I bet those chambers are a lot of fun to clean.

So new cartridges do not have the ribs on them?
Superior? NOT Much more recoil in the delayed locked-roller blowbackIt's actually superior German engineering for the application it's meant for. The weapon has a delayed locked-roller blowback system, and fluting allows the hot gasses to "float" the spent casing out of the chamber making it an incredibly reliable method of extraction. Even if the extractor breaks, or a casing shears off in the chamber, the chamber gets cleared 99.9% of the time.
That's an AWESOME feature for a assault/battle rifle.

design. Compared to a M1A.
Did you REALLY just ask that question after all that discourse and explanation?
Correct, Way more inertia in the bolt assembly and unregulated gassing to the bolt face equals a noticeable increase in recoil

I wondered about this. I didn't think "fireforming" would take all of the lines out.

They're ribbed, for your pleasure
....some pics from a few months back of some fluted brass cleaned up....
Well boys & girls I have found a dozen or more of these casings today and have about 2 dozen total, does anyone want them?
