All this talk of different systems reminds me of my Colt factory armorer instructor when he discussed mods to rifles.
He basically said if you change one thing about a rifle that affects the operation of the weapon you have to make other changes in the system.
A perfect example is our PD cutting the barrels of 6920s down to the FSB. The guy doing the work also nade other changes and they work.
My Colt armorer pointed out other departments that had not changed the weapon other than taking a saw to the barrel and threading for the flash hider. They had all kinds of problems and then call Colt to complain. Colt of course takes a look at the S/N and realizes it didn't leave the factory that way.
You could probably make just about any configuration workable, even some goofy ones, with the right changes elsewhere.
