I built a lower for an AR a few weeks back, pulled an upper off of anther and put on it.
But have yet to try it out.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

This was Federal loads. I had some Norma with me but during the second cease fire I went to put on another overlay and my target blew down. As luck would have it I didn't take a stapler with me. I decided to call it quits after shooting those two targets rather than wait another 25 minutes for the nest cease fire to put it back up. I did order some .223 Forster dies today so I guess I have another caliber to reload :lol: . My wife isn't going to know what to do with all this stuff if I have a heart attack! Oh, that was 50 yards. I don't see well enough anymore to shoot 100. Going to the eye doctor on Wednesday to get my next round of monthly injections. I may try 100 the next time out.
Jake.

All this talk of AR shooting makes me think I want one!

I might drop into a local pawn shop and make some ridiculously, low offer on one of the 100s on the racks - but it probably will not be accepted!
