At least it’s a really cool AR, love seeing new content misha, thanks for the knowledge
Not sure if that's any better than just removing the upper on a regular ar15
Love the shirt! Mine says, I'm not a case, and I don't need management.
Legend has it Misha has at least 100 Arsenal in the configuration of 104UR, 104FR, 106UR, 106FR, 107FR, 107UR, Arsenal Izmash, Vepr 12, Saiga 12, Vepr RPK, Vepr 7.62, Every Norinco AK, Maadi AK, Polish Ak, and Every Russian AK in his safe with two warehouses of 5.45, 5.56, 7.62X39 ammo with pallets of Bakelite mags he built up over the years with a few ARs. Good review.
id be interested in seeing an update for that Israeli .22. I will say, I must be in one of the more advanced stages of gun autism when I deduced that it was Israeli before you said it was. The FAL grip and K98 front sight hood was a bit too much of a mashup to be anyone elses.
That’s a good-looking handle.
I wanted to get one of these when they came out, they sold out pretty quickly and Midwest never made more. And then they discontinued the rails at the same time, and they are basically impossible to find now, especially the 7-sided M-Lok interrupted top rail version (they also made a version where 4 sides are just vents, but looks like M-Lok). Midwest did a good job cloning these, but did not get everything perfect. The correct rear sight is the MBUS Pro LR, not the regular MBUS Pro, the ambi safety should be a Colt/Schmid, and the Cry Havoc should be the two pin version. I have also seen people speculate they are BCM barrels, but I have never seen any confirmation of what was used, a few people have said they even used nitride barrels.
I ended up building one using a new gen 4 Midwest rail, they make one that is 95% identical to the Gen 3, but with an uninterrupted top rail (although there are some pictures of Air Force ones built with uninterrupted top rails). The problem with the new MI rails is that you have to chop the anti rotation tabs off to fit the Cry Havoc QRB. Overall, it's probably one of my favorite AR's, a very nice, compact setup.
I built something similar. It is a 12.5" barrel (SBR'd) using the Dolos quick release barrel system. A very compact system.
I wish it was still made or at least the upper
I always thought these were awesome. It inspired me to make the smallest AR I could while still have a 16 inch barrel. I had a short grip and very minimal stock, p&w and folding sights. Very slim gun.
Thanks for the vid. Well presented. I have been curious for a while about these.
Do they put a suppressor in the kit?
Instant thumbs up for young Misha.
Nice info and presentation as always. Pretty neat weapon system for a situational specific purpose. Good day to ya Misha, be well, shoot str8….
Amazing Rifle 😀😀😀🇺🇸😎 Thanks Misha and Mrs Peanut 😊
Why did the Air Force go to the trouble of making a detachable foreend when it h gun could instead be stored in upper and lower configuration in the case?
Looks good
