RRA has a sweet new 7.62-39 at that uses AK mags

I saw that, its a very intriguing rifle with a dedicated lower. Could be a good option for lazi since he's considering passing on the lower group buy. That was the only reason I didn't mention it earlier.

that one looks good but more than im trying to spend and as SP pointed out, has a dedicated lower. one of the big pluses of the AR platform is interchangeable uppers and parts.

man the upper i was going to get from bcm is out of stock all ready..... i wish i had set up my debit card faster but i didnt have the time.

the one upper i liked was in stock for a few hours today. but one with the voltor mur and rail and barrel is in stock tonight. they sure have a fast in and out with their upper groups.

so as i get closer to my ar upper buy from bcm i have it narrowed down to two uppers

one has the voltor mur. DD light rail. and the bcm 16inch cold hammer forged barrel.
the other is the same but with the bcm SS410 barrel.
they both cost the same money.

i was looking online and it seems guys are saying that the stainless barrels are not holding up well past five thousand rounds. but the CHF barrel can easly go to 40000 rounds. Is this true......... do the stainless barrels give out that fast.

the reviews for the bcm CHF barrels are saying that they can get .75 MOA groups with good ammo.
so is it worth giving up barrel life for a 1/2 or 3/4 tighter group.

i really would like to know how long the stainless barrel really will last.

I was very close to getting a stainless barrel, but I went with a chf barrel for that very reason. It just makes sense the stainless wouldn't last as long since the chrome plating inside the chf barrel is harder than the unplated stainless one.

i guess i expected more from the stainless.

I think stainless is great for a hunting rifle, and 5000 rounds is A LOT for a hunting rifle.

this wil be for ground hogs coyotes zombies shtf and two and four legged varmits.

okay so today when i was out and about I stoped by a local gunshop to ask about ordering a lower.
i was told that you have to be 21 to buy a lower for an AR...... wtf right at eighteen you can buy the whole freaking gun. i guess i need to see if this is true. the had a camo dip stripped upper and lower set buy stag for sale at a good price.

looks like the law was passed lately that says the the lower is not a rifle yet and that makes it a class two which means that it cant be sold to anyone younger than 21. I am so bummed out right now.
