Zastava M19

Wonder if we'll see these stateside? I kind of like it except for the Keymod. And the charging handle, which makes me irrationally angry.

I like it, but no the cheese grater hand guard! 🤣 Doubt we will see it here anytime soon. Don’t know why they didn’t do some type of non-reciprocating left size charging handle.

To the caliber/barrel changing function…having multiple Robinson XCRs for the last 15+ years with 5.56, 5.45, 300 Blk, 6.8, 6.5 and 7.62 kits, caliber/barrel changing is a neat function, but that’s about it from a field use perspective. It has been nice to have those options in one gun, but I can’t see that I would ever carry 2 kits and ammo in the field at one time. I actually can’t even remember the last time a switched one of them from 5.56 and 300 to another caliber.

With the M19, I think the quick change barrel feature would be more useful in dropping hot barrels for cooler ones under sustained fire vs. the barrel length/caliber argument.

Just my 1 cent…can’t afford 2 anymore due to Bideflation! 😬
