MSAR STG 556
« on: March 21, 2008, 03:35:19 PM »
I'm sorry i cant give a range report on this rifle ,we have been to busy repairing it right out of the box.
This gun is an AUG clone ,and is being called the coolest new gun out there. NOT.
It may be if this company had used its head and addressed these issues before shoving it on the market.
My brother in law bought one ,then brought it to me after finding out the following problems.
1 - and this seems small until you have one of these it becomes a nightmare. on the right hand side of the receiver ,it has three lugs coming out horizontally about a 1/2 inch.
These are for mounting a 1913 rail that only they make.
These lugs use a rather large bolt ,a 12x24 , the number one problem is they are made into the receiver and go directly into the gas piston rod housing.
This company uses Helli coils for the threads ,and they ship the rifle with these holes wide open ,no plugs ,no screws to keep dirt form getting in there ,just three big HOLES!!
To the common man a 12x24 looks very close to a 1/4 x 20 ,so some people go try to buy a 1/4 x 20 plug and crack the receiver !!
Go to a hardware store and look at the trash for bolts or plugs you get for a 12 x 24 thread ? if you can even find it ,and why is the customer of this gun having to do this over a plug that would have cost MSAR an extra 30 cents ?
Also if you put the rail on the rifle and mount a flash light ,people are saying if you bump the light ,it breaks off the lugs ! and will not be covered as a repair and they will not send you a plug to cover up a weird thread hole.
2- they do not accept an AR mag ,or an AUG mag ,only a mag made by MSAR.
Totally expensive and not made for desert environments at all.
In this time i Command ,That you take the Secular to Jerusalem .
There you rid the Holy City of the Scourge of Islam , Make the streets run red with the Blood of those who wish to wash Israel and Christianity from the face of the Earth.
