    I must admit, some of these guns are expensive, but damn sexy.

    Nine bucks is pretty much rock bottom.

    Even as a Limey I know that's cheap. Now, not to derail the thread, but if I were to buy a stock AR, out of the box. Just bog standard. Is there a limit on the grain in the round I can go up to? Or does it not make a difference as long as it's the right calibre? I just saw some are 55gr. and wondered. Thought it may have an adverse effect on the weapon, but it might just mean more regular cleaning.

    Talking of which I need to find my Marine Weapon cleaning kit my S.Sgt mate got me from Iraq. Still has a bit of sand on the toughened fabric case :cool:

    The grain of bullet you can use in an AR-15 is generally limited by two variables.

    The length of the round can effect whether or not the round will feed from the magazine. Heavier rounds generally lead to a cartridge with a longer overall length. Or the AR-15 or other weapon using a STANAG magazine, a cartridge longer than 2.260" won't fit into the magazine. This means you would have to single load rounds longer than 2.260" into the chamber by hand. Single loading by hand is a common practice when shooting long range competitive matches with the AR-15, mainly because more streamlined bullets are also too long to fit in the magazine.

    The other variable is the twist rate in the barrel. A rifle with a typical 1:7" twist rate (bullet makes one complete rotation for every 7" of rifling it travels in) will generally stabilize shorter/lighter projectiles as well as heavier/longer projectiles. However if you use very light bullets with thin copper jackets in a fast twist barrel, the can sometimes be spun so much that they shred themselves apart due to centrifugal force.

    Bullet grain weight has no impact on how fast or slow the rifle or bore gets dirty, so changing bullet weights won't effect cleaning frequency.

    Holy shit that's a lot more detailed than I, a mere European, ever imagined.

    Thanks for the detailed post. Makes me wish I could dick around with guns at a local range now.

    I'm gonna assume people have read about the 3d printing of an AR-lower and magazine :hai: it was only a matter of time!

    When they stop "printing" with "plastic" and start "printing" with metal let me know.

    That...that is true. Plastic would scare me (lol, Glocknade). There's always Cad/Cam, but give it time...give it time *Mr Burns look*

    Some of the polymer lowers that are made commercially are good to go, though I would want to be butt stroking anything with it.

    I got lucky this week and picked up another PSA lower, that and my stripped upper came in the mail this week too. All I need is a barrel and barrel related parts, gas system parts, and a handguard.
