Old school piston AR - the Daewoo - pictures

[vit]

All this hype of piston AR's made me post this. Here is a rifle that was way ahead of it's time. The South Korean K2, mine is a Kimber imported AR100.
Yes, it even has a 1:7 twist barrel. Unfortunately, the post ban DR200 came with 1:12.
She is a pleasure to shoot, no "sproing" either.
Pitures:

It looks like a FAL...

 

[Scratchy]

Sweet
but don't tell everybody about these awesome rifles

 

[P.B.Walsh]

I think www.tacticalrifles.net has them.

I have owned a few Daewoo rifles and all of them were awesome.

SSSSHHHH! You'll let everyone know about them!

 

[P.B.Walsh]

oops, sorry for the faulty info.

 

[H2O MAN]

This one is available locally... what's involved with installing a PG, bayo lug and a folder?

 

[pearidge]

Had one shot very well, wish I had it back!

Even though it used a gas tube, the K1A1 was my favorite.

Secondary market. The prebans haven't been available since 89. Saw a couple sell on GunBroker around $1,300-1,400.

My only complaint about the design: You need a 4" long thumb to work the safety. BSW

I need one of these to go along with my Hyundai.

There is a fix for that, I may get one myself yet.

Do you have those pictures any larger?

What picture are you looking for?

 

[Kind of Blued]

So the "semi" setting is at 3:00, but where does the safety point for the "safe" setting?

 

[Dr.Rob]

Those are neat rifles but as I recall kind of heavy compared to an AR... those insides sure are shiny!

How's it shoot?

Note also: everyone of those bad hombre ROK troops has his finger on the trigger.

I also have a AR-100 marked Daewoo K2. Several different importers imported these and the designation changed every time the importers changed. The K2 design is known as the K2, the AR-100, and (IIRC) the Max-2.

Mine is a great shooter. I added a rail and an Eotech, although I'm probably going to dump the Eotech for an Aimpoint later.

A friend who was in the army and served in Korea, told me those Korean soldiers are hardcore! Looks a neat rifle in preban mode.
Thanks for sharing
