It’s a different way to achieve a significantly higher rate of fire.
It's called the fun factor, some will pay $300-400 to take an exotic car for a few laps, some will put big $ into a big a$$ 4x4, etc etc.. Cuz it puts a smile on your face.. And if we ever encounter Zombies it'll make short work of a herd.. ;-)

But sometimes you gotta pay a bit more to have more fun. Ask any hooker, she'll say the same thing
Thank you. Learned a lot, and still more to learn. Probably going to replace the punch kit I bought (at least the punches) as they seemed to mushroom the roll pins and will probably get the bev block ( I know, I know, you guys told me and I didn't listen) before my next build. Probably going to be a few weeks before I can break it in. But, I can now say, I have a unique firearm that is my concept and built by me.
Good for you Tanis. I hope you really enjoy it because you worked hard on it.
For sure! That’s a big part of the fun of ARs.
Final update. Finally got to the range today (between trips and this monsoon season we called May I wasn't able to go) and tested my rifle. At first it would not cycle .223 rounds. Would eject but wouldn't lock back on empty or pull a new round in. Switched to 5.56 and it cycled those just fine. Dialed down the gas block a bit but got impatient to test the Echo trigger. It worked, and it worked well! Its a learning curve to get a string going but when you do, man its fun! Here is a short video of about the 3rd mag I tried in echo mode.
I also sighted in my red dot but not my 45 degree offset sights. Didn't put much through it today, about 180ish rounds. Funny thing is after about 4 mags through it I could run .223. Didn't run too much, just about 5 rounds to see if it would cycle on semi-auto. Next weekend I intend to tweak the gas block a little more and play around with the different ammo. Will try to get my iron sights dialed in after all that fun.

lol thats due to the linear comp I used. All the gases and fire go out the front with none ported on the side. It actually works well to direct the sound forward instead of to the sides.
