The Sugar Weasel by Q LLC is essentially a more economical version of the renowned Honey Badger, offering much of the same performance at roughly half the price. The front of the Sugar Weasel is virtually identical to the Honey Badger and is optimized for use with a suppressor. The 7-inch stainless steel match-grade barrel maximizes the potential of the .300 Blackout cartridge, and the 1:5” twist rate is ideal for stabilizing heavy subsonic bullets for supreme accuracy at mid to long range. The Sugar Weasel is further enhanced for suppressed fire with an adjustable gas block to allow the rifle to be adapted for different ammunition types. The rear half of the Sugar Weasel differs significantly from the Honey Badger. This is most notable in the receiver: rather than a milled billet construction, the Sugar Weasel utilizes a forged receiver used by more common AR platforms. The stock has also been replaced with a more common MOE SL-K stock instead of the Honey Badger’s PDW-style stock, and can be replaced with the vast majority of AR-style stocks.
Other features of the Sugar Weasel include a remarkably compact, lightweight design. It measures in at a mere 25.75” with the stock fully extended, and weighs just under 5 lbs, making the Sugar Weasel roughly the same weight and overall length of a standard MP5. In terms of customization, the Sugar Weasel features a full length picatinny rail with more than enough space for optics, iron sights, and clip-on night vision/thermal devices, and M-LOK sections on the handguard allows for the use of lights, lasers, grips, and other accessories.
