me's Review of Desert Tech MICRON Side Eject 5.56x45mm NATO / .223 Wylde Caliber Conversion Kit

I really would like it if Desert Tech offered more options. I bought my MDRX with the innovative forward eject system. But the micron isn't offered in forward eject! �. I do not like the micron handguard. Would be nice if the kit was available without. I ended up using an ALX handguard with direct thread YHM Turbo K to internally suppress. I wish Desert Tech would offer a forward eject, barrel only. It would save a couple hundred dollars and I'd be able to retain the innovative forward eject system. But Desert Tech listens more to YouTube channels like MAC and less to the people actually paying for their products. Since I had to switch from forward eject to side, I also had to pay another $90 for the flat side port cover. Only found directly through Desert Tech. Keep that in mind if you have a forward eject.

In case you're concerned, I did Form 1 my rifle.
Pros:
  • lightens rifle
  • improved gas adjustment
Cons:
  • not available in forward eject
  • need additional side port cover
Would Recommend: Yes
