The original Honey Badger was developed at AAC by previous owner and Q Founder, Kevin Brittingham and his R&D team at the request of an elite US special operations group looking to replace their MP5-SD’s with an upgraded platform. This version is for the folks who asked for a 5.56 version of Q's signature rifle. Light, handy and ready for use with a suppressor. The Cerakote is applied by us, Freedom Trading in house then sent back to Q for Assembly and Test Firing.
