SBR?...Nah..just go Bullpup! (My MSAR STG 556)

[Magiccarpetrides]

Pictures of my new MSAR....and an easy to see reason why bullpups have some serious advantages....keep in mind the ak in the picture is a sidefolder with a 16" barrel while the MSAR has a 20" barrel

Congrats! Did you get a knife with it?

No I got the cheap one...not the limited edition I think microtech knives are nice but I would never spend that much on one.

[LagerHead]

That's a pretty sweet rifle. I might have to keep that in mind when deciding what to buy this coming year. And while not black, it is sufficiently evil looking that I'm sure it's a lot of fun.

How does it shoot?

[MacGyver]

That's good looking!

[Magiccarpetrides]

Dont know yet, I got the tan because they didnt have the black available with a 20" barrel (and extra barrels are $500!). I havent got to shoot it yet, but its definitely a well built firearm...the barrel is vented/fluted, 4150 chrome lined, and has a 1/8 twist so it should be fairly accurate with good ammo. Surprisingly the trigger isnt too bad. I hope I like it since im selling my AK.

Nice score, Magic!

Be sure to give us a full range report, I've often milled over the SBR vs. Bullpup thing in my head.

[creeky]

I saw that CDNN was selling those for $999... can't wait for your range report. I've always liked the concept of the bullpup design.

You are right, I didn't even see him!

[Seaslug]

Sweet score, Magic! If I weren't in the process of building 2 SBR's right now, I'd be all over one of these babies. The recent price drop is nuts!

[Guest HexHead]

IF I get another .223, it's gonna be a bullpup for sure. I'm really leaning towards the Steyr, but if STGs keep getting blown out at $999, that's a hard deal to beat.

Yeah for the money I dont think you could do better...and its piston driven. The gun is extremely easy to break down and clean. Buds has the optic model for $1100 which is a pretty damn good deal, but I prefer the rail. Lol my cat does have a natural camo coat...check out the last picture on my 28-2 for sale ad....he blends right in.

how's the height/cheek weld with the acog? i'm going to run the same setup w/ my TA50R and ADM mount. i'm debating on getting the lower E4 rail mount so I can run AR height buis.

if you are intrested Titan Defense has Troy short flip up sights for $224. (.27" shorter than AR height sights)

[LA_357SIG]

got mine today.

[Guest cjr]

Both black and tan are cool,I think I may need a tan one

[jughead]

have had the priviledge of shooting 2 steyrs over the years. this old man was impressed. neither were FA but they were extremely accurate at least for me.

[Guest moreland281]

Rumor has it Styer is going to rerelease the Aug in the US (US Plant?)

[Magiccarpetrides]

got mine today.

Looks great I like the black a lot...when I ordered they only had the 20" barrel with the tan...but its not too bad either. I really like the ACOG's height on the stock rail...I think its about perfect for me. Since im using an ACOG im starting to think I really dont need Emergency sights since it has no batteries...i mean hell I would probably be a goner before the ACOG would be damaged to the point of not working

[Major Kong]

Did you buy locally or through Bud's? Who has the best prices locally? I'm really wanting one of these now and I like ordering from Bud's, but I'd like to fondle one first (in a purely plutonic way, of course).

[Magiccarpetrides]

Kong I ordered mine through CDNN and transferred through Gunnys in Maryville ($37 total)...however you could probably check through Tri-Cities as they have some personally and would probably be happy to get you one.

[Major Kong]

Thanks Magic, I ordered the non-optics version in OD Green (20" barrel) from Bud's and am transferring through Ensley's. $982 with free shipping was hard to beat. I'll hopefully be able to put up some gun porn by the end of the week...

[Smith]

Is there a way to use BUIS on these?

[Magiccarpetrides]

Kong thats a great deal and the 20" barrel is definitely the way to go. Smith yeah theres enough room on the rail for a BUIS if you get the non optics...if not the optics version has a BUIS built in on top.

I can't take a picture of a gun without my cat wondering into it. Must be a power thing with them
