I decided against an A2 style

also I hate the A2 sight.

maybe I should buy one of those barrels that is carbon fiber re-enforced

and build up a pinned and welded 14" barrel

I generally prefer 223 wylde chambers

Expensive, but they're pretty light

1.57 lbs for the 14.5

hrm even the new ultralight fluted barrels weigh less

probably not worth the carbon fiber re-enforced ones unless it's longer

First sign of ignorance? Ask them what AR stands for.

it's not assault rifle?

./s

yeah

but quizzing people is like a shit test

I think we just need more firearms education in public school

it's a fucking right ffs

I think knife and firearm training would be good

with current tech (Airsoft, air rifles) you could very easily train someone for short range stuff; make sure they don't negligent discharge

They tried to put fire arms education in schools. The Democrats were all for it until they found out that the NRA were the ones that usually did the training.

I think 20 years before I started HS they had a designated shooting range

My dad was from a small town in AL and he always said during hunting season kids would bring their guns to school so they could go hunting afterwards. They just left them in their lockers.

I don't even care; I honestly don't support everything the NRA stands for.

yeah

what was once commonplace

I'm thinking of getting on the 224 valkyrie train

maybe I'll wait another year or two to see if there are better bullet designs

have not head much about the 223 valkyrie

I usually just stay with the older calibers. Afraid of buying a gun in a new round and not being able to find ammo for it.

It's a chamber with higher pressure and I think a slightly longer neck

it's just 223 remington with a larger piece of brass

ok, thanks

I think federal's ammo uses 90gr SMK's

which do not fit into most mags when loaded correctly

Dies already exist which is good

my target 223 wylde loads are all 69 and 77gr's

I mass prep 62gr SS109 for trash, since it performs well enough

lots of folks bitch about it but I've had absolutely wonderful success with them, getting moa groups without much filtering

It cheap and works well enough for field work.

yes

24.3 gr of H335 does really fucking well with minimal crimping
