Para TTR

Nothing special. Any AR can be shot with the same level of ease and accuracy. Its the shooter that makes the shot. On a side note, the sights appear to be YHM brand, the Phantom FH is far from the most effective option available, 1:9 twist does not offer the user the greatest versatility, and the C-more/C-less optic is crap. The folding stock is useful for confined spaces like vehicles and helicopters, on the range its useless. With a $2400 USD price tag, its over rated and over priced. Compared to a similar dressed Bushmaster, the TTR is a half pound heavier and $700 more.

How does this cycle round's if it has no buffer tube :confused:
Watched it multiple times and don't know how they did it but defenetly would like to try it.
 
Its gas piston operated under the handguards. The bolt/bolt carrier is shortened and only needs the length of the receiver to eject the spent casings.

I can't understand how you didn't pick up on how it operates, they show you right in the video. It's a long stroke piston with the recoil spring surrounding the piston. similar to M96, Swiss Arms, SIG 55x, etc.

It's nothing new. Is this not just a ZM rifle?
 
Looks like a piece of junk, like all Paras...pure crap. Overpriced pot metal. THe stock looks like it would rip your beard off with those recessed areas. The whole thing looks like a gimmicky garage backyard special.
 
What do you mean? A thread pops up about this about once a month. It's the old Z-M Weapons design, and it's NOT piston driven. I think it's been described as a "delayed gas impingement" or something similar.
 
It is an straight forward DI system - with an extended gas key to go over the gas tube, as well as a manifold in the gas block to increase the dwell time. Kinda like shoving a pigtail gas tube into the gas block. That's probably the reason it may shoot softer.

Obviously the gas block is more expensive to manufacture. My only disliking is the little c-clip thing near the gas block, that needs to come off during disassembling.

Ahh, I see. So when the round is shot the gas tube is a little shorter with a spring covering it. So one the gas is released the spring returns it into battery.
Thanx but I'll keep my big fat buffer spring any day.
 
Isn't it a little late for Z-M Weapons to be breaking into the main stream after the piston AR's has been developed? Is there even one thing about the Z-M that is better then piston?

10 years ago I was bugged eyed about the Z-M now, meh...:rolleyes:
 
wonder if it would still be classed as an ar variant...

Every other piston operated AR and DI AR is. Why would this be any different?

The only advantage this has over a DI AR is that cleaning would be much easier.
 
Crap. Stock DI Ar's have won wars plain and simple. Does the design have flaws? Yeah of course it does but come on people. This thing is cheesy and overpriced.....IMHO the words tactical and target rarely belong in the same sentence.

If it were like $900 then maybe I would get one to club baby seals with but that's it.
 
It looks OK but I would like to shoot it to pass final judgement on it. As stated above that little C clip that holds the recoil spring in would be a ##### to lose. Interesting concept if it was well executed by Para. I wonder why no other company bought the license to produce these? I would think about buying one if it were offered on the next Para CF appreciation run.
 
Wouldn't that be really front-heavy compared to a normal AR-15?

I'm not saying it's a bad design, I'm asking why it needs to be on an AR-15.

Build a rifle from the ground-up, Para!
