atek3 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=7&...93&t=511839 Seems to me that one of those plus a bipod and aftermarket trigger would be a very solid rifle for MOR/Tactical. Very accurate, takes AICS mags, uses interchangable parts with Rem 700, has very similar ergos to the AR-15, any ideas? Rebarrelling to 260 is easy. atek3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Sierpina Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Not a thing is wrong with a glue in. Some people like to be able to completely disassmble a gun. You can't do that with a glue in. Well, you can, then you have to glue it in again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin Orr Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Looks like it would work well to me. I see no great disadvantage to this rather than the AICS system and they look pretty nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merlin Orr Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I would suggest that the fact that the receiver has to be epoxied in is a definite negative compared to the AICS system. The AICS is pretty much a turn the two screws and shoot. Different barrels and different actions can be put in the stock with no changes or tuning. I like the looks of the system better than the AICS but IMO it appears to require a hell of a lot more work to get it shooting....? Am I missing something?

Am I missing something? from what I gather, putting in different actions might be tough, but putting in different barrels is apparently very straightforward. Basically you remove the handguard, install an action wrench, and unscrew the barrel. atek3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Sierpina Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 The system is made for a Remington 700 Short Action, or an action with a similar contour. Kevin McDonald emailed me that you can bolt it in, but, you need a circular recoil lug, ie precision ground washer. The highpower shooters just glue them in. Merlin, benchrest shooters use glue ins. They change barrels all the time, even during the matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M118LR Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I had a chance to play with one that a highpower shooter was selling. They look COOL, but like it was posted it has to be glued in. I myself would spend the money and go with the AICS. Just my 2 cents on the deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin Orr Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 The first time I ever set my Benny Barrelled Action in my AICS stock it shot .2s with the first load I tried in it. THe tuning consisted of twisting an allen wrench in two bolts till I had a little white under the thumbnail.... Benny said that looks good and away it went to shoot better than any gun I have ever built for myself... It's just so Damned Fugly..... I think I might just have to find myself one of those stocks and see for myself... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokshwn Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 On the same note check out the McRee system, about the same price as an AICS and can be had with a center section to take AICS mags. Tons of adjustability as well. http://www.mcreesprecision.net/mcreesprecision/index.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gose Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 If you're serious about MOR, why not just get a pump-action AR15? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgary Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I myself would spend the money and go with the AICS. I don't know nuthin' about the MAK, but I know that I have less than $2k in my AICS -- AICS stock (about $800) -- Rem-700 PSS 5R rifle, complete (Mike Rock 24" stainless barrel) (about $600) -- (sold off the synthetic stock... so net cost was about $100 less than that) -- Action work, cryo and blended muzzle brake done by JP, about $500 net result, a way-more-accurate-than-I-can-take-advantage-of rifle... for about $1800, plus glass. $.02 B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Sierpina Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 The MAK tubegun was devised as an alternative to the T2K, a more affordable option with similar ergonomics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Religious Shooter Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 The initial link is dead. Was the stock the same as the MAK repeater link? Anyways... I don't think the MAK Repeater has a manual safety. To me that's a deal breaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
