Spectre Ballistics Light Practical Carbine - NR Receiver Set

[Grizzlypeg]

I would buy a receiver set and a couple of addition uppers, ban or no ban....

Same here.

I am also confused/unaware of what keeps the bolt carrier forward insuring the lugs remain locked... ??

You don't need a spring to keep the bolt locked. It's like a K31.

We don't release that kind of information. It's just a shorter bolt carrier with a bolt knob attachment, nothing special.

Drawings might have not been the best term.

I meant a rendering of what it'll look like...like the ones you posted of the receiver.

I'm really having a hard time envisioning how this is going to work if it's just a straight back and forth push/pull and no spring.

Like a K31 or Ross Rifle. Pull a knob back, push it forward.

OK... I think I understand.

Either way I'm in... curiosity's just got the best of me now

Yup, gotcha. So a very significant change from the current BCG then. The final push will actuate the lugs, and the initial pull will disengage them.

On the bright side, you can fully free-float the barrel and eke out a little bit more accuracy out of it.

Oh, and FWIW, the reason I asked about the pistol version is because of this little project:

Cool concept but would be classified as restricted. Need to maintain OAL for NR. Don’t want to give the horsemen any reason to reclassify this as restricted. That is the same reason no one wants someone to put a 16” barrel on one of the NR receiver sets out there.

Good to see some innovation, modular potential using readily available parts. Why not a spring like a buffer that locks the bolt forward similar to the POF straight pull? Just pull back and release, or possibly a pump action design. A straight pull or a pump is doable with AR parts.

I’m not familiar with those beyond a few minutes of googling, but what is there to stop the bolt from unlocking in your design if I were to drop it straight down on the buttstock?

Rearward thrust goes into the recesses on the barrel extension, which are perpendicular to the direction of thrust. The cam in the bolt carrier doesn't start unlocking the bolt until the bolt carrier has been moved a good deal rearwards. Off the top of my head, I'm pretty sure the firing pin on an AR-pattern rifle can't even protrude through the bolt face unless the locking lugs are fully engaged.

This is correct. Once the bolt is in battery the recoil spring is not required, and unless the bolt is in battery the firing pin will not strike the primer.

In terms of charging handles, have you considered something akin to the Lee-Enfield in relative position to the trigger?
Maybe a "Mad Minute" edition?

I would like to see a rendering and would also like to know the weight of an actual build. Will it actually be light or would it be the same weight as a comparable AR15/AR10?

 

[corro13]

Can't wait to see a finished product... definitely interested.

 

[Janeau]

Will buy it for sure. Want it for eventually convert my AR10 if sh it hit the fan..

This feels like giving up.....

I can think of a few potential export markets, if nothing else.

I can't wait to start a build on this platform. I like contingency plans.
