I saw this a while back and posted it. IIRC the responses were that people use these mainly for 3 gun.

weird... how does that even work with DI?! im lost
That's what I thought..... I guess since the gas key is up higher in the receiver it's kinda blocked in the channel..... Still don't feel comfortable with it....

It's not even a good gamer gun. It's simply a Gucci gun, being different for the sake of being different. They are a big supporter of the Demolition Ranch youtube channel, so they get a lot of social media exposure. And people will buy them because it looked cool and some random dude said they were cool.

I can kinda see the lower. I'd probably run one of those. The upper however.... Negative.

Pfft that $100 in ammo yesterday was about all Im made of at the moment. Plus that thing is ghey. More @Laufen 's ITP style than mine.
I'm looking to build a lightweight, gay (pure function, no frills) AR in 5.56 pretty soon.

Sure it will. The gas tube will still go into the gas key the same way. The pressures inside the receiver aren't necessary for cycling the action.

If it was really about weight they could have machined away more material without making it look like the louvers of my air conditioner vents.
That's what I'm thinking. I wonder what it actually weighs? The ribs of the upper look much thicker than the sidewall of a standard upper receiver.
