    scootch00...just watch him assembling a lower or 2 ....shudder......

    Yet another caliber. So all our AR Guru's, looking at all the options out there whats so good about yet another caliber that isnt (fairly) mainstream? and hence cheap? he sums it up as "a little better" For me the ideal gain is asymmetrical, I do a little and get quite a bit back.

    I am curious, my impression is I think the AR15 platform has limits and things like this are stretching them. I mean it isnt bad to develop something just at some point be prepared to move. Like when I used to build high performance car engines after a certain point in tuning them up it just came back to get a bigger engine, capacity increases are relatively cheap, quieter, more effective and longer lasting. I wonder the AR15 isnt the same. So for medium range (300~800yds) where you have time why isnt the good old bolty ideal?
