What does this offer over for example an Adams Arms upper reciever?

  @Xerxes036 Adams is a short stroke where this is a long stroke piston like an AK. And as you can see there is a giant flame war akin to 1911 vs. Glock or DI vs. Piston.
  When it comes down to it this gun probably won't do anything better or worse than a short stroke piston AR. It's probably more "tank like" but that means it'll also be heavier.
  I've built AA piston guns that were super light (for piston) ~7lbs loaded along with completely ambi SanTan Tactical billet lowers for under or at $1000. On an AR platform switching barrels doesn't make sense to me when you can just change the upper.
  I also have an ACR and love the ergos but honestly the QD barrel system makes it a heavy beast...plus Bushmaster abandoned it and there's no barrels to swap out unless you go custom which kinda defeats the purpose...

The upcoming sig MCX ( not mpx) looks to do the same thing, but looks cooler. Seems that you can use any ar lower with it, and that a special hinge is added in place of the buffer tube.

  @TheOtherDAN You can use a standard lower on this one, too.
