    What's the best performing 223 AR load/bullet if you had to choose one?

    I understand the sentiment but I'm just not shooting near as much anymore and when I do it's rarely in an organized match so all I'm looking for is the ability to find a good load that works well in a few guns.

    What's the best performing 223 AR load/bullet if you had to choose one?

    If you had to pick one load for general shooting target and possibly defense what would it be. Seems like a 75 or 77 grain load of some type is the most common choice. I still have a bunch of 77 Noslers I bought cheap so that's what I will probably start with. I know there's some newer bullets...

    Anyone own an Armalite AR30 or 31?

    I think they could have done well with that gun had they put even the slightest effort in it. I really wanted a 31 because I have an AR10 and mags for it already.

    Barrel chop? Advice requested

    Buy the Talo gun. It's most of what you want. Gunsmithing is just more money. Chopping then pinning and welding is not worth it for what you are doing. You are overthinking it. Have you shot and handled the Magpul stock before? I didn't like the one I got and it was a lot heavier than I...

    9mm Bolt Action Rifle - Looking for people with experience with the manufacturer (Curtis Tactical)

    I think there's a market especially for an OEM mass produced gun instead of a higher end custom. If Ruger made an American in 9mm that used good mags they'd sell a few. Even in the price range of the 77's I think they'd have a bit of a market.

    Any Armalite AR-50 owner here?

    What did you cut the barrel to?

    New AR cartridge the 400 Legend

    I would think most pistol bullets would just come apart even the bonded stuff. The 350 factory loads all seem to have rifle bullets in them.

    Remington 700 identification? Mountain rifle?

    Might try and find a copy of the blue book they usually have decent descriptions. Funny thing is some companies do so many exclusive and small runs that there isn't always good info on them.

    EDM Windrunner 50 Lefty value ?

    I don't think there's a real good way to value it outside of an auction which only works if the right person sees it. The problem with discontinued stuff is that it is a risk for parts and service and with it being very limited even more so.

    Whats the most powerful round I can put in an AR-10 build?

    At this point you should probably start your own thread about theoretical bullets that don't exist yet and their virtues

    Remington 700 ADL Varmint 223 with 8 twist?

    I hope it’s true. Lots of people tried to get the old Remingtons to do it.

    Rifle +3 & +4” gas tubes

    I have no idea which was first or correct but what he says about the Bushmaster guns is what I remember as well. I've seen barrels set up like your picture but the bushmaster stuff is where I first saw it.

    Howa: which one is it?

    I didn't know that but I don't exactly keep track. I can see reasons for both. Cabelas had a bunch of blem 223 mini actions with kryptek stocks and 1:8 barrels for $450. Still regret not grabbing one.

    .308 to 300WSM

    Are there any strength concerns? I think Savage used the Large Shank barrels on the short mags.

    Howa: which one is it?

    I think that's a pretty old gun because they moved to the mini action for 223. They've done a bunch of Kryptek guns over the years so I'm guessing that's what that is. That looks like a standard 1500 short action.

    CDI GUNWORKS DETACHABLE MAGAZINE BOTTOM METAL ALTERNATIVE

    Where he really shined was his installs. Think he did it for free or damn near if you sent your gun to him. I'm glad I sent my FN to him and wish I had sent a few more. That's what really made him stand out in my opinion.

    Anyone know where to get an affordable McMillan Tac-50 magazine?

    They are expensive because they aren't common. Scour the net for a used one or pay the price.

    Whats the most powerful round I can put in an AR-10 build?

    Yup or anything else. I really want to see a 50 Blackout that's standardized. Not near as fun now that 50bmg bullets aren't cheap. Should have grabbed a few thousand when they were under $.25 a piece. Lot's of cool possibilities with big dedicated 50 cal subs.

    Whats the most powerful round I can put in an AR-10 build?

    In bolt guns some guys chopped cases and made a 50WSM and shot BMG bullets. That would be awesome in an AR10 but I can't find a lot of info on it.
