THE REVOLUTION HANDLES LIKE A 5.56 BECAUSE IT'S THE SAME SIZE AND WEIGHT AS ONE. This isn't a stripped down rifle that's saving weight by making extra cuts or lacking the battle rifle features you're accustomed to. We've worked Patriot magic into the Revolution by using a 5.56 bolt carrier and other 5.56 parts allowing for a shorter overall receiver size and reduced weight. - THIS IS NOT A SMALL FRAME AR-10 it's smaller!
