Skeletonized Upper and Lower

[aandabooks]

Anyone have their PCC Glock Mag gun with a skeletonized upper and lower?  How does it work out for you?  Share some pics?

I don't have any first hand experience with a skeletonized PCC, but I do have first hand experience with case head separations in blowback PCCs. Personally I want as much containment as I can get, but the blowback receivers do look cool.

Skeletonized uppers look interesting, but there’s really nothing of use with them.  If you’re trying to save weight, do it with your barrel and handguard so that the swinging weight out front is decreased.

A couple of people down here have Lead Star PCC skeletonized rifles...  They like them...  Seem to be durable...  Only thing I've noticed is that they get really dirty, where a normal, closed upper wouldn't.

I’ve been hit in the face with unburnt powder shooting my pcc while shooting off my left shoulder, that’s the reason I use a 9mm dust cover with a debris shield

Hello: There are some Lead Star ones here also. They are heavy but look cool. The buffer can cause some problems but other than that they seem ok. Not something I would want since you have a chance of getting stuff going into the bolt area. Thanks, Eric

I have witnessed in a match, a skeletonized upper and lower catch a round that did not eject well and then tried to feed another round. The empty actually caught in one of the cutouts in the upper. It was a jam from hell. Cost the shooter major time. They look cool, but don't save that much weight.

Just saw the F1 Firearms / Quarter Circle 10 skeletonized PCC on TV and they said it weighs 6 lbs - my normal build PCC weighs 6.2 lbs

I don't think anyone ever claimed they were for weight reduction...

 

They look cool. That's why.

I worked mine down to 5 pounds 5.7 ounces with a skeletonized QC10. Didnt intend to get skeletonized but they only had that on black Friday. Seems to be working like a champ so far. Only issue I'm having is the ETS mags.
