This guide details the process of converting the Faxon ARAK-21 XRS between calibers, a key feature highlighted by Matt Carriker. The video demonstrates swapping barrels and bolts to switch from 5.56 NATO to 7.62x39. This modularity allows for significant versatility in ammunition choice.
The ARAK-21 XRS in 7.62x39 demonstrates impressive durability in drop and drive-over tests, with the Vortex optic maintaining zero. However, it struggles significantly in the sand tornado test due to sand buildup in the chamber, only firing two rounds. Magazine retention is noted as requiring a pull, not free-fall, and the ambidextrous safety can be cumbersome. Despite its weight, it offers a very smooth shooting experience with minimal recoil.
This YouTube video from VSO Gun Channel features a "Torture Test" of the ARAK 21 XRS firearm. The description emphasizes VSO's role as an educational resource for responsible gun ownership and safety, clarifying that they are not selling firearms and that their content is objective and based on performed tests. While the video is a "torture test," the description's focus on testing and evaluation by VSOrdnance LLC suggests a comprehensive, data-driven approach to assessing the firearm's capabilities and limitations. The video likely showcases the firearm under extreme conditions to evaluate its durability and reliability.
