Favorite caliber in the AR platform and why?Or what caliber do you hate and why?

[CamoDeafie]

The balance is weird, though... Very front heavy

Wait until you handle a National Match free floated A2 HBAR AR the free float handguard adapter is made of steel and you put modified A2 plastic halves on it. Then there's the 20" HBAR.

Or alternately, a Bull barrel (0.975+ outside dia) varmint AR with a metal free float tube handguard with bipod. Way front heavy

Got my 24" heavy barrel 6.5 creedmoore AR10. barrel alone is 5lbs. I can agree that this rifles are indeed front heavy

I don't think anyone has said it yet but impo the 260 rem is a winner in the AR10 platform. I'm sure other people are doing it but larue makes a pretty cool setup to swap barrels out from 308/6.5 and 260.

5.56 /223 in a 15 platform for me and again just personal opinion however, i wish more states would allow deer hunting with them.

.50 BMG when you just gotta vaporize something

Funny you should say that..... (granted it not on an AR lower)

The JAKL is great. Adjustable on the fly gas system really keeps keep things mild. With a suppressor and the gas off, recoil becomes as close to zero as reasonable. The balance is weird, though... Very front heavy

That upper is a bit front heavy but this thing is fun.

Alaskan 360 takes the concussion out of the pistol but after 3rds, it's too hot to touch...


Also, I thought the JAKL was a long stroke pistol. An Inverted AK like drive.

I like the 6 ARC so far in gas gun. .223 shoots very well too.

 

[Caveman Jim]

Wow, I just looked that up. It's like the 300 BLK only better.

I too, had to look that caliber up, never hoid of it before…

I admit to nothing.

 

[Caveman Jim]

I've got all the components, 400 bullets, unlimited LC 5.56 brass for conversion and die set for 25-45 Sharps so I'm guessing that I MUST build a Hog Bustin/deer upper.

 

[Wombat of Doom]

.50 Beowulf is my favorite.

 

[Mayberry59]

I like it in 5.56 & 9mm. I've got a 7.62x39 that refuses to feed right. Should've stuck with sks or ak for that caliber.

.50 Beowulf is my favorite.

The only time I've shot an AR in .50 Beowulf, another guy at the range had one on the lane next to me and offered. I was aware of the cartridge and had read a bit about it, but for some reason I had in my head 6.5 Grendel (they're from the same poem, right?) which I had shot before. As you might imagine, the recoil was a little more than I was expecting. I still managed to shoot a pretty decent 3 shot group though.

That's what I have heard and it's the reason I haven't jumped on that caliber in the AR platform. I guess I'll have to find an AK if I want to shoot any.

Go Big with .458 SoCom. It was like shooting a VW in a K-Mart parking lot.
