The Theatre Entry Standard: Daniel Defense rail, LLMs, Grip Pods, ACOG and the SureFire flash hider nobody needed Elcan, LEI rails and the great A2 identity crisis The A3: new bodies, a free-floating handguard, and the HKey vs M-LOK confusion Project Grayburn, America’s calibre dilemma, and the case for sticking with the A3 Chapters: 00:24 The A1 02:09 The H&K A2 rebuild 06:05 A2 changes 10:45 Theatre Entry Standard versions 19:35 The A3 27:20 Project Grayburn Huge thanks to Patrol Base for lending me the G&G L85A3 replica.
