    I built up an x39 AR last summer. Tried unmodified AR mags and couldn't get it to run reliably. Went to XCR x39 mags, functioned perfectly. YMMV.

    My understanding is that x39 can feed from an unmodified AR mag, but if too many rounds are attempted, it will misfeed.
    However, with a 5 or 10 round limit, this is not an issue. Only 20 or more seems to be a problem.


    On a similar note, can a regular Stanag AR mag feed 5.45x39 ammo reliably.
    If so, that would be a nice option.
    XCR 10 round pistol mags work flawlessly for me. Any of the long curved body mags I've tried have had feeding issues.

    I'll edit this into my first post also.


    I would like to see a complete modular system.
    Also, both traditional and bullpup layouts, with many parts common to both layouts.
    Something that can be swapped around and customized, and that has a lot of parts already made.
    This obviously means using a lot of AR parts, but yet NOT an AR.

    *AR-15 fire control group (FCG) parts (trigger, safety, etc). These parts are common, cheap, reliable, and approved as not FA.
    *AR-15 barrel dimensions, but without barrel extension. Bolt head and barrel extension to have larger beefier lugs. Perhaps 3 lugs?
    *Bolt head to have a larger diameter head to allow for larger dia cartridge heads to be chambered.
    *Completely new bolt carrier, that cannot be deemed a "variant".
    *AR-15 pistol grip.


    *Short stroke gas system
    *Adjustable gas system
    *Recoil spring to telescope into rear of bolt carrier, to allow for a side folder or bullpup design
    *"Classic" wood (like AK-47 or VZ52/57), or modern Aluminum and polymer. Ability to swap parts back and forth.
    *Aluminum to have M-Lok mounts. Wood to be old-school.
    *


    Thoughts?

    Just a general thought, wouldn't this have to be almost exactly like the M+M to avoid a 2-3 year FRT hell?

    a counter recoil system as seen on the new AK 107 would be nice

    Keep it simple by using "off the shelf" components as much as possible, design a new bolt, carrier group, a set of receiver housing.

    Call it the CIR short for Canadian Indigenous Rifle.

    this is awesome
    The possession of arms is the distinction of a free man from a slave.
