Hunter’s rifle is in the hands of the FFL and on its way. Feedback: Thomas G:  Thomas wrote in to encourage you to contact your legislators and let them know what you think about the ATF’s possible ban. Gunrunr82:  Man, so awesome to hear this episode with FN. I'm a huge FN fan myself. Started with the purchase of my FNX9 and my latest purchase was the SCAR 17. Anything with their name on it is of interest to me. Could listen to this episode a dozen times. Hunter C:  Thanks for the heads up Mr. Snyder. I'll be like a kid on Christmas eve till I fill out the paperwork and get it home! I look forward to seeing what it can do on the range. I'll make sure to send you an update after I test it out. Thanks again for the opportunity to win this gun, and please let Brownells know how thankful I am for their generosity in sponsoring this giveaway. Tom J:  Hey Reed, Any word on when the AR15 podcast is going to do a show on the 80% lowers. Once again great show and keep up the good work. Thomas G:  Hi Reed, JW & Anthony, Thanks for your feedback on my question about sight for my SBR. I understand that sight radius is not that great on SBR I am not looking for a long range rifle, I have better AR's configured for that.  As I had no experience shooting an SBR I am thankful to get your feedback.  I was thinking the XS big dot sight for point shooting out to 100m, thanks for sharing the info on the review before I spent the $130 for them.   When I built the SBR I had envisioned it would be for home defense, using it some fighting rifle training and shooting out to a max of 150m. Eventually doing some suppressed hog hunting.  Having said that what is your opinion on size of red dot should I utilize for close target acquisition and out to 150m, the 2 MOA or 4 MOA? The only real experience I have with a red dot is the 4 MOA Vortex Strikefire just shooting paper from 25m to 100m and occasionally shooting 8 inch steel at 100m 200m and 300m from a sitting and standing position. On another note I heard some snickering when you read my inquiry into talking about other chamber offerings.  I thought it might be interesting to hear from a guest that might have experience in those calibers.  I first started reading about 300 BLK and got caught up in the hype. So I built the first of my many AR's in 300 BLK in 2013.  (I now think I would have been better off staying in 223/5.56 but going with a 77gr since I don't shoot suppressed yet)  Before I spend money building the next fad I would like to see what others think of their AR's in other not so common calibers and what they are using them for. I attached the photo again of the SBR with 10.5" barrel.  Next pic will have a Aimpoint but waiting on your discussion on 2 MOA vs 4 MOA. Kevin C:  I have learned a lot about AR's listening to this podcast,
