Ar-15 question.
Ar-15 question.
Is the ar line of rifles sutiable for hunting game larger than varmits?
What about the competition '1 in 8' twist barrels that handle the heavier slugs? Good hunting round or really for competition matches?
What say you?
I was also thinking of the new 6.8spc upper, but I hear the more powerful round make the parts wear out faster. Is this true?

ar-15 question.
I have a ar style of rifle, but the bolt wont lock back into place like it should.
However I have tried it with a bushy bolt and carrier and it does lock back into place; however it will not lock back with the one that came with the upper.
I do not think the bolt catch itself is out of spec; or is it?
EDIT: **** The problem comes from a empty magazine and the bolt not wanting, or refusing to hold open on that empty magazine. ****

I suppost they have match models that are accurate enough to be used on varmints, but there's a reason they give the "designated marksmen" M40s. 0 -
suitable for whitetail with proper shot placement 0 -
can you hunt with it larger than varmint? you "can" hunt deer with a .22LR. not recommended.
a 1/8 barrel handling heavier bullets, yes it will. recall that the military 1/7 twist was made specifically for what, 69 gr. and the reason they used heavier bullets (than 55 gr) was for enhanced penetration. so that's what you'll get with 1/8 and heavier "hunting" bullets, more penetration.0 -
The US Coast Guard is throwing .50 cal lead out of their AR15/M16's to sink boats and shatter engine blocks.
Leitner Wise is the brand upper they are using which is just a fancier version the .50 Beowulf by Alexander Arms.
Is that big enough game for you?
If not look at www.safetyharborfirearms.com
They have 50BMG uppers for about $2500. They work great for those larger version chipmunks that roam the woods.[:p]0
