Just right carbine takedown version

[Deog]

now that I have played with this carbine for a while, thought I would give you my thoughts

Cons
Needs to shed some weight. Heavier then my colt or m and p AR
No attachment point for sling up front
Buttstock takedown T turn is plastic, should be milled aluminum or steel
Should use a standard California AR bullet button. Factory installed unit flat out sucks
Should have takedown pins as opposed to Allen head screws to separate upper and lower.
Takedown for cleaning, need to use a Allen key to separate upper and lower

Pros
Uses glock mags. Used Glock 26, 19, 17 and 18 no issues. Longer mags wiggle a bit, but was not a issue.
Eats any ammo I have fed it without a hiccup
Breaks down to fit in a backpack in 3 pieces in under 30 seconds. Assembles just as fast.

All in all, it's ok, but will not rave about it.
I feel the cx4 storm in a pistol caliber carbine is hard to beat.

Cheers.

Excellent! Thanks!

So, the barrel is held in place with a screw on forend and the buffer tube screws in and clamps to lock?

 

[Deog]

The handguard locks the barrel down when tightened. Loosen the t turn on the butt stock, 1/4 turn and the stock comes off with the spring and buffer.

The carbine with out a mag is 7.5 lbs. it works, just needs some refinement in design too make it better.

More cons:
Bolts shoot loose on receiver
Bolt hex bolt shoots loose

Clean and loctite!
