240 Patrol-SLR Conversion Kits (Ohio Ordnance Works)
Here’s what Ohio Ordnance Works has to say about the Patrol-SLR Conversion Kit:
The OOW 240P-SLR is a belt-fed, air cooled Rifle, capable of sustained and accurate fire while using a shorter and lighter barrel, M4 style collapsible stock, removable lightweight bipod and a foregrip due to the new bottom picatinny rail.
This conversion takes your standard “Bravo” configuration weighing in at 27.5 lbs. and an over all length of 49 inches. Bringing it down to 22.3 lbs. with an over all length of 41.25 inches.
MIL-STD 1913 Picatinny Rails on the top cover and at the 3,6, and 9 o’clock positions of the forend allow for the mounting of numerous accessories including laser devices, lights, night vision, thermal, day optics, and various foregrips and bipods.
The new shorter barrel features dimpling which reduces weight while increasing heat dissipation with no loss of strength or durability.
