You mentioned that you will be giving away your AR builds. Is that through the GGR email subscription I could not find one on the AR podcast. Robert ( last name Zack can't pronounce) in Memphis Hey Jake, Great show on AR uppers and lowers only problem is now I can't find ammo to practice with oh well I can just run around the back yard and dry fire and yell bang bang. Seriously no 9mm either so I went another way and bought a 1911, so far plenty of 45 available. It's my first one. Myles: I just wanted to comment about the use of forward assists on AR-15s, I have never and will never use a forward assist for it's intended purpose. Forcing a round into a fouled chamber seems like an incredibly bad idea. However I do use the forward assist for 2 purposes, one, it allows you to silently chamber a round as opposed to simply dropping the bolt which makes a lot of noise. The other purpose? The next time you are out shooting an AR-15 drop your bolt on a full magazine, then extract that chambered round. You will likely notice a tiny dimple on the primer, that is the result of the firing pin bouncing off the primer. This is a slight safety hazard, but I am told that repeatedly removing and rechambering a single 556 caliber round will result in that round becoming unreliable. I have discovered that by easing the round into a clean chamber with a forward assist will not cause this dimple to form. iTunes Review: Outro:feedback@ar15podcast.com Find us on iTunes http://www.ar15builder.com/ Brownells White Oak Armament Geissele.com
