| I'm looking for a rifle with the AK gas system and general reliability, but uses AR mags, AR safety/mag release/bolt release/bolt hold open/caliber. Good examples are the XCR, HK 416, and Daewoo DR 200. The problem with these is they're not really out yet, made by H&K and uber expensive, or way too rare. So, is there any alternative to get the best of both worlds? |
| Yeah but when you spend $900 for the piston and $1100 for the rifle it kinda defeats the purpose of not just buying another rifle. For that money I could just swap out BCGs every time it fouled rather than cleaning it. I was hoping for something more mainstream, too. The L-W pistons don't really belong in ARs, and aren't worth the money IMO. Am I just stuck waiting to see if the XCR will be good? |
Oh! I though you were looking for a nice plinker. If you are looking for the "ultimate rifle", the first thing you need to do is ditch the 5.56/.223 requirement. |
AR 180B sounds interesting. Some think it ugly but it's not that bad. Stick an ACE folder on it and thread it for a FH, and you got a pretty evil animal. Hell keep it long enough, somwhere around 17" use a clamp on Bayo lug for the light bbl AR and you even get a bayo. By the way, DR 200's are awesome, except for spare parts, but they don't really break anyway. Same deal -- ACE folder and FH and lug. EVIL city. Both use AR mags too. Just keep 'em high quality like the AR and your looking at 100% reliability too.
