Is there any word on if the stocks and barrels are compatable with the X7 if you remove them from your A-5?

I really would not like to have to buy an all new stock and all new barrels. I did not get to see the back shape for the stock to fit in on the X7, nor have I heard about the threading for the barrels, so I was just wondering if anyone else has yet?

The barrels are A-5 threaded. Early reports are "little" other compatibility. We shall see when things start arriving.

From what I can tell from the pictures, the X-7 endcap looks to be shaped differently than the A-5 endcap, which might mean that stocks won't fit, but we shall see shortly, I expect.

So is it fair to assume that the external selector e-grip will not be compatable with the A-5?

Or will they just come out with an A-5 version?
