The ZM Weapons system definitely dumps the buffer tube, and I know that someone made a gas piston version but I can't reference it cause I forgot who did it.

If I remember, a company called Rhino once advertised a conversion unit that replaced the front sight base, gas tube, and carrier key with an FAL style gas piston setup.

Look Into an AR-180. I don't know too much about them...But I've heard that they're supposed to be stoners far better and improved design which no one picked up, because they were all caught up in the AR-15.

Quoted: If I remember, a company called Rhino once advertised a conversion unit that replaced the front sight base, gas tube, and carrier key with an FAL style gas piston setup. I knew it would pay off. I keep old magazines and I remembered one that had an article on the Rhino Gas System. Here a good picture showing parts: [img]http://www.gunsnet.net/album/data/500/18991Rhino.jpg[/img] |

Rhino has been out of business for years. In fact, I think they went out of business back in 1989 or 90. The company came back as Shooter's Supply Inc, then they went under after the ATF raided them for possible connection to the Branch Davidians. It might be worth remanufacturing. Over the years, I've seen a few, but very rare to come by. |

[b]Stoner DID NOT design the AR-18/AR-180. Those rifles were designed by Art Miller.[/b] However, "Lockedon" is correct regarding the better gas system used by the AR-18/AR-180. In fact, ArmaLite's current AR-15 offerings (the M15A2, M15A4, etc.) borrow heavily from the AR-18/AR-180 gas system. (Probably I shouldn't post this info due to competitive reasons but it is true none the less. From ArmaLite's President: "I figured ArmaLite knew a heckuva lot more by the time they designed the AR-18/AR-180 !!") |

[img]http://www.olyarms.com/images/oa93pt.jpg[/img] Olympic overhead recoil system used on all "OA" models (this is the OA93-PT). Spring/operating rod in the tube above the barrel and side charging handle. No buffer tube. You can buy just the upper.
Here's what it looks like with the stock detached. (postban legal) [img]http://www.olyarms.com/images/oa93ptstockattached.jpg[/img] |

Todd (ick) Bailey is designing a G36 style gas system for the AR15. I believe his website is www.hk-54.com.

Quoted: SHRIKE.......get in line Let's see, when was the SHRIKE due to ship ?? Was it March, April.............?? I almost always say adults can spend their money in any manner. However, when this garbage deal was posted I strongly advised against falling for this deal. [b]IMHO what SHRIKE management did was to raise venture capital without an SEC approved offering memorandum and, if correct, that is NOT legal.[/b] Hope this deal eventually turns out alright for our members who contributed. If not, I believe you'll have a pretty fair basis for suit. |
