FN 57 Upper for AR 15

Found this online while browsing some gun boards, I figure Id share with you guys, pretty cool concept, the mag well serves as the ejection port for the casings.

So why does he have magazine stuck in the mag well?

still really interesting.

^^it's actually just a hollow tube, to direct shells forward from your feet.


saw a couple of those at one of my local gun shows. interesting idea, vaguely. make an entertaining plinker. if I wanted a 5.7, tho, I'd probably just get a PS90.

That is a Shell Catcher and not a mag in the well.

so is it still a 5.7 like the PDW or does that top mag have 5.56 rounds? What's the capacity while we're at it?

But the PS90 looks like crap with its reg barrel - and putting a faux suppressor on it does not make it much better.
Not that this AR looks any better- whats the capacity n e way?

yup Mag is standard p90 mag, in standard 5.7 , so no 5.56 involved.

Mags come in 50 rnd, or 30 rnd.

[Chulo]

for some reason that looks longer than a normal p90 mag, could be just the design

Yes I thought that to, but its a standard p90 mag. I think the longer rifle makes it visualy appear longer.

I've seen these in person, but finding dirt cheap 5.7mm's enough to keep me away from it. Interesting concept though, but it can't do more than what the PS90 can do already.

Yup Barrel length and twist rate are the same so will be no different. Just something cool that will be worth some money one day on a collectors shelf.

and then I was looking for some AR uppers and came across this one.

[Troubadour]

Why would I want 5.7?

[Createdeemcee]

No purpose to need one but If It was economical to shoot, I would buy one.
