Title: Faxon Firearms ARAK-21
Post by: redryderbb on April 06, 2013, 11:18:08 PM
Me want!
Currently chambered in 5.56mm / .300 Blackout for this AR/AK style rifle.  I'll wait until they come out chambered in 7.62x51/.308.  Until then I'm going to just drool over it.
What do you guys think about this AR/AK design?  What would be the pros and cons?

Innovative!  With that comes cost unless/until widely adopted.  That and long term support.  We'll see what the market sayeth.

Thanks for posting it!

btw had to look that up.  now got to watch the vid over a couple times more :D
Involute
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

In the differential geometry of curves, an involute (also known as evolvent) is a curve obtained from another given curve by attaching an imaginary taut string to the given curve and tracing its free end as it is wound onto that given curve; or in reverse, unwound.

Curious to see who will be the first to own one here on 2aHawaii and post up their reviews and pics.  ;)
What really interests me about this design (similar to the SCAR17) is the charging handle design and location on rifle.

Pros: Charging handle is out of the way when using optics.
I'll think of other Pros or Cons.

Please post other Pros/Cons/Comments as you guys/gals may come up with any.  :shaka:
