That’s a better and cheaper way to go than completely replacing it.
And it works.”
GOOGLE Daiwoo DR200 rifle.
Now, GOOGLE Daiwoo DR300 rifle.
The DR200 is 1.5 MOA, uses AR parts in the trigger assembly, and is hands down superior to the 'Matty Matell' foisted on our Vietnam infantry and its assorted, sordid bastard offspring toted by today's American soldiers.
That South Korea could produce a superior rifle should embarrass all Americans. Were Sam Colt to be revived and brought to a Colt Board Meeting, the board members better be wearing armor.
Col. Hackworth blew the whistle on the Matty Matell during the Vietnam War. His fellow officers at the Pentagon told him to “Shut up and buy Colt Industries stock.” What John Moses Browning would say about the AR series would be most interesting - probably obscene, but inlightening, none the less.
RE South Korea Daiwoo:
“...That South Korea could produce a superior rifle should embarrass all Americans...”
Oh, I don’t know... there’s something about a fat little psychopath with a bad hairdo sitting across the border from you and threatening to invade and kill that sorta ... PROMPTS one to develop a really good battle rifle. I’d kind of expect them to come up with something decent.
“...What John Moses Browning would say about the AR series would be most interesting - probably obscene, but inlightening, none the less...”
It would be colorful, for sure...
Thing is, Gene Stoner MADE a piston drive prior to the AR - the M63 Stoner (Robinson Arms M96 is a descendent, unless I’m wrong.)
Never fired one, but people who have told me it’s a fine firearm.
