    AR platforms in calibers other than 5.56

    The AP4/M4 profile barrel will not be as accurate as a standard barrel. IMO, the only reason to get that profile is to mount a grenade launcher, it's useless otherwise.

    Would a 1974 Winchester 94 be collectable?

    For Winchesters, 1964 or earlier are the guns that command a premium price.

    Remington to introduce an AR15 variant.

    http://www.remington.com/products/firearms/centerfire_rifles/model_r-15_VTR.asp So far they only list 204 and 223. I would have expected one chambered in 6.8 SPC.

    30/30 Handloads

    One more vote for the FCD, and case length is important. I've also narrowed down my loads to Hornady #3035 on Winchester 748
