Ok, I got the idea from "Rail" in his thread "AR build in 30-30".
But it got me thinking that the 35 Remington has a semi-rim and so it is not handicapped like the 30-30 in trying to adapt it to the AR platform to it.
Would the 35 Remington work in an AR platform? I don't really have an answer as to why it is necessary other than the previous thread by Rail was in my mind a cool idea.
A couple of reasons I would like the idea is I love the 35 Remington. It is a real thumper on deer. Brass is easy to find (not as cheap for sure as 30-30 but still reasonable). Factory rounds are easy to find as well.
This is just a what-if I could thread. I am not looking for other cartridges that I know to be "better" or more reasonable or whatever. Just wondering COULD it be done not whether it SHOULD be done.
