Thanks for the video. I"m new to the forum. This is my first contact. Impressed by his design, I won't build one for multiple reasons. I'm 75, never cared much for an AR-15 in 5.56 x 45mm, until recently I discovered you could shoot much heavier bullets than the common 55 gr. ammo.
So I finally broke down and built and AR-15 with custom wooden stock and it has an 18" 8:1 twist barrel. It actually looks and feels like a hunting rifle. And with Speer 80gr Semi Spitzer bullet and the right load, it is certainly capable of killing a deer and a lot more. I grew up hunting, always conserved the amount of ammo I used. Now, I am in love with my AR. Almost all of my rifles are 30 caliber or more.
I've reloaded since I was a kid, am really enjoying this again.
