I wouldnt bother fixing them, its gonna get nicked up. Looks good on an AR But if you want to I would use Birchwood Casey Aluminum Black.

Almost all brand name lowers (and even the odd ones) are all in spec. Its rare to get a bad lower, although it does happen Pick the ones with the rollmark you like or the one that costs what you want to pay.

Tula is the worst you can get basically Look for WPA Military Classic Brown or Silver Bear use www.gun-deals.com/ammo to find best prices online DONT BUY TULA AT WALMART. WPA or Brown bear are better quality and cheaper online, even with shipping I wouldnt buy a ton of any Russian ammo...

These would be my first choices... Larue OBR 7.62 $3000 (Uses Pmags I think, which is a big plus) Larue PredatAR $2500 (Also Uses PMags I think) LMT MWS $2500 (Uses PMags) Knights Armament SR-25 $4000 (Haha, I know, but its badass) Novekse N6 (Very Expensive again) Then you kind of have...

69gr Sierra's Black hills is great for any projectile. Try a few of their loads

Whats the general price range? Options are slightly limited under $1500. $1500-$2000 seems to get you something decent in my opinion.

The PSA barrel and BCG are better, the 2 most important things on the rifle. PSA barrel and BCG are MPI/HPT tested, SSA is not PSA is also hammer forged barrel made by FN Plus I hate that gas block rail mumbojumbo

Accurate, cheap ammo, highly customizable, wide price range, reliable, semi auto

Are you sure its 1:7" twist? I thought Oly's were 1:9". It should be stamped on the barrel, maybe under the handguards. But, if you have a 1:7" twist then 68gr Hornady, 69gr Sierra, 75gr Hornady and 77gr Sierra are all great loads, but can be expensive if you dont reload. Privi has 69 and 75gr...

Twist rate is important Is it 1:9" or 1:7" Twist? Do you reload or you want a factory round? Is price an issue? Federal Gold Medal Match loaded with 69gr SMKs are a great factory round that should be good in a 1:9" and certainly good in a 1:7"

Apparently Chilean, or Brazilian And the 75' stuff is supposed to bad and maybe even others. http://www.falfiles.com/forums/printthread.php?threadid=194298&perpage=23

IMI at Wideners is better than either, and cheaper Use www.ammoseek.com to search for online ammo

Go with Palmetto State Armory, the prices are close to the lower tier guns, but quality is extremely good. Tons of choices too

so much bad info in this thread.... Hornadys cases are lacquer coated (Bought from Barnaul, (Brown bear Cases) They are for people who want to train with quality ammo, but save some money. They have very good bullets and power, so they are accurate, they just save money on the case/primer Its...

use ammoseek.com Cheapest non corrosive ammo is about $0.21/rd Wolf from J&G Sales Russian surplus is cheaper, but usually corrosive (Yugo from AIMSurplus is $0.18/rd)
