The M1A1 suits me well, and I love the platform! I use the military peep sight with no scope, because my long range will be covered by a 300 win mag.
I wonder if the AR-10 frame can hold up to the 308 charge. I do like the longer case ability, but it is lighter than I like. If it were steel, it might be okay. Titanium would be ideal, but it is difficult to machine.
I am, sadly, a tool whore, LOL! I have one piece of test equipnent that originally sold for $75,000 that I use in my consulting business.
I made a pair of switchable electrodes in my shop that was 5 by 22 foot. Now that was fun...they were powder coated for calibrated electrode areas.
I'm adding investment casting to my metal pouring capability! It's never boring....
♡♡♡♡
Absolutely and you can shoot wonderful calibers like 338 Federal 6.5 creedmoor as well as 243...
Super versatile and I can't wait until they come out with a 40 caliber upper.
I enjoy my 6.5mm Swedish. I have harvested deer at over 450 yards with that round!
But I may build up some AR-10 stuff, but we are running out of time on 80% stuff. May be forced to scratch build....
My Son carries a 40, as a cleet guard at Tulsa University. My Daughter keeps one in her purse too, LOL! Nice size....
♡♡♡♡Yep and you can get 9mm conversion barrels.
There are a lot of options for sure! It is wise to limit conversioms to calibers that you already have, with ammo where it is. Preferrably one that you reload already.
The AR-9 shoots 9mm pistol ammo, but with a long barrel; you'll get a lot more power out of that round. The prepper goal of both shooting the same round is easily met that way too.
I gave looked at conversion kits for the 45 acp, but since I reload that, and with 22 LR so scarce; I didn't pursue that. Might be interesting with the 556....
Just trying to focus on more prepping before the economy crashes!
>:(Absolutely having some versatility is absolutely amazing.
And as well everyday we see the March slowly towards war with China the collapse of our industrial base and economy as well as radical inflation from a illegitimate fraud of an election of a pedophile with a crackhead son into the White House.
Well it's really not going to matter much when we get to a dust up with China and I have a feeling they are going to be accelerating their plans and this is going to happen quite a bit sooner.
I think that china will push biteme (since he is in their employ) into a war with russia. That way, both are destroyed leaving china intact, to 'help' us; by helping themselves...to anything they want!
Your analysis of the biden crime family is spot on, sadly they are undoubtedly worse than we will ever know....
So, get to the country, and become self sufficient; ASAP!
>:(Yep I'm looking for a father-in-law with good gun collection...
