  1. Father in law and I were discussing the usual gun and hunting conversations over the 4th, he's been dying to have a gun made in a specific caliber for a specific use. Im a fan of the caliber he wants, I used to even have one, but have since moved on to different calibers. I tried to convince him to try a different caliber, but he wouldnt budge. A man wants what a man wants, I get it. Lol. Stubborn as he may be I told him I would build him exactly what he is wanting. More to come on Monday when more parts show up.

    Thanks, seems like it takes forever for stuff to arrive, when your anxiously waiting for it. Barrel is going to take the longest, just need my trigger to show up so I can assemble the lower

    I had a 204, it's a wicked little round, pounded quite a few yotes with it, exploded a few rabbits and p-dogs with it as well. I've since then got rid of it, and switched to a Grendel, not because it's better, but the Grendel serves a larger spectrum for hunting.

    Hes stubborn, Easiest way to explain, he's a man of few calibers, the way he explained it to me was he didnt want a bunch of different calibers in his safe, he has a 204 in a bolt gun, for 10 years hes been wanting one in a AR. As we know there are lots of excellent other choices , some very impressive new rounds came available with the last few years. Hes a man of speed I guess, only a few come close to what a 204 pushes. Im not saying there arent fastest rounds, or even better choices for ballistics. He doesnt reload anymore, and will be using shelf ammo, and he has a lot of shelf ammo lying around...

    Yes, 204 ruger. I'm about month out on the barrel, should be fun to see a 204 with a can.

    The 762 is a sweet round in that platform. The 9mm is really fun with a bump stock, I have a 10mm pistol and I can't see the use for it in a AR platform. This build won't be pistol caliber. Sorry for the crappy pic, 223 on a 75gn reload on the left, his caliber on the right

    The tinder fire

    The fire is in 5a, but can easily jump the 87 into 5BS, my family’s cabin is within a 100 yards on stargazer dr, and if jumps the 87 it will be all over
