Calling an AR military surplus is like calling a a countersniper scope a military over run optic.
Where can I buy some of those Military surplus selective fire AR's?
Well that's why they should be in the factory rifle forum. Oh wait, I built mine so it should be in the special projects forum. I bought a lower that is registered as a pistol so that one belongs in the Wheelguns/Pistols/Hand Cannons forum. Unfortunately I have to fill out a second form that goes to the PA State Police when purchasing a handgun. In the eyes of the law it's a handgun, not a rifle. Ahh screw it, I will just post in the military rifle forum since that makes the most sense.
And that encapsulates the argument for a subforum perfectly.
Now perhaps I am off to browse the blackpowder paper patch forum, because I am interested in them and don't know enough to even ask a question yet much less search for anything specific. Good think I have a titled forum to go to to find out about them, because I am sure they are fascinating and I like learning about all things firearm related.
"Is all this REALLY necessary?"
If you run across some do let me know. There is lunch and big kiss in it for you.
I literally laughed out loud.
Since you built it yourself it should be in the "Gunsmithing Tips & Tricks" sections to show others how to built.
It has already been declared that building an AR is not gunsmithing.
Even if I machined the lower myself, blended the feed ramp area of the upper and machined the ejection port so it feeds/ejects the bigger round, then sent both off for anodizing? Plus assembly.
...and don't forget trueing the barrel extension to the upper receiver...but that's not gunsmithing either...

Now I feel bad, I thought I was a good self taught gunsmith. Does changing barrels, springs and connectors in a Glock count?
oh no...only if you do it on a 1911...I swapped grips on one of my 1911s and that put me in the gunsmith inner circle..than I actually chambered a 400 Corbon barrel to a 1911 slide...

All I see here is complaining and sarcasm. I think this discussion has run its course. Can we get a mod to weigh in and give us some insight, on the behind the scenes on this please ? Is it being discussed or has it been decided?

The ar subforum is at doe run with all the 22lr
If you think your a hammer everything looks like a nail.
The last couple of pages belong in "Humor & Off Topic"

Perhaps the sarcasm being shown by our threads is due to the inability of a moderator actually making a presence known on this thread. Instead we have seen former moderators making their august presence and opinion known from on high as well as folks who choose not to address the issue of modern sporting rifles being considered a viable discussion point.
A discussion past "It ain't gonna happen." is not a worthwhile discussion between adults.

Where did anyone say "modern sporting rifles" are not a viable discussion point?
The point is not the value of the discussion but rather the merits of a separate sub forum for said discussion.
You will learn far more at the casting, loading, and shooting bench than you ever will at a computer bench.
We should all take it to the beyond 5.56 forum which is the largest game of electronic tummy sticks in recorded history.
LL,
Good Lord, you want all to start running around in tacti-cool camouflage and kneepads arguing over the merits of M193 versus M855A ammo?

Look back at the beginning when runfiverun commented on the beginning of the other thread and Waksupi commented at the beginning of this thread of their opinion regarding and these modern rifles.
