, if all else fails, remember "Hater's gonna hate!"
