I call it the CarbonMax CM-1, my first generation composite rifle based around Eugene Stoners operating system in a full length upper (from buffer system to handguard). Press molded prepreg composites, bonded in assembly with 7000 series aluminum on wear surfaces with titanium accoutrements. Production build #0000 shown in raw.

Now tested with the Super Safety.

that's awesome to see running. Do you think you would revise the duty cycles and heat limitations you mentioned in the comments of the other post?

I do see the duty cycle being updated but not to such a significant degree that it would change the use case of the rifle. I can still mag dump a load out, not an ammo can. I can shoot an ammo can in an afternoon of shooting and not over-temp the gun, but I am taking breaks to replace targets, load mags etc...
