Gee, scaled down .223 version of a FAL upper mated to a AR-15 clone lower. Yeah I would think it would be reliable.
Only problem is they built the rear sight into the receiver. Sure it won't break there- but neither can update it out of the stone age. No place for optics. Korea still uses 20 round mags? Why? Or are these just MP's or some other rear area types and not real infantry? |

Actually there are 2 threaded bushings in the top of the reciever. (You can see one in the photo just ahead of the bolt knob) It is a very simple matter to attach a weaver or picatinny rail and it works well. A true flattop would be better, but the Daewoo does have evolutionary potential. Overall, these are solid "soldier rifles". |

N. Korea is now blaming the United States for this skirmish.

I've never seen one mounted that high before. All the ones I've seen have been much lower and closer to the reciever. They allow the see "the sights through the dot sight" set up as the gooseneck mounts of a fixed handle AR-15. There is no reason that the rail can't extend over the hanguard as well. |

Had one for several years, but had to sell it for financial reasons, and wish I had it back. Very fine weapon, essentially combining the best of the AR, AK, and FN designs. The only lousy thing in the whole design is the fore end which is slippery as hell. If they'd used ribs, as in the M16A2, it would be a whole lot easier to control. Interestingly, The standard US GI .22LR conversion unit can be modified to work in the Daewoo, and does a very fine job.
Oh well, another good gun that got away. Story of my life. [:D] |
