So I've been looking at something in 5.56 for my next rifle purchase. I've been looking at something in the AR-15 family, probably a Rock River in a flattop configuration with a collapsable stock.
After reading about the advantages of DSA's Gas Trap Carbine, and knowing that I won't be able to afford one, what do ya'll think about a 180B?
Pros:
-Like the Gas Trap Carbine, the 180B has a short pistol gas system which is theoretically cleaner in operation
-Uses widely available AR-15 magazines
-It's actually cheaper than an AR-15
Cons:
-Loses the capability of changing to uppers in different calibrations.
That's all I can think of off the top of my head. Any other pros and cons?
