Thread: any Ar15/M4 fans siting around.

Don't have one...but it's on "the list". Does that mean I'm a fan

It may be awhile before it happens but eventually I'll get the urge, and have the money together at the same time. When that happens I'm buying a .308 AR.

Here's a question for you guys that are familiar with the AR platform/barrels. IF you get a lower and upper for .308 can you simply find or have made custom barrels to swap over to cartridges bases off the 308? (Like 358 Federal, 7-08, 243,...has 338-08 been picked up my a manufacturer yet? I still think that would be one heck of a brush-busting round for everything in N.A. save for brown bear.)

Yes, many aftermarket stuff has been out for it for some time. My only gripe is the dang bolt group is 2.5lbs by itself - stoner/armalite/dpms - all - I've weighed each. The as issued ar-10 (finland) weighed 7.5 lbs. What's w/ this 10+ manure?
