It’s a well known fact (to people that know me) that I’ve fallen away from the AR platform ever since I picked up my first SiG-556 nearly 5 years ago.
I can't really explain why but I've decided to see if I couldn’t make an AR more loveable again.
I started with a PWA carbine I’ve had for a number of years. I added a Osprey Defense piston kit which I've put about 900 rounds through and not having any carrier tilt problems, at least nothing showing in the receiver extension. The self-cleaning piston system only added about 3oz in weight and I decided this was good.
Wanting a better trigger I went with the RRA 2-stage, smooth and light, this was good … but it still rattled like an AR, mostly the collapsable stock.
I went with Magpul … I’ve already got a few of their other stocks and have been very happy with them so I decided on the UBR. Its quite a bit heavier than I expected, must be around 2 pounds. I’m hoping it will light the flame as I’m getting tired of spending money on this (now) 8.5 pound pig … maybe slim her down with an SBR? Damb these Barbie guns!
She started out as a KISS gun ... I seem to be straying from that but not too much!
