I have a 556 version that I shoot pretty regularly and it has been flawless. I bought a 300BLK but it isn't finished yet. I have an order in for the ARAK31 so I guess you could say I am a fan.

Love my ARAK-21, I would love to upgrade to the dual ejection since I only have right side. I currently have the 5.56/.223 singel barrel upper and i'm waiting on my 7.62x39mm BAU to come in. You won't be dissapointed.
62gr. 5.56 is ideal with the 1:8 twist, but 55 gr..223 works fine. Due to the gas piston, it is front heavy, so I recommend optics on the rear of the monolithic rail to balance out the weight. It shoots very smooth and counterbalances out recoil very well. Having the AK reliablility is awesome and maintenance is a breeze. I recommend a vertical or 45 degree foregrip to help support the front weight better depending on what assembly/build you're doing.

I had one for a few months and really enjoyed it. I had to sell it to pay bills... I had the 5.56 and 300blk. I had to over gas it to cycle some wolf ammo in -15 degree Fahrenheit weather last winter. put having the ability to feed it more gas was there so, non issue. It definitely is heavy though.

wow those all look really nice, yea i was aware of the front weight, I am running a magpul UBR stock so that may balance it out a bit.
And 908ss is that bullpup lower 3D printed or purchased, it looks almost like a tavor. Also with the 1/8 twist barrel will it still stabilize the 70-77 grain match ammunition, thats just about all i reload. i do plink with 55-62 grain but my current rifle in 1/7 does not like 55grain past 50 yards and one last question, how is the recoil impulse, i know the AR platform doesn't kick hard by any means but i was curios if it was a pretty flat shooting rifle with the piston and muzzle brake thank you guys for the replies! |

I haven't got my 7.62x39 BAU yet, Faxon has 12.5" and 16" medium barrel kits ready to ship though, just waiting on my tracking number.

im actually very interested in the 7.62x39 variant, i just had a question regarding steel cased ammunition, from what i've read it causes excessive throat and bore erosion, how well does your QPQ stand up to the ammunition, ive seen a report of barrels getting burnt out by 8,000-10,000 rounds with steel cased bimetal bullets.
is there any place to buy 7.62x39 brass? |

Our barrels are well in-line with industry norms. Attaching a specific number is difficult as it largely depends on type of rounds, frequency of shots, etc. 10,000 rounds for bi-metal bullets is fantastic for throat erosion. |

908ssp, you did a tremendous job from the looks of it! I'd love to see Faxon go ahead with a bullpup configuration.
Obviously bullpens have caught with many folks in the firearms community so I can't see how it wouldn't be a good deal for Faxon and us! What say you Faxon Firearms?! |

Mine took about 300 hundred rounds to properly break in. I was getting stovepipes with every magazine before that on every gas setting but closed. Now it runs like a dream.
