No, you’ll just lose it in a tragic boating accident.

Save your money.

Modern Revolvers are Double Action.

Of course. I've had a S&W 686 (.357 mag) for decades. Great piece.

And if handy with tools and such, build one for about the same or less. Seems I have a lot of odd AR type bits laying around from always trying something different out.

You know the “big block” AR exists in .308, of course.

No, no. You’ve got it all wrong. I sold them to space aliens. Giorgio sent them over. We had chili and beer and it was very nice. Swell fellows.

I also swapped one of my pistols for a 40 gigajoule multi frequency pulse laser projector. Just the ticket for those pesky drones.

Ar-10 converted to 6.5 creedmoor. You’ll thank me later.

Going to tell him what the ammo costs if he does not reload?

Best thang to do is toss em a big can of wasp spray and shoot the can while they are holding it.... quick draw and tracer ammo optional.

You mean like panties with days of the week embroidered on them, except painted or carved on them?

For good hornady lead, 39 Canadian for 20. I imagine it’s cheaper there. It’s a reloader’s cartridge for sure though.

As a former soldier, I have zero confidence in 5.56.

Best “lock time” of any commercial , over the counter , action going...... I know a bunch of varmint shooters that use that action to build very very accurate rifles.

1. It had multiple lugs, with a total area which(I suspect) exceeded that of the 700.

2. The rear-locking lugs were arranged in an “interrupted thread” configuration, 120 degrees apart, which allowed the bolt to be completely unlocked with only 68 degrees of rotation, and still clear a scope.

3. The rear lugs allowed more reliable feeding, especially with rimmed ammunition, since the cartridges didn’t have to cross a lug recess in the reciever.

4. The rear locking generally minimized the length of the bolt stroke, which speeded cycling

5. It had a very quick locktime of 2.36 milliseconds versus 3 milliseconds for a stock model 700.

As you state, out of the box its a nail driver. Keeper !
