Thread: Aftermarket R93 and R8 Barrels – Major Safety Concerns

Its not that bad... haven't heard of anybody who has lost one... the trigger is still excellent, and to be honest I actually prefer taking the trigger and mag away from the rifle and leaving the bolt in it when making safe or storing. The fire control/bolt assembly has slide rails that extend from the body and in my view are considerably less robust that the equivalent bolt in a conventional rifle. It is preferable to leave it in the rifle, hence the detach trigger/mag isn't a bad idea.

To remove the trigger mag both sides have to be squeezed at the same time, making accident loss unlikely unless not properly inserted in the first place...

You can get a whole replacement unit easily enough and while dearer than most mags, bit over $400... not completely out of the question to have a spare carried as a quick mag change anyway...
