    Default Re: Compact MSR / carbine options?

    A lot of carbines are blowback hence higher recoil. The lightweight barrel AR rifles ie colt 6720 are really light with lightweight handguards.Very hard to beat weight wise.

    Did you try the AR with the stock set shorter ?


    Try a Colt 6720. Mine with ALG rails weights about nothing.

    Yes, I shortened the stock on one (Daniel Defence?) with 16" barrel and a long hand rail but it was still cumbersome. Even with shortened stock it felt as heavy as another one we tried at Huntex at a previous year and one or two others I played with. That is why I thought about a shortened barrel or maybe a bullpup configuration. A lighter rail will help as well.

    Maybe we should place some details for the OP.

    Short rifle description and weight with fully loaded mag.

    I would appreciate it but it would still be dead words on paper.

    Just like blink stefaans made up his mind to buy a Glock after he test fired it next to a CZ, there will come a time that we have to test fire some MSRs and carbines to know what we want.
