+1 Until I switched to my .45 <thumbsup> Even my dreams couldn't deny the .45!

These RRA guys are always popping up :cookoo: . You have to poke them back into their holes with a sharp stick! If you want an Armalite that uses PMAG's you must order the AR-10A If she wants a nice hunting rig, I have to always suggest the Remington R-25. They come in .243, 7mm-08 and .308... And even though they have 20" barrel's they still only weight in at 7.75 lbs! They all come in Remington's "Mossy Oak" decor. If it were me, I'd go for the R-25 in .308. Then send the barrel in to get cut to 18" and threaded. Slap a brake on there and call it a day! Don't make the poor girl heft a fluted heavy barrel around looking for a Moose. That's just cruel. If the large format rifles are getting too heavy and pricey... AND your wife is a good shot! Check out the 300Blk. You can build it on a small format rifle, and a 200+gr bullet will take down a Moose at 100 yards. You just have to hit it right. Keep it light and affordable. (Check out the Barnes TSX-FB 200gr!) A 300Blk with a 18"-20" barrel would be one hell of a hunting rifle.

Tom, Mike, Jon... And anyone else I might be missing, The last winning Powerball ticket was purchased in Pheonix. There's about $250mil still unaccounted for from the winnings. If one of you guys won... I'm expecting a VERY nice Christmas gift this year. I expect two from Tom!

PS. Choate makes a collapsible stock. From what I understand, the ACE folding stock adapter can also be used on this. So your stock could fold and collapse.

Fulton Armory has most of the parts you'll need

You're right on the mark. The 1:10 and 1:12 are the ratios of "revolutions to inches". Much like a football is required a perfect spiral to make a proper pass, a bullet must also spin. The weight/shape of the bullet determines how fast that spin should be. Big slow bullets need to spin very fast to stabilize. The faster the velocity of that bullet, the less spin it requires. A tighter twist also creates more barrel pressure and heat from bullet friction. The best example of this is from the owners of the .220 Swift or the 22-250 owners. They are notorious for using tight twist rifles that shoot near 4k fps. They also replace barrels at extraordinarily short life spans. This was more an issue 10+ years ago. A decent quality barrel can handle faster/lighter loads with a tighter twist. You will find that a lot of custom barrels (for the .308 Win) come at 1:10 twist. The makers will generally stand by their product and say it's ok to shoot down to 145gr and then as heavy as your rifle will handle. My general rule of thumb it, "take it easy". If you know you have a tight twist, and you are shooting lightweight bullets... DON'T mag dump... Take it easy. Give your barrel some breathing room. Besides, at $.75 to $1.50 a bullet, mag dumps are expensive! :P BACK TO THE ORIGINAL QUESTION: I would shoot from 150gr and down. Don't waste your time with the larger stuff. It's not dangerous, you'll just upset yourself with accuracy issues. You might even try some hot loaded Sierra Match BTHP 135gr or the Barnes TSX-BT 130gr! Those will get you close or over 3k fps, and will destroy furry-four-legged pests with GREAT prejudice. <thumbsup>

I tease him saying that they judge took all his money so he can't afford to "hire" someone. <lmao>

My buddy is divorced and sees it completely opposite. $2,200 in child support and $700 in alimony buys HER a Christmas present every month! He went from a half mil home and a range rover, to his parents house and an old Ford F150. Never ever EVER get divorced in California!

I'm at work, watching this on my iPhone, laughing my ass off. Too much rain. No bike for me this week. I'm bored as hell, and loving every minute of it!!!

As long as there are people, I will have a job. Right now the rain is keeping most of the dirt bags indoors or under their bridges. Tis the season for my largest theft ring busts. Lock your shit up. Don't leave shit in your car. Plan deliveries to your house for days/hours you are home. If you fall asleep, with your mouth agape, and you wake up without the fillings in your teeth... Don't say I didn't warn you. <thumbsup>

I think they shot up ALL the 12 gauge ammo. They were even blowin through the slugs at one point. I'm gettin the wife a pocket knife. She lost her Kershaw in AZ. I just got her a new one. It's a Ken Onion blur! I'm tryin to find her a 4th gen Glock G23, but Blue Labels are sold out all over.

