MDR was built to be a precision gun, which usually have a different requirement for reliability and maintenance

Yeah only real bad thing I've heard about the tavor/x95 is the trigger but i think geissele makes one

I think I might build another AR as well. I already have 3... but this one will be built strictly around being a reliable igloo stick.

Its not precision either. A 2 MOA gun according to most reports.

With a lot of guns, it's not so much that they're bad, as much as the ar-15 is good

I said built to be 😉

Incredibly good

I'm thinking... 18" barrel maybe. As I already have a 16" and 20"

13.9 p&w?

Eh 18 and 20 are so close together

^

I have a 11.5 as well. And a 7"

Nods

26" ar500 destroyer

X3

Well, the main thing is, my 20" is a thinner profile barrel. It's light, and really nice. But I'm thinking I was something with a little more beef for sustained fire.

Fightlite?

Just get an RPK or a M249 then

It's the 20" Faxon Gunner's Profile Barrel in 1:8

Fightlite would be cool if it cost half as much

Mmmm faxon makes me tingly

In a good or bad way?

Guud

I've bought a couple barrels from them.

Okay, good, lol.

They are my go-to for barrels.

Very good barrels for the price

I couldn’t get a dialed in handload that shot 1 MOA on the one I tried, and I haven’t given them another chance yet

Agreed. But yeah, it would be nice to get sub MOA of course. But I wanna build something that's just good for bad environements

My 16" faxon match barrel is about 0.8moa as long as you don't let it heat up

I mean they’re not mutually exclusive

Could do an m27iar inspired build, of course designing and building it better but with the same purpose

Binary trigger for shits and giggles

You mean the new standard infantry rifle 🤔

I'm not even sure. Is the IAR piston or normal gas?

Short stroke

Ahhh, got ya.

Short stroke piston is nice

I’m bout to snag a 416 upper kit

General idea is an intermediary between lmg's and regular rifles

Don’t get me started on how the IAR, while it’s a great rifle, it’s concept in the TO&E is nonsense
