THOR's Hammer

I received the following email from THOR Global Defense Group:

I just added some great new photos of the XM408 rifle to our website, you can view the link here:
Please feel free to distribute these as you need in print or on your website; contact me if you have any questions or need more information on the XM rifle
Well, you know me.  I'd seen a magazine review that only mentioned "official" use. So I sent the following reply:
Is it available to the civilian market?

And heard immediately back from them:
These are now commercially available, let me know if I can assist you with one!
Well, yeah,with the paying part would be nice...

Some day.  The last time Sweetie came home with a lottery ticket, I told her all she's gotta do is get six lousy numbers and she can't even do that right (Owww...).  So I'm counting on this ticket I bought at the NRA Annual Meeting to show her how someone who really knows what he's doing gets things done:

  1. I checked the prices, which of course means I can't afford one.

  2. Gee. The U.S. distributor has a "lowest price" guarantee at $11,495 plus shipping. Gun Broker lists a sweet looking one with Dark Earth Cerakote finish at $12,500. The silencer goes for $2,250.

    Santa Claus, I have been reallllly good....

  3. David, you're doing it wrong. Email them back and tell them you need one XM408 with mounted optics to review + 100 rounds of ammo. Oh, and don't forget the suppressor.

    That way, at least you get to shoot it. :-)

  4. Maybe I can become a dealer. Think I could talk them out of a demo? You know, so I can sell them to the area PD's. Of course to properly demo them I'll need a good supply of ammo.
