Reciprocating charging handles are AIDS.
Folding stocks really help when I’m shooting
The point of the AR-18 was to be the American AK. A conscript rifle for ostensibly friendly nations that didn’t have the means to forge aircraft aluminum but could work with stamped metal. I believe it would have gotten more traction had it not relied on its own magazine.
Otherwise it wasn’t the gun the AR-15 was.
It’s a charade. It’s boomercore. It’s the gun equivalent of Al Bundy bringing up his High School football days to teenagers.
The AR-18 action in itself isn’t bad, but it had its own flaws and hitherto HK has been the only ones able to make it work like it needs to and still be an AR.
I’m not even an HK fanboy but them is facts.
To each his own, but I find the many reciprocating charging handles to be ergonomically superior to the the contraption that is on the AR15. Also, folding stocks aren't for shooting, they're for storage and concealment. Somebody must like them as they are on just about every rifle/SMG that isn't an AR.
You may not, but for me, I see these as advantages.

You cannot be this boomer. I refuse to believe it.
Per reciprocating charging handles, if you catch a snag on a tough wait-a-minute vine or have to take a shot from a prone and flat angle that is awkward or catch some other snag then you are likely to have a bad afternoon.
Per folding stocks, a lot of the SMGs/Rifles you mention are foreign made with weird foreign ideas.
A collapsed AR stock is pretty short. So IÂ’m not seeing the benefit. And as for concealment...really? I donÂ’t see how you are doing secret squirrel stuff with an AR like you need some kind of MP5K briefcase to get work done. The Mk. 18 is pretty short minus suppressor.
IÂ’m simply not seeing these advantages.
I had a SG 553. It was EXCELLENT. I loved it. It was a unicorn. A dream gun. But when I realized I was shooting my Colt and not my “dream gun”, I found that I cared more about what I was trained on my entire adult life than a toy. A fun toy. A great toy. I saw to it that it went to a loving and appreciative home; but for me, it was a toy.
I donÂ’t ask for much out of my ARs other than they work. I only mention HK because I do have one. It has its pros and cons. Its not my bae but close.

I used to have a classic AR180. I loved it and it was reliable with good magazines but those were hard to find and expensive. Also no support so if it broke it might be a while. So as much as I did like it out the door it went eventually replaced by a Colt AR. I'm seriously thinking about one of these new BRN's, I like it and lower with a folding stock might be in order..

I'm Interested.
Piston, folding stock, a better charging handle with no brass deflector or forward assist needed. No buffer system. I like all of that.
It needs a light barrel, though.
It wont be as accurate as an AR15 upper. I do not need it to be.
