Experience with the Microtech STG 556?

[Girodin]

I am considering buying one of these and was wondering if anyone has had experience with them? If so how would you rate its acuracy, reliability, etc?

I am aware of what the gun looks like and the fact that it is a bullpup and the arguements over bullpups. Im more interested in hearing about how this weapon preforms. Thanks.

I have one and posted a review over at http://thefiringline.com/. Cruise over there and do a search for MSAR-556. In a nutshell I like mine a lot.

Thanks. I guess not to many others have had a chance to shoot one. I wont lie, that is part of the reason I want. I like having some thing a little different than the rest of the crowd.

... I didnt get a chance to shoot one but I held one and it felt really good.

You probably already know this, but if you are in the market you might also want to check out the TPD AXR. Also an AUG clone, but takes AR mags.

I didn't happen to notice the ejection port on the MSAR; Does the brass hit you in the cheek on the AXR? It seems awfully close to your cheek/ eye? I think the AXR looks a little better and the fact that is accepts Ar magazines is a huge plus.

I haven't shot one yet. I've handled both. Here is a video of the AXR, I don't think brass will be an issue.

I think they look and feel great, but I'm sort of a trigger snob and I'm sort of set on AR mag changes, so I doubt I'll plunk down the coin for one.
