I think that the GBBR is on the crux of attaining that. I think that propane or green gas is a dead dog in this regard, CO2 is the way. It will mean lubrication, but a real AR requires that, so a GBBR should as well. And CO2 solves the problem of finding room for a propane bottle in your RAV or similar rig.
I will buy one when a decent CO2 version comes out that requires no upgrades, no mods and isn't going to run me $1250. I have no desire to spend the big $$$ on something that I know I'm not going to use. I would rather buy an ACOG. |
RA-tech is thinking of making GHK Mag conversion so it will take 12g CO2....probably they will design a CO2 in the end...if you seen gungas forum's bombardment of CO2 mag...you will know. Its like having all of the drugs addicts in Canada in one place demanding weed.
Also Mac lemme give you an advice. there won't be a Out of the box reliabile Magna GBBR Why?
*Inokatsu.. all they care was gloating their recievers,
*G&P wants to redefine what WA flooding variants as soon as they make a new design. (Honestly there's like 20+ WOC versions already)
*Prime..doesn't want to make a full set (even though they're only missing few parts - Out front end assembly, stock, grip, inner barrel. Im serious you could just get a firearm grip, outer barrel, front sight, gas tube, and stock and just buy a PDI barrel and there you go you got a Prime GBBR
*WA...Doesn't have problems why? because their laws made it that way. When you whine "my reciever cracked" they will say "Japanese rules states plastic reciever, and 134a gas only...bye"
*AGM...dude they don't cut corners they cut a city block. Theres so many problems Im so glad I didnt get it
*JG...plastic Reciever, pot metal bolt carriers.
and Mac the cheapest reliable GBBR price right now is around $1200
G&P Reciever $150 -> $400
Prime Lower Set $205
Prime Steel Barrel Extension: $36
RA-Tech NPAS complete bolt carrier $260
G&P Storm Grip or get a AR-15 for about $25
G&P M4 Carbine Plastic handguard Front set (comes with stock) $123
RA-Tech Hopup and Inner barrel $120
AR-15 Charging Handle (mod it) $40
Problems I could see:
**Depending on serial ## post 1500 will have lil or no wobbling, I do not recommand magic pin to do it as it will destroy your front pin slot (which I did to mine)
**Aluminium diecase reciever mind break in long run (mine broke after 5k)
If you want to solve the two problems add $400 and get a prime reciever. also you could use a ar-15 upper instead of spending $260USD to get an airsoft oversea (I know you don't need retailer but it still cost that much)
oh and btw thats what Im doing, I have dissassemble and reassemble my WOC once to every lil parts that is needed to build a GBBR from scratch. and Brownells how to build an AR-15 is my recommanded guide to:
Fix your GBBR
Build an GBBR from scratch
Im not joking the magna has about 10 less rention pins/screws/tabs/ parts than the Magna. The only thing brownells didnt tell you how to put was the auto searing part.
