The right shooter, upper, scope, and ammo probably could. I dont know if you could consistently do it with a $500 or less upper. I'm not saying you couldn't.

For $20 more get the RRA from Eagle. Delton has good stuff, but for the price difference I would get the RRA. Just dont buy from Model1.

If it came from Bushmaster with the FS on there, it will be tight. You will probably have to use a barrel vise or an action block. I prefer the action block myself. It's an excellent $40-50 investment. You will use it along with a vise to change your upper receiver config many times over...

Here is my .02. I have seen 16" barrels drive tacks at 100 and 200 yards. Personally I have no experience with them over 200 so I cant say for 300. These were 16" bull barrels. If you are looking for accuracy go with a stainless steel barrel. If you are looking to put a lot of bullets...

You didnt list bolt and carrier. If you go the parts kit route I would avoid Model1sales stuff. Its the lowest quality out there in my opinion, and I speak from experience. If you get a complete parts kit, it will have everything but the stripped lower. The J&T kits are good. If you...

Colt Officer's model. No reliability problems with mine. I like the slightly shorter grip. I am a full size guy and prefer the shorter barrel and grip. To me, it carries easier. That is just me. I carried a full size for nearly a year and I dont think I will ever go back. No problems...

Bad parenting is bottom line on all this stuff. How did religion get brought into this?

Screwdriver or torx driver (depending on grip screws), punch for MSH and a plastic hammer. I seriously doubt she would need anything more. If she needs more than that its probably best left to a gunsmith. That will get you stripped down enough to do a good cleaning and replace some factory...

Buy the NM. The barrel is free floated. Its got a service rifle tube under the standard looking handguards. Also get the two stage NM trigger for your lower. You will not be dissapointed. Their NM uppers can flat out shoot. Lockup on the lower and upper will be tight as well. If you...

$250-275 range I would say as long as its in very good condition (since no box I would say 250). Seems like they are between $300-350 new. Great pistols for the money. I picked a compact up a couple years ago in .45 and used it as my main carry gun. Mags are expensive, but I've had my...

Nice floors..............and Oh, not a bad looking AR

The bayonet lug is a matter of replacing the FSB (front sight base). I am sure they can do it.

A local smith in my town just aquired all the tools to start making 6.5 barrels. I believe he is working on an AR upper (pretty sure its a LMT MRP) for someone as well. There is a group of bench rest shooters locally that it has sparked an interest. He being more of a bench rest shooter, was...

I used winchester soft points when hunting with an SKS. Check your state regulations on legal firearms and ammo. I know in GA you cant hunt with Military ammo. Yeah, you could get into a big debate about Wolf not being military ammo(hollow point, not FMJ), but would it even be worth it to go...

yep, and all that stuff is available. I think part of the problem is people wanting huge amounts of surplus parts and supplies available to the general public. That hasn't happened yet
