Off Season Lets Talk Guns
Been a while since we had a guns n' ammo discussion.
Some of you are AR shooters Im sure. Im looking at a Colt 6920. Will be my first AR. Picked up a Glock this fall and really enjoy shooting it. Any feedback on that weapon? ![]() Anyone else been in a buy/sell/trade mood with hardware?

That's cool. I have always thought Colt made great firearms so when I was told that it definately surprised me.

So what is the difference between the AR15, M4, Colt A2, etc? They all look the same and seem to be .223 caliber.

Interestingly enough while the AR-15 platform is almost 100% standard the AR-10 platform is fairly fragmented. Part of the reason I got the AR-15 was all of the support. I'm planning to have multiple uppers, 5.56, 22LR, .410, 5.7x28, and likely a .50 WSSM variant(but you have to reload that).

What is 50 WSSM ?
When you jump to bigger cal;s like 243, 308,25-05 ,30-06. AR-15 lowers will not work. You now will need AR-10 lower with an upper in what ever cal you chose. Last edited by LiveSteam; 01-24-2011 at 03:03 PM.. |

![]() It's not out yet currently two groups are working on something similar. The biggest available WSSM wildcat is 358. Delta arms is working on the .50 Hushpuppy. http://www.deltacompanyarms.com/CURRENT_PROJECTS.html A group associated with olympic arms is building either a 458 or .50 WSSM variant. The 458 obviously has better bullet selection, but the .50 will be easier to reload(since you just chop the wssm case for easier brass). Plus the .50 is just sexier! ![]()

I just watched a demo on a M-16 .50 Cal upper on the Military channel the other day. Badass. I have not seen the energy numbers on that particular round yet, but I bet it bring one hell of a whallop. |

the WSSM is the base case that alot of interesting wildcats are fitting in. Actually the 7 WSSM is being used by more and more competition long range shooters. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winches...r_Short_Magnum http://www.olyarms.com/index.php?pag...mart&Itemid=37 http://www.oa2.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=9155

Looks like the 50 WSSM variant(whatever they ultimately call it either .50HP or 50 OSSM or something), should outperform all three of those big bore options.
