MG Industries have developed an interesting quick change barrel / takedown upper receiver for the AR-15.
Tam has got her hands on one of them and has an interesting discussion going on about it on her blog.
Doesn’t the 30+ year old Steyr AUG come standard with a quick change barrel system? What’s new?
