I wanted to do something special for my sons birthday, so I was thinking he already has some guns but what about a .22lr 3/4 scale ar15 (sp01). Then after shooting a friends 17HMR I was hooked. So here is the upper receiver almost finished (17hmr) and the .22 lr lower. I will cut a new lower and send it out for engraving. Here it is with its big cousin, an ar10 I milled
Of course there is still a lot of work to do on the upper (thread for barrel nut, final contour, ejection door and smoothing the contour of the rear(will be done after lower is cut)
Vz, did you figure out the bolt weight? I was thinking of getting a cheap 22mag or 17hmr barrel and making a bolt for a spare ar15 upper I have collecting dust.
I have the barrel and have turned it to fit. but my jobs have been particularly demanding the last 6 months so no real progress. I know with the economy slow I should be thankful but I am considering quitting one.....
Son is 7 and has a lightweight ar 5.56 he is running but I would like to finish this one up. The 17hmr pressure spike and ruptured cases in a semi have not been 100% solved so i will go with a 22 magnum.
Need help with a compact semi auto trigger design. The mossberg 151 comes to mind
any other?
Im bummed you can not get a 17HMR to work. The gun is awsome still.
