Arak 21

[Dirtball]

I have 3 di ARs and was thinking of dumping one for a piston gun, a Ruger to be precise. How ever last night a came across a never before seen new piston design that does not use a buffer or spring so I can fold a AR stock. Rainer Arms has a combo for $1,400 that has a 5.56 and 300black barrel and oprod that really really has my interest. Anyone shoot/own/ seen one in person before?

I see a modified lower with a wire style AMD folding stock AR. This could be a really neat custom project so nobody **** on my dream and tell me it's crap. But tell the truth if it is. From what I have found it's all aluminum and hardened steel, no poly parts.

That rare huh? Guess I may have to go into this blind. It's new and new has bugs but I might just have to give it a rip.

Looks pretty cool. FAXON ARAK 21 - Piston Driven Upper Demonstration / Review - YouTube. It looks as if they took some of the features of the ACR. Such as the way the barrel comes out.
I owned an ACR Enhanced at one time, and I thought it was front end heavy and did not balance well, this may be the same for this weapon system. With a beefed up upper.
If you do get one, you'll have to let us know.

Almost pulled the trigger on one a month ago. They looked pretty sweet.

Great design. I can not remember the name of the company that makes the folding stock adapter but it also works with regular ARs.

Law Tactical LLC makes the buttstock adapter that you are looking for. Law Tactical LLC

I think this adapter from ACE would also do the job, but at a much lower cost.

By far my favorite AR Upper Receiver. After I get out of Basic and AIT, I will probably purchase one. My decision though rests on, which barrel? .223 or .300 blackout...

Both?

Actually you can get either a 16" barrel or a 20". For the .300 BLK, I would go with the shorter barrel. Use a longer barrel in .223 Rem

Now when are they going to have a 6.5 Grendel barrel?

What a well thought out rifle.

Pricey?

 

[spectre327]

$1450 is definitely pricey but that includes the receiver and both barrels

I e-mailed them about this very thing this week and Bob replied back (within 2 days) that they are working on different calibers for release next year. I told him to put me down for a Grendel rig!
