I've been researching uppers and decided to purchase a Sionics Patrol Rife I Upper:
http://sionicsweaponsystems.com/upper.html Not a common name in ARs but I've read several good reviews. I was considering a BCM mid length but like Sionics' 1:8 twist, medium/light profile, 41V50 barrel. They also Air-Gauge, Radiograph and MP Inspect each barrel (instead of HP testing). At $370 (which includes a Magpul MOE hand guard) I thought this was a great deal. I'm interested in seeing if anyone else has a Sionics and what their experiences have been. Thanks in advance. |

They are local to me here in Tucson. They make great ARs. I have one of the patrol rifles and it has performed very well, have over 700 rounds through it will zero problems. I would recommend. Thanks, Sanausol. My understanding of Sionics' "medium/light" profile barrel is that it's heavier than an A2 under the hand guard but lighter than a medium contour barrel...is that accurate? |

That is pretty accurate, I would say it is similar to a socom profile under the handguards but lighter past the gas block. I really like the profile on it actually, pretty light but seems like it could stand sustained fire pretty well. Great, that's what I thought...I also heard that it balances very well since the weight is more centered. |
