Have fun.
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.

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!

Ed, over the weekend I saw an add for one, not sure of the brand but want say Ruger.
Anyway a complete rifle for $449.
Sorry I can't remember where it was though, sorry.
