My worst build result ever...
Well, I love the AR. I also love the AK for what it is.
I have been less than in love with 7.62x39 ARs, and not entirely happy with the result of 300BO ARs.
The closest I have come to loving a hybrid, for lack of a better word, is a SIG556R.
I decided to try a mutant type gun.
I ordered this.
And this.
When they came, I put them together (not really a build, but work with me), threw on some cheap BUIS and a fastfire.
Then experienced complete, and partial FTextract. Failures to eject. fTF.
I tired seven different versions of Wolf, Tula, Red Army, etc. ammo.
I used my beloved no rib Chinese mags. Ribbed and non ribbed European mags. Tapco. A drum. Two generations of Magpul mags. These mags, even the tapcos, all work in a mak90, OPAP, couple of NPAPs, a SAR, and even an SKS-M that takes AK mags. And the 556R.
Out of 140 rounds I got five in a row once from a second gen Magpul mag. Three in a row twice from a Chinese mag. The rest was singles and some doubles as I did mag and ammo combos.
More lube, clean and lube, inspect, more lube, inspect-
I can’t find anything specific wrong. So, my contact to customer service has gone in.
If it was functioning great I would say it needs a BHO/BR and a left side charging handle, and that I love the AR grip/selector ergonomics and the large paddle release Vs the typical AK paddle release.
My plans to rub noses of my 300AAC loving buddies, and 7.62x39 AR mag guns buddies, who love rubbing my nose in 5.45x39 ARs, is all coming off the tracks.
