Well all i can tell you is its hard as hell to wipe the grin off my face when im shooting it.
It has some drawbacks, think of your AR going off 8 inches in front of your face its loud as @#$* and you get some blowback from the charging handle area. They also run dirty i think it has to do with the pistol gas tube and over pressure.

If you are thinking of building one then do it in 300AAC and have your mind set on 100 yard shots, it is fairly accurate at 100 for such a short weapon and will be ok at 300 yards but anything over that i would not even try to hit.

Mine is not scoped it now has a cheap red dot that i wanted to test out and see if it would work for me and my bifocals and it works great.
If things work out this year this $500 toy will be a $5000 toy i am thinking suppressed and thermal that is what i had in mind when i built it just need the $ and a tax stamp to finish it.