Are you planning on shooting paper or fur?

HOLY CRAP! How many slings are you mounting!?! Did someone invent a 16-point sling recently? I am digging the color! <thumbsup>

I hunt with an old Win Mod 70 in .243 Win. If my suggestion counts, I say Federal "Vital-Shok" 85gr with the Barnes Triple-Shock X bullet. That bullet should take down most anything in North America. If you're worried about bullet weight, or you regularly hunt larger than 200#, you could try the Winchester polymer tipped 95 gr. XP3. I've used the Fed 80gr soft points for the California Blacktail Deer. It does the job well enough. The Barnes 85gr does more than its share of the work. I think I have some boxes of 100gr sierra BTSP, but I don't think I've ever shot it. The 80gr .243 bullet, traveling 3300-3000 fps, will produce 60% more energy (foot pounds) at 100 yards vs a 77gr .223, traveling only 2700-2500 fps. The 85gr with the Barnes bullet only loses about 100 fps, keeps near the same energy, and performs a lot better once it hits fur. I'll bet that 95gr is a flesh wrecker, but I haven't shot them yet.

:laughing4: :pics-stfu:

Seeing that Remington has only produced a few ACR's, and none of them released to the public yet (don't confuse the Bushmaster ACR with the Remington ACR). I'll bet there isn't any production set up yet, and all the models released are for T&E purposes. I'll bet after Colt released the CM901, someone at the top of Remington looked at his R&D team and asked why they hadn't thought of that yet. Although, they do own AAC and Barnes, which would provide a lot of weight behind the 300Blk again. It also negates needing a large frame format since the ACR is not intended to be a long range precision rifle.

I just want the polymer casings! That's damn near a 30% discount on ammo right there!

It looks to me that Freedom Group/Remington is setting a strong foothold for the Army's next rifle contract. When the time comes for the question, "how many can you make, and how fast?" Their answer will be, "all of them. Right now!" In a few years expect to see ACR variants from Remington, Bushmaster, DPMS, LAR, AAC, et al. If they do get the contract, buy stock in DuPont! All that polymer has to come from somewhere.

What about the forward mounted side charging handle in the Adcor? I too am looking at a pistol build. It's a must for me to make a completely ambidextrous gun. I was going to do a Mega or Seekins build, but now I'm thinking of a KAC-E3. Even though it comes with an ambi switch, I'll swap for a short throw BADASS. If I do my own upper (ASA or JP) I'll add a Daniel Defense 10.3" (I like their lightweight and government contoured barrels). Add a Troy Alpha tube and a BC v1.0 and she's ready to fire. Of course a LAW Tactical folding stock adapter is in order as well. It's gotta fit in a motorcycle saddlebag!!

Hand load or factory load?

Yeah, I'm seeing sales on prior gen PMAGs for $10 a piece.

Damn! Pimpin ain't easy! That rifle looks like it should be staring in a rap video. I especially like the pistol grip. Did you fabricate that?

If you said campfire instead of grill, I'd have thought you were my father. That's how he ALWAYS cooks trout.

It looks like Midwest Ind is stepping into the AR10 game again. Here is their super [urlhttp://www.midwestindustriesinc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=category.display&category_ID=1118]lightweight freefloat. They say it fits AR10 and RRA.

The positive of a FF tube vs a drop-in handguard is that the device won't interfere with barrel harmonics as much. This gives a slight increase in accuracy at long distance. Having the right tools makes the job easier. If you don't mind spending the money for the tools, then do it yourself. You'll get a slight bit more satisfaction. Having a smith do the swap will save you a little money on tools.
