It just means that you get a longer barrel for a given overall length. Anon, this design won’t add to the sight radius. It just means that you get a longer barrel for a given overall length.

Most reliability issues stem from the magazine failing to feed; this could very well inhibit that problem from occurring by taking the feed lips out of the equation. The extra length added to the barrel is nice too. When finished I could see this boosting reliability with auto-loaders.

Maybe, maybe not. But if it works reliably, I'd say it is definitely worth adding 3/4" to the sight radius... “Is gaining 3/4″ of barrel length worth adding more moving parts and a bunch of monkey motion to the feed cycle?”

Maybe, maybe not.

I guess if you gotta be different…
