Default AR15 .17 cal ???

This place has them and just the uppers also.[Only registered and activated users can see links. ] Anyone built one? What would be involved in building one? Could the .223 bolt be modified for this?

I'm pretty sure 1Bigggun has a 17 rem or 17-223 ak or ar. Its the same bolt as the 223 so its a simple barrel swap. I've thought about getting a 17 barrel, but keep comming back to for the distance I shoot I really won't gain much over a 223.

The 17 rem, 17-223, 204,223 all use the same case head/bolt.
