Recently read a post about if piston operated was a fad. I don't believe it is but am finding it hard to pull the trigger (sorry re:pun) on one of the latest "fads". I've been wanting to purchase a Spear LT, as the topic states. But everywhere I turn I'm seeing things that have me pump the brakes on getting one. I know about supposed barrel flex or handguard flex and Arisaka's fix. Recently found out that the Spear puts a divot/dent in the hammer. And was thinking of just getting an upper but being it's bufferless/recoil op contained in upper, the upper doesn't flush up with standard lowers. Despite all this I can't talk myself out of one.
Do I want this short stroke, bufferless ar18ish rifle that much, I can overlook these shortcomings? I'm no Sig fanatic. I have a slight disdain for their handguns. All this and I still want a MCX Spear LT 11.5
If this wasn't such a 1st world problem I'd call in to question my mental state. So throw your best and worst at me, I can take my licks and need fresh perspectives.
