    SHTF: 5.56 or bust?

    Got something against steel? It should be pretty easy to get a case of brass for $300, shipped.

    In terms of cost per hit, rather than cost per round, .223 is cheaper :thumb:

    Poll: Which two matter most to you in a can?

    Price then warranty then DB. For a rifle can, accuracy and at least a repeatable POI shift would be major consideration, but it's not a choice.

    Does gun technology suck?

    The purpose of a gun is to send a hunk of lead downrange. We pretty much have that figured out. Until there is a major ammunition advancement, like caseless ammo, rail gun tech, or laser/phaser blasters, guns don't have much more they could do. Accessories can always get a little better/cheaper...

    SHTF: 5.56 or bust?

    I used three gun competitors, because you said you could run one as quick as the other, with practice/training. The accuracy standard isn't that great in three gun, and they would use an AK if their split times were better. Those guys also aren't limited by budget and could kit an AK out however...

    SHTF: 5.56 or bust?

    How many of the top 3 gun guys run a AK variant? Speed is probably a moot point with 5.45, but I don't enjoy the recoil of the 7.62 AK. The recoil of a garand or M1a bothers me less, it's more but less sharp. Kinda like 45 versus the 40. The accuracy is not a myth in the average shooters hands...

    Recipe Leg of lamb

    Best tasting meal I've cooked in a month. Opened it up, made a rub with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, ground coriander, oregano, and fresh rosemary. Coated it with a marinade of homemade tzatziki. 10% milkfat Greek yogurt, bunch of minced garlic, grated cucumber, and fresh mint, with salt and...

    SHTF: 5.56 or bust?

    The .22 conversion shouldn't affect the chamber at all. The end of it replaces the chamber with basically a hollow .223 shell casing. I have a cmmg dedicated upper and like it. You can build one fairly easily since the don't require a gas system.

    SHTF: 5.56 or bust?

    That was my thinking. But I infered most of the stuck case issues are from shooting steel, then shooting brass in the next session. My thinking was, by alternating together, the brass fireforms and removes the crud left behind from the steel. That doing both, while the gun is still hot, I can...

    SHTF: 5.56 or bust?

    Completely understand. But with the standard iron sights on both rifles, I would call an AK half as accurate as an AR, even though the inherent accuracy is closer. A 300 yard shot is at least as difficult as a 600 yard shot with an AR. The loadout is heavier and the recoil is worse. If this...

    SHTF: 5.56 or bust?

    @DarthVader, question I used to shoot mostly steel, and still shoot some, mostly when doing run and gun stuff where accuracy isn't an issue. I've always shot a mag of brass every few mags to help clean the chamber. I would always finish with bas while the gun was still hot. Wrong? Never had a...
