I finally had a chance to fire a few magazines and get a cursory sight in done on the 5.56 Beryl. Trying out three different magazines, they all ran well. Probably going to put the factory optics rail on rifle and debating optics, but how it is right now will stay for about the first 500 rounds. The rifle is really smooth shooting, a little loud and flings the brass back to its motherland, chunks it far. I definitely think it’s a keeper. Few pics

I wasn't sure if a regular Bravo Optics mount would work or not. I'll probably go that route before I decide if I'm getting the factory rail or not. Just not sure if I'm a fan of the height of the factory rail. Thanks! |

Picked mine up a few weeks ago, very happy for the bayonet lug. Less happy that the Atlantic ones don’t come with the Fime triggers anymore. Have had the early handguard and rail for a while, picked up the Bonesteel folder since I missed the boat when the original folding stocks were around. Kinda like the old school Beryl setup; I might get the new stock eventually though. Attached File |

Sights are not canted. It has a bayonet lug but what bayonet fits? Also I need a clearing rod and I guess a cleaning kit for the buttstock trapdoor. Attached File |

I dug out the bayonet that came with my old Polish underfolder kit and fit just fine. The ring was a little tight so be careful installing/removing that you don’t stab yourself.

I was just about to order one of these until I saw this, at that price they should at least check for canted sights. Very disappointed in Atlantic. |

I was wondering the same thing! Do they weld the bayo lug on the OG post? The flash hider is pressed on, so replacing it would be a PITA. Edit to my earlier post: I secured the barrel in a vice and gave it some whacks with a dead blow hammer and checked the front sight with straight edges, and BAM! Straight. Easy fix. |

I wish Arms of America or Atlantic Firearms would chime in and let us know what is actually done to these when they are imported. I did some research and found pictures of military Beryl rifles with solid pins and also early IO import Archer rifles with solid pins so I am really curious what is going on. @Atlantic-Firearms |

Any idea why the front sight bases have roll pins now? The older imported guns seem to have had solid pins. |

Sorry we do not know but have seen both FB & WBP use roll pins from time to time. I do know that both AOA & Atlantic have indicated to both firms that we prefer the solid pins. |

Do you guys have any guns with the plain muzzle like the ones offered AOA? From what I understand that is the way they are imported? |

From what I understand that is the way they are imported? We do not currently have any with no muzzle device offered but the Beryl lineup will continue to evolve . |

Hey Atlantic Firearms do your current Beryl 5.56 rifles have the blacked out markings or are they white? Any chance you can post some pics of current guns? Also AOA is offering guns with no bayonet lug under a "blem" SKU for $100 less. Will you guys be doing anything similar? @ATLANTIC-FIREARMS |

All FB Beryl rifles produced for the last 1.5 - 2 years have the white markings they switched from engraving to laser etching and that was a factory choice. We do not currently have any blems for sale . Please let us know if you have any other questions .  Beryl Rifle |
