MSAR STG-556 - 5.56x45mm

The STG-556 is a short-stroke gas-operated, rotating locking bolt firearm in 5.56x45mm in a bullpup configuration. The gas piston is entirely encapsulated inside the adjustable gas block and upon firing strikes the long operating rod attached to the bolt carrier, forcing the lug atached to the bolt to follow its track in the carrier, rotating and unlocking it from the receiver, which then recoil to cock the hammer again, then under spring force, return to battery. The trigger makes use of two long transfer rods which span the magazine well and enter the polymer hammer back, pushing the sear towards the rear and releasing the hammer. Both the barrel and the bolt lock into the receiver at its rear. Removal of the barrel is accomplished by pushing the takedown knob down and in, then rotating the barrel group, disengaging the lugs from the receiver. The Receiver is then removed by pushing the cross pin in, allowing the assembly to slide forward and out, followed by the bolt carrier assembly. The buttpad is then removed by pressing the button on the top of it while pulling out the takedown pin with its captive swing swivel. After depressing the bolt release, the hammer pack slides out the rear of the stock.
