New AR Upper Design. What Do You Think?

[garyindiane]

I had the chance to visit this company today thru my job.
They are going to start making AR uppers soon and they had what I thought was a pretty cool design and from their you tube video their price point seems close enough that I might be able to actually reach it.

Yeah he needs to work on his presentation but I like the product.

So what do you think?
Will it be the next big thing or big bust.

What would be the advantages of this over what we already have?

No real advantage over any other piston AR that I can think of.
Just another option.
I do like the ability to change barrels so easy.
And it looks cool

I think it has a cool factor but the durability has yet to be proven. I didn't get to watch the entire but I like the design for certain. It also appeared to break down easliy but I don't know much about the piston driven AR design so I can't compare and be fair.

I like. The fact you can get a 5.56 and 300BLK barrel for $1299 is a pretty good deal.

Side charging handles are pretty cool.

Upper contained recoil spring would allow the use of a side folding stock.

I bet the accuracy on these is going to suffer quite a bit.

I was luke warm to the concept until I saw how that barrel attached, then I felt like laughing. I don't really like screws holding together everything either.
