Chucking lead with the Survivalist’s Rifle (and also the forward assist apparently)

It’s a spicy round for an AR. I know a guy who built one out but wanted to interchange his 5.56 lower with no mods.
It never cycled well so he doesn’t shoot it much…..to no one’s surprise.

I'm one of those guys, but mine seems to feed just fine 99% of the time. I went with an 11" upper and it's tons of fun to shoot.

I used to find ammo for mine at Cabela's. Last time I bought some, it was like 1.60/rd. PMAGs work pretty well if you replace the follower. There's a printable one available that works well. I've saved all my brass in hopes of reloading it one day.

I haven’t started reloading yet but plan to when I get my reloading station set up. Components shouldn’t be too hard to get online. I haven’t seen any components in stores local to me tho.

I built a .50 beo bolt gun on an AR platform this year...i would not suggest buying factory ammo. It's definitely more efficient to reload after you get some brass.

Fix your stance I weigh 130 and can run 7.62x39 and .308 frts without the barrel moving at all, spread your legs, bend your forward leg more at the knee and your back leg slightly at the knee and pull tight while leaning forward.

Rifle looks dope
