And with about $3k worth of work a Jeep Wrangler can go everywhere plus some that this made up Festiva can go with probably $50k worth of work, and it's still a Wrangler at the end of the day and will be a lot easier to sell. Not to mention Wranglers hold their value better than literally any other mass production vehicle in the US.
But for everything other than a daily driver I'll take a 60s era Land Rover before a Wrangler. Off road beasts.

@Jake, this is the dry moly spray that is almost a perfect match for the gray AR mag finish you want for your dad's dissy mags. $10 to do several of free if you swing by here. And we can talk trade on the single shot NEFs.

How bout a pic of the 450?

This isn’t the one I had as a teenager, but it’s the same color and the same wheels.

Well, what concerns me is the excessive pressures. I prefer to run well within the range of pressure set forth by the engineers who designed the guns, because I've owned a few guns that had been run with 9mm+p+ ammo, and their frames started cracking along with the barrel link pin bending, and other issues.
So I DO have some experience with guns run with excessive pressure, and the stuff listed in the article sounds about right - locking lugs cracking, bolts breaking, gas ports getting eroded, extractors breaking, reduced barrel life (although that's more subjective, but certainly throat erosion). Not to mention needing updated mags to avoid the feeding problems from the slightly longer OAL. It's just a lot of extra wear for not a lot of return on that investment.

But you do you. There'll be more M855 around for me to use since you'll be using up ALL of the 855A1 with all that shooting you do... :whistling:

:fencing:
Huh.

I think of the two of us only one is an actual engineer. From the data I've seen and actual combat use, it's fine.

CALCULATOR DROP.
