MT Predator 2,294 Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 There are lots of rifles marked 5.56 NATO which are in fact chambered for .223 as well, mainly ARs. I don't know if you mean intentionally, or unintentionally, but I don't know that many manufacturers of complete ARs would mark a .223-chambered rifle as 5.56 NATO. On the other hand, when you buy a parts rifle there's absolutely no way to know. Usually Shrubmaster, DPMS, and CMMG are the 3 biggest culprits of this happening a few times. Stag has done it also..Yes, Bushhampster was one of them. I posted a chart in another thread that was compiled by someone who really knows ARs well. There were 5.56 marked rifles that had .223 chambers when actually measured. I'll try and find it when I get home. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ronswin 26 Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Rapid magazine changes can be accomplished with the AUG/ STG556 with some practice: And "weakhand" shooting can be done: 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
U.S. Pratorean 1,234 Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 In the process of working out a deal with trade for a microtech. I am going to go shoot it next week just to see how it feels. If it should be the rifle I want i am not concerned with the speed of reloading. Practice, practice, practice. Slow is fast, fast is slow. Just have to build some muscle memory and take it from there. I have an STG556 Geibersjager 1 of 500 and it is awesome. I switched the trigger group to the Ratworx hybrid FCG and it now is really awesome. The Ratworx FCG uses AR15 parts and it has a let off of about 2.5 lbs. Much more sensitive than standard AR triggers. Plus get the polymer ejector guard, it snaps on and off and will work right or left handed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SaigaNoobie 66 Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 With practice you can Rock-n-lock a full mag on a standard S-12. But with LESS practice, you can reload faster on other setups. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
breid1970 327 Posted May 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 While watching the video I observed the shooter firing left handed and the brass ejecting pretty much into his face. Im a left, that could easily be a deal breaker. Disregard my last statement. I just watched the video on how to convert it to left handed shooting. Deal breaker is officially gone.

You will also want to get the Manticore brass deflector and hybrid bolt also made with AR15 parts as well as the fire control pack. These really make these really smooth working guns. www.ratworxusa.com Quote Link to post Share on other sites
breid1970 327 Posted May 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Microtech is supposed to come out with the E4 varrient later this month that will accept all AR mags. However, I am guessing its going to go for 2500 plus. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
