Templar Consulting FastRail

Now I don’t want to mislead any of you; there is no claim that switching out barrels is something that could be done easily in the field. You need the barrel nut wrench and the included (but not present in photos) torx and allen wrenches – and as always, I recommend using a proper vise set up for your upper as well as torque wrenches for a proper installation. However, the barrel nuts and their wrench are designed so that the gas tube can remain in place during assembly/disassembly. When you are familiar with the process, the barrel switch out goes pretty quickly.

The FastRail allows many of us who operate on a tight budget, to basically have two rifles in one. Beyond this selling point, the rail itself is designed well. It comes with a removable sling swivel stud along the front of the bottom rail, and has four limited rotation QD sockets – two forward and two aft – on both side rails.

I’ve had a dance with Bob Reynolds’ full-automatic .50 Beowulf PDW before, and have the bruises to show for it, so my excitement was mixed with a desire to buy aspirin when he invited me to test his newest creation, the Templar Custom Multi-Caliber Weapons System (MCWS).

The goal of the MCWS was simple; create an accurate AR-platform rifle that allows the user to quickly switch between three calibers for different requirements.

Some of you may have seen me shoot Bob’s six-pound full-auto 50 Beowulf last year on YouTube. It is a monster, to put it mildly, as you might expect from a rifle that is more or less the equivalent of a .45/70 machine gun fired out of a package that weighs about half as much as a Thompson SMG. Why fire a 50 Beowulf with a 12.5″ barrel on full auto? Sir, I submit to you that the answer is “Why not?”
