Remington RAHG Spotted in the wild

Updated: January 9th, 2013

A keen eyed reader spotted the Remington Defense RAHG hadguard in a real life segment of a video promo for the upcoming Medal of Honor:War Fighter game.

Are far as I know, Remington has no plans to make this handguard available to consumers.

The full HoH:Warfighrer promo video is here (the handguard is can be seen at 1:09 and 1:43)…

[ Many thanks to Joseph for the tip. ]

MOH has gone a LONG way to make this game the most authentic Special Operations based game ever. With that said, they worked right along side active and retired Special Operations folks to get everything right. So, it is no surprise that the Remington RAHG is featured in a promo for the game. The title of the trailer is ST6 Combat Training. I guess I'm confused about this article a little bit.
As far as Remington not releasing the RAHG for commercial sales? What did you expect, Remington is one of the most anti American gun owner companies out there. Remington is the American HK.

  @FormerSFMedic This is just lame tacticool product placement, pure and simple.

  @FormerSFMedic I agree with you on every point. One would think actual DEVGRU members would have done a better job in consulting for this game though, but then again, you'd also think Richard Machowicz would object to the silly crap he's scripted to say and do on TV...

  @Anonymoose I'm sorry brother, I read my comment back to myself and just realized that, out of context, it sounds opposite of what I was trying to say. No disrespect to you. I respect your opinion
  but I think you may change your mind after I put the information out there.
  Last year some JSOC units began searching for a slick forend for their HK416's. They held a selection process and ultimately chose two systems. Delta went with the Geiselle forend and ST6 went with the Remington RAHG forend. The selection was made just recently and both of these units now accept their 416 orders with the new forends already installed. So, actually, the video is up to the minute on what these guys are actually using. If you think about it, showing these guys running the 416 with the HK quad rail would have shown a lack of authenticity. Again, no disrespect, just thought the story might change your mind.

  @Anonymoose Wouldn't be surprised if the DEVGRU members and Machowicz go along with the scripted silliness for OPSEC's sake, knowing what to get wrong and all that.
  Incidentally: According to this Kotaku article, "Mark Owen" was one of the consultants (through an intermediary company) without permission from the Pentagon for that either... though EA claims that they were never asked:
