Have you lost your mind?
Liked: no AR pistols, so didn't need to throw up in my mouth when viewing the picture. Liked the retro-style irons-only guns - they're under-appreciated.
Disliked: No optics or lights. Lotta the guns don't even have sights, it seems? Also, why the **** would you ever move back?

Plan on getting laser eye surgery in the next year or so, want to see how that effects my astigmatism first. Combined with the major improvements seem to be related optics and I don't see the discounts like I do for the rifle parts on ar15 EE.
Miss my family, and I got friends who have no problem baby sitting non MD legal weapons.

Shot my AR pistol for the first time with the BCM Mod 0 on it....holy LOUD. And the fireballs....too much fun. For the XM177 guys, how do those compare to other short barreled ARs in terms of noise?

Nice kit
Finally built my AR15 prototype-ish rifle with the upper and lower I bought from Engage. Very cool that they were able to get a pencil barrel version ok'd due to the trigger charging handle.
It's not really a copy of anything since it's got a prototype upper, 601 lower and barrel, and the later black furniture. I'm very happy with how it came out.
Here it is with my A4 hbar:

The original AR15 prototypes had a trigger charging handle on top of the upper under the carry handle like the old AR10's. The standard AR charging handle was introduced with the first version of the m16 the Air Force adopted, the Colt 601.
I see why it was dropped almost immediately. It's neat, but not very ergonomic.

Oh understand now. I thought you meant the trigger in the lower acted as a charging handle somehow

I believe it was dropped because it got hot, could be wrong though.
I've heard the same. It makes sense considering it sits right above the gas tube and the metal is pretty thin.
Nice I went hog wild on Colts (2 vintage sporters and one new) need to post photos. Not sure why I bought so many but I liked the look of them and as a poor college student in the 90s I missed out on those sweet light grey Colts. Plus I am a sucker for A2 carry handle uppers.
