Hello gents,
With the crap hitting the fan on Jan 1 I am trying to build the rifle collection I thought I had years to create in a relatively short period of time. Since being introduced to this sport I always thought it'd be neat to have one of those DRD take down rifles, the ones where you can detach the barrel and hand guard with basically the release of a clamp (drdtactical.com). You can see these various DRD rifles in youtube videos.
However, these things aren't cheap, hell, the Kivaari (338 Lapua) is a cool 7k.
I recently saw from 'Cry Havoc Tactical' (honestly the names, its like 13 year old boys in charge of marketing) (http://www.cryhavoctac.com/) that they have developed some modification that can be added, it appears, to any AR-15 and effectively do the same thing as what the above break down rifles do. The mod is an easy $325 though some tooling is required (looks modest) and there look to be some limitations on barrel and handguard diameters.
I have heard no one comment on this QRB system. Anyone seen it?
If I go the Kivarri route I drop 7k .... (bear in mind that while this is clearly a nice rifle this is kind of a novelty buy) ... If I plan to install the ARB as a novelty an it works than this could be added to any rifle down the road, frees up that 7k, maybe I stockpile lowers instead BUT I am dealing with having to learn the install or ship out for it (added cost).
Im leaning towards the Kivaari just for fewer headaches. But what I am asking you is: 1) what would you do, 2) anyone have ANY experience with this QRB? 3) anyone here fire any of the DRDs?
Maybe I should just forget the whole novelty and make life easier.
THanks for your time sorry for the long post.
