Short fat seems to be the way to go to cheat more power out of the standard pattern. Those are pretty impressive results Greg. I've often wondered how much merit there would be in designing and "intermediate" AR pattern. One that didn't have the size and weight of a large frame, but gave a longer magazine to develop nice effecient intermediate rifle cartridges that would give rounds like the 6.5 Grendel a bit more clout. I reckon if done right with smart cartridge design it could make both patterns obsolete.

You have to be careful not to over power the bolt head, very easy to do & they are quiet delicate

Like that 22 Grendel or the 6.5 brx? Neat stuff, going to do a bit of reading.

Yeah I know right, CCard was burning a hole in my pocket! After conference with a mate who can build them, who said he would buy it..(which didn't help) but put a few things in perspective for me, and the wife (just off the back of our wedding) - although keen on the idea, helped me cool the jets a bit...I somehow convinced myself to put it off until xmas/next year. TBH, I wanted/needed to buy a range finder (vortex 1500 @ $800) otherwise I probably still would of done it lol. :/

And yeah the 1:9 with stock trigger. They guy would of chucked in $175 polymer sights, an extra mag and an AR tool at $2k as well. Luckily I can still get 10% off through the company and I'm sure they will honer their deal later on if I don't find/build a better one. (Depending on import/exchange rate)

I sometimes wonder what the practical point of a 9mm ar is when you have a 300blk, I also own both and font the only advantage the 9mm is is not having to make cases and slightly less fussy reloading

there probably isn't one, I only built it.. because I can & why not, and most importantly I wanted one.

Cheaper to shoot

Cheaper to shoot

Barely, my cast 300 rounds cost hardly any more than my cast 9mm rounds.

That may be so, but if you shoot factory not so much.

Can't fault that logic at all! I love mine but struggle to justify why

[Glycerine]

If i looked at all my guns and tried to justify each one, beyond "I wanted it" I probably only have reason for two
