[QUOTE="sh00ter, post: 2821372, member: 24531"] The direct impingement gas system wasn't meant to be used in a carbine...if you want something with AK-like reliability in a carbine then get a Sig 556 swat patrol. If you still want the AR platform, then get a Sig 516...yes, these rifles will cost twice as much but for the reason you are undoubtedly buying it for, reliability is worth something vs something you can't stop and clean every few hundred rounds (high-maintenance). Something that will go bang for thousands of rounds without cleaning is better insurance; both of the rifles I mentioned above can do that. torture tests begin about 6min into the vid for those who r in a hurry [media=youtube]FQGTts7xyr8[/media] However, if I was going to try and get an off-the-shelf AR carbine in a low-mid price range, I'd probably be considering Windham Weaponry; Academy used to carry them for about 800sh bux.
