Hey There Guys,
I went to my NFA dealer to pick up my Octane 9 HD and he had an AAC handi-rifle in stock. The first thing that struck me is how incredibly small it was. For reasons that are unclear to me, I had to have it. Short, fast handling. Bone simple. Whats not to like? He made me a good deal on the gun and the piston for the Octane 9 (it doesn't use the 9mm thread pitch). The trigger has no creep but is heavier than it needs to be. Stock is molded plastic. Parkerized finish, picatinny rail. Everything pretty much matte black. It dissasembles like a double barrel shotgun. Remove the handguard, and the pieces just fall apart. Broken down it would easily fit in a small pack. I threw an old aimpoint on it and took it for a test drive with subsonic remington ammo. All rounds went into a single hole at 25 yards. Didn't get to go out any farther than that.
The Octane 9 is a good can for the gun. It is light and quiet. Hearing safe indoors and hollywood quiet outside. I'm expecting an SDN6 in april so I'll use that when it arrives. That'll give me supersonic/suppressed capability.
Overall, I'd say this is an accurate, inexpensive rifle that would be ideally suited for a survival rifle, first centerfire rifle for a small statured person, or a very capable short/medium range hunting system. ANyone else have one?
