What:
The Windham Project is the new Windham Weaponry RMCS-4 which is a Multi Caliber System built on the AR-15 platform and designed after the MGI Hydra. The rifle is chambered in
- 1. 5.56×45/.223Remington Standard AR Mag)
- 2. .300 AAC Blackout (Standard AR mag)
- 3. 7.62×39 (using an AK Mag)
- 4. 9mm (Using a Colt SMG Mag
- 5. .22LR (Using the CMMG .22 Conversion kit)
The idea behind our project is to build out an AR-15 using the Windham Weaponry RMCS-4 as the base and build out the parts to make this rifle more rounded out by using various parts from the industry.
Who:
Outside of Windham Weaponry supplying the rifle, we have a few companies who have already sent us a piece for the review.
- · CAA – Flip up iron sights
- · CMMG – .22 Conversion with two (25) round mags
- · AXTS – Raptor Charging Handle, Talon Ambi Safety, and QD end plate
- · Federal Ammunition – American Eagle 9mm and American Eagle subsonic .300AAC Blackout
- · WMD Guns – *NEW* NiB BCG
- · Hogue Overmolded Lava Red Pistol Grip and 6-position rifle stock
Future Plans:
Future Plans: We will be reviewing this rifle over the course of one full year. In addition, we will review each new product sent to us separately in its own dedicated review, as well as collectively in the final overall #WindhamProject summary.
We are particularly interested in parts that fall under the RMCS-4 category and would be considered “stock parts,” such as the stock, pistol grip, BCGs, and similar components.
End Goal:
We truly appreciate the concept that Windham has created with this rifle, and we simply want to have fun exploring its potential. Ultimately, our goal is to build an AR platform capable of being chambered in as many calibers as possible, whether through a simple barrel swap or a complete upper receiver change (for example, a .50 BMG upper, a piston-based upper, or a pistol caliber setup beyond 9mm).
Windham has developed a versatile platform that we believe is ideal for anyone limited on space who would like to own multiple rifles but finds it impractical due to storage constraints. We aim to expand on that innovative idea and push its possibilities further.
