HK G28E1 to be CSASS - stanc - 04-01-2016 "H&K’s entry for the Compact Semi-Automatic Sniper System (CSASS) program was selected earlier this week for procurement by the United States Army." http://soldiersystems.net/2016/03/31/rumor-has-it-hk-wins-csass/ http://www.defense.gov/News/Contracts/Contract-View/Article/710219 HK G28E1 to be CSASS - LR1955 - 04-01-2016 Still using 7.62 NATO. I am a bit surprised they would go through this without considering a 6.5 caliber such as the Creedmoor or Lapua given they are staying with a 7.62 length receiver. The M-110's I have experience with were the first issued and they were not real reliable. Since then I am sure there have been numerous fixes for things that never should have been allowed in the first place. Soon this Hk will push the longer and heavier M-110 out the door. Smaller and lighter usually renders longer and heavier extinct when it comes to military equipment. Now what someone needs to do is reduce the size and weight of those optics by half while retaining the same capabilities. LR55 HK G28E1 to be CSASS - stanc - 10-08-2016 Heckler & Koch is set to deliver an initial batch of 15 G28 rifles to the US Army for testing in the next couple of months. A spokesperson from HK told Shephard that the G28 – also known as the M110A – would likely end up with a different handguard, buttstock, pistol grip and trigger system among others, including potentially a different suppressor system to the OSS baffleless type one fitted now. It weighs 3.96kg and has a barrel length of 16.3 inches. The rifle can fire the same 10/20 round magazines made for the G28, HK417 and MR 7.62mm rifles and uses Schmidt & Bender 3.20x50 PMII Ultra Short Scope. https://www.shephardmedia.com/news/landwarfareintl/ausa-2016-csass-rifle-testing-due/
