not007 very clean bushmaster.
I have to say that those LWRC rifles are looking tough.

That's cool artwork with your LWRC Fongman and a nice Bushy/POF setup Not007.

Nothing wrong with an XCR thrown in the mix!
That was going to be my next buy. Very nice weapon. I bought another POF instead but still want one.
I owned an M96 and thought it was a pretty good rifle. It was a piston op alternative for an AR15 at the time.

I guess not, there a nice looking rifle as Magik's is, but there a damn righty plot to rule the world rifle with that charging handle on the wrong side!!!

XCR's and there leftside charging handle can kiss my lefty

Just funnin of course. Nice XCR Magik.

Damm! So "BLUNT" Achilles1!!!

I see nothing wrong with the charging handle on the left side! Im a left handed shooter too!

XCR's are fine rifles. They rank right under Piston Operated AR15's.

I can't help but be blunt, it's in my nature.

I'm playing with the charging handle pokes though. It's completely workable for a lefty as I've discussed in another thread with TheMagikBullet.
It's just not optimum in placement for a lefty and can be a hassle to get to at times.

OK...who left the door open and let the AK XCR in? Next, you'll have folk posting their SIGs and god knows what else!

I agree.
All respects to TheMagikBullet and VB3, even though there nice looking rifles there not piston AR's and there are specific XCR photo threads already.
Let's please be respectful in return and post only pictures of piston AR's from here out.

Thanks

Hey I heard at a gunshow the XCR is nothing but a piston on an AR15 lower. If its heard at a gunshow than it must be true...

Just having a little fun, kids...

That's a nice photo POF, thank you.
I think alot of people like seeing the guts and bolts too.

Any complete rifle pics would be great also.

How can I get an M4 handguard that will fit my piston Bushy that doesn't have the rails on it?

I'd say by calling POF and Bushmaster seeing if you can buy some without the rails drilled or just buy some aftermarkets and dremel them to fit the gas cylinder and op rod space needed same as the ones you've got.

Nice looking rifle Pokeguyjai.

Here's my entry.

It's an L-W conversion. I wanted a KISS carbine. I put this together before BRD fully set in. Looking back I would have done it differently. Probably a flat top upper, and M4 barrel for starters.

Instead it's an A2 upper with a Bushy 1-9 LW 16" barrel. Glacier Guards, and a 4 pos stock.

ETA a couple more pics.

The L-W gas piston under the upper handguard.

The Mega Gator lower the whole thing's attached to.

The two dings in the finish near the pivot pin are there because the pin's a stubborn little fucker.

It is K.I.S.S. and still a great rifle. Very nice. It nevers hurts to have more also.
Why not now set in plan to get the exact rifle you'd like now and keep this one around for the family.

I don't know if you do or not but it doesn't hurt to put a little oil or grease around the pins and pin holes. As long as there not really worn and loose already that it could cause them to back out unwantedly it will make it easier to disassemble the upper to lower when you want and prevent some additional wear.
I use Tetra grease on a Qtip with mine in and around all the connections that fit together and slide against each other at some point just for this reason.

Also, stick to using a nylon punch for stubborn takedown pins.
