My friends had all laughed when I told them of my plans for this project but after shooting it for the first time, they were all singing a different tune. This carbine was well balanced, lightweight and accurate within close range. It was low recoiling so follow up shots were easy. And, it was much quieter than their AR’s. This gun was reliable, never making so much as a hiccup. The only issue I had was with the magazines. 10 round Colt mags were hard to come by, California remember(?), so options were limited. I bought 4 ASC mags from 9mmAR.com because they were reasonably priced. The problem with these mags was that they were too small, barely protruding from the magwell which didn’t leave much room for clearance and like most 10 round mags, would only fit 9.
