357 mag AR upper?

[Riomouse911]

It’s another intriguing, yet expensive and difficult to properly engineer, possibility.

I personally wouldn’t want to have one made since I have a .357 and .35 Remington lever guns already, but I can see the usefulness.

As was stated the .350 legend operates at rifle pressures of 55k psi so it’ll outperform a .357 mags 40k psi if loaded with similar weight bullets and in similar barrel lengths.... it’s supposed to rival (surpass?) .35 Rem ballistics.

Stay safe.

Oh I do so hope Ruger will come out with a version of the Mini in .357! Lord knows we all want and need a one-size-fits-all proprietary everything that costs 2 1/2 X what an AR does AND offers a poor trigger pull. But oh those lovely birch wood stocks with their “walnut” stain! My heart’s all a twitter.

They'd sell all they could make with a banana mag fed 357 and 44mag version of the Deerfield. Put it in Walnut, plastic, laminate, it would sell and sell and sell. And think of all the 357 and 44 mag brass that would be left all over the range. It would be like Xmas!

To a select number of us here and then no more imo. I’m sure when doing research Ruger and others have considered profit margin vs manufacturing capacity and found market research that says it won’t pay. I could be wrong, either way the topic is “in an AR upper” which is far less likely as an industry staple.
