Only export for a rail. ( Unless for E Cat)

[300CALMAN]

Hi Koshogi, interesting conversation. Last export from the US for gun parts cost me $250. is this different for rails? Or did you get it with a pile of other stuff.

Brownells only charge $10 or 3% of the order.

Anybody have a carbon fiber AR ? Bad ? good ? any difference in performance or handling ?

Seriously looking at the moment

falls apart

I held one. Felt like a toy. Don't know why but it felt wrong. Sort of on topic I weighed my AR with a heavy suppressor and it was 30 grams heavier than my .270, yet people say they're heavy bloody things

It's the density


I'd avoid non-traditional materials used for upper/lower like the plague considering the track record 100% of them have for breaking eventually

[redbang]

I'm not being smart, merely looking for good info ☺
What breaks ? and when you say 'eventually' what governs that ? Poor handling, bits break off, round count, can you be more specific ☺

[gimp]

all of the above really

Lighter if that is useful to you, but then things like skinny barrels should also be fitted i would think. They are supposed to be less durable but replacing the upper or lower is quite a cheap exercise about $150 each from brownells.

Anyone actually used one or own one ?

I have a carbon 15 and have never had an issue. They dont rust, very light which means i can carry more ammo. The down side is they feel so light that u do feel like ur holding a toy at times.
