Congrats!
Mine is almost as short as my 10.5 SBR.  I've never had a single malfunction in any of these rifles and each is pushing the 1k round mark. I am leaning toward the STG556 as my fave right now.

I was so close and buying the FS2K. I went with the STG because for the price of the FS2K, I will pay for the STG, a decent optic, a few mags, and a sling.
Nice SBR AK-Joe! |

DO this to improve your trigger a LOT :
www.microtalk.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=176 and then I put a little bit of heavy gungrease on the trigger bar and where it rubs against the plastic and it helped a bit. The trigger is a LOT better now. Crisp release on the top of the pull, |

+1  Wish I wouldn't have spent my money this weekend a LMT upper, Ruger LCP and Kel-tec PF-9. Of course two of them are used as molds for making holsters, which will help me buy my STG-556 .

I just shot mine last night and realized another drawback aside from the trigger. The flash suppressor sucks!!! With Federal XM193A, the flash would sometimes be suppressed to a dull orange glow, but most of time, muzzle flash was like a strobe light. Anyone know of other flash suppressor options?

I like the Vortex (http://www.smithenterprise.com/products06.html).
I have two, one on an AK and the other on a M14. Already toying with pinning a Vortex on either a Steyr or a TPD due to Michigan law. |

Unless the Vortex is offered in 13x1 metric threading, you aren't going to be able to mount one. |

Yeah I definitely need something other than the stock flash suppressor. I feel like I'm in a disco shooting at night.

Do you have the old style tulip type or the new Jagdkommando style flash hider. The tulip type is discontinued, this is the new one.  Check this review, this is where this photo came from. www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=1&f=5&t=733464 |

I have the old tullip style and would like to get a new style too. Is there a way to get one?

Yup old school tulip. Here is a pic of a friend shooting my rifle. Mind you this is at ~7PM EST and there is still plenty of sun. Unacceptable. I may have to try the King Arms muzzle device since they offer it in M13.0 x 1.
