5.56 vs. 7.62

[Sinister]

9mm +p is enough

5.56 & 7.62 are rifle rounds, hero.

but then there is the chance you'll have to look him in the eye

Ahh, the old "you use a gun because you are spineless" argument.

Indeed

That line, like every other line in that post

Was a joke

Lighten up dude...

we were goofing about spoons and ladles.

What's up?

Toes cold?   

[He Man]

have you checked that intermediate round the SPC. I think its 6.3mm or something.

If were talking recreation, and were talking .308 not the soviet AK 39mm round, the choice is obvious, but .308 is $$

I know ... just f'n with ya.

Toes aren't cold, but my trigger finger is.   Gawdamn -22 right now... better than the -31 this morning.

[Big Troubled Bear]

During the Angolan war the both sides lost and they both used both rounds

[Holden]

Problem is in the bullet, not the cartridge. Start using hollow points...

[Slag]

I like them both.  Black Hills in 175 for the .308 for me    My Accuracy International is a big fan of it

6.8 SPC supposedly has 80% of the stopping power and 50% of the recoil of a .308.  At least according to the Stag Arms catalog.

Damn, ammo is expensive now.

Just got the parts I need to finish my M4 style rifle build in 5.56.  Cant wait to see how it fares at the range compared to the LAR8.  Cant wait to look that bullseye, in the eye.

I haven't done much reading on the SPC round, other than to hear that people like it.  My issue would be availability of ammo.  I like the idea of being able to get access to mass amounts of NATO-issue ammo.

Was that you that posted several months ago about the Stag group buy minus the lower receiver on AR15.com?

Im with you.  I also have a huge problem with shelling out 40-50 cents per round.

Yes, I ordered November 11 and it got here yesterday.  Current wait is in the 20-25 week neighborhood.  GB ended Jan 10th.  I think he's putting together another after the SHOT Show with a slight price increase.

Everything seems to be mating up perfectly. Stripped DPMS lower, Stag everything else.  Gotsta buy a couple punches so I can put it together this weekend.

Thanks for posting that back then.  I meant to thank you then, but that section went the way of the dodo and I couldn't remember who it was that mentioned it.

I ordered mine back in December, but the wait was already to the 20-25 week mark when I got to it, so I still have quite a while.

I picked up a RRA lower off gunbroker.com a couple of weeks ago for a pretty good price, so I'm all ready for it when it arrives.
