Grand, do you the answer to my question? What I am doing is building a regular AR in 300 BO with a normal 16" barrel. My plan is to purchase a suppressor for the 300BO and an adapter to fit the SBR I'm currently waiting on the stamp. Could I purchase abother 300 BO barrel to fit on the sbr that has the stamp without purchasing another stamp? I'm assuming since the sbr is based on the lower their shouldn't be anything wrong with that.

I think that may be in reference to prior to receiving your stamp. Yo can't mock up the firearm legally. Here is an interesting thread that I came across.

Seems to be some confusion but the ones that seem to know what they're talking about seem to think you can have multiple uppers with different calibers and lengths without any notification to the ATF.

Here was a letter sent to someone by the ATF that addresses this exact question.

I'm pretty sure we listed multi-caliber on the paperwork and the lower us stamped multicaliber.

I could use the one can on multiple weopons correct? You mean that each can has to have it's own stamp?

I missed the first part of that question. Yes, you can use the same can on multiple firearms. It has it's own serial so it's not limited to use on one single firearm.

Think about this guys, these are the hoops gun owners have to jump through to be "legal." We all know criminals couldn't care less. So what's the goal of gun control and regulations again?.....

And gun control advocates would have all firearms regulated the same way as SBR, SBS, MG, and suppressors are. Long drawn out approvals and applications. Sometimes over a year to wait on your permit/stamp.

So, I was going to take my new 20" barrel AR 15 out today to test and sight in. The rain is going to force us to push it back to Friday. Anyway, I was thinking about putting a bipod on it for sighting it in and then for what it's made for, long distance target shooting. Anyone have any suggestions?

Harris makes the best bipod.

Check out LaRue Tactical for their selection.

As promised, here is my report on the Warlock system... Finally. The rain held off so we went after all today. I got to test both guns and then sight them in at 25 yards.
I tested the 223/5.56 warlock system first. It fired like any other AR-15.
I then quickly swapped it over to the 7.62x39 and re-sighted it. I have a red dot on the upper, anyway it was dead on and it tore the center of the target out (30 rounds) from the bench. I then moved to free hand and pretty much the same results. minus a few mechanic hiccups, (jerking he trigger).
Over all, I an say I've very very pleased with the warlock system.
Now for my long rifle, I love the Nikon M223 scope. Once I got that dialed in It was a dream to shoot. I only got to shoot 25 yards, we were running out of light. We are planning to shoot it soon at 200 yards. I'm really looking forward to seeing how it performs. Over all I'm very pleased with both my builds. The picture below is from the 20inch rifle, 25 yards 30 rounds.

So the AK round fed and functioned well?

Question, I found a bcg that says it's NATO full-auto profile. What does that mean and will it work in a standard AR?

Short answer: yes it works in a standard AR.

Long answer: my understanding is that NATO means it is designed for a 5.56 upper assembly, full auto profile means that it can be used in the full auto M16 or M4. It's essentially milspec. It doesn't actually make the firearm full auto.

Thanks. I knew it wouldn't make it full auto but I was curious as to whether it would work in a semi auto. I need a couple of bcgs and found some less than the normal bcgs. I did some googling and it appears they will work fine.

Full auto BCG tends to describe the design rather than the functionality of said object:

With a lighter BCG, the timing can be off and cycling could be affected.

And FTR, there is no such thing as a "NATO full auto profile."

I think the NATO may have referred to the caliber. I truncated the copy and paste and dropped the 556 in front. So is your recommendation not to use the full auto version? I can save a few bucks by using them if you think they'll function ok.

Just the opposite, I recommend not using anything but the FA BCG.

I don't even know half of what some guys do. I just know what's worked for me in the past and what the AR family was designed around. And if you don't go cheap, it ends up working well for you.

Too many internet commandos will screech about how "unreliable" the AR is. Well, that's because they mainly are full of it and don't take care of said rifle. Or use cheap parts. Or try running it dry. A lot of reasons the platform won't work as well, but it gets blamed on the design overall instead of what typically boils down to operator error in some form or another.

The AR loves oil. As an old instructor once told me, what the rifle doesn't want, it'll spit back out. And that's been a pretty good rule of thumb for me in the long run. Oil it, run decent ammo through it and it'll work just fine.
