Getting my hands on a "Ghost gun"

[The Conservative]

I love being able to piss off liberals, and especially those in Mass... can't buy an AR-15 in Mass, but if you make it, they can't say no to it...

I'm just waiting for it and the jig to be sent to me, once I got that I'll be able to mill out the Lower 80 to completion.

I'm working on making this first before going to customize it more towards what I really want... either way, I'm making it for a 5.56 round, nothing amazing, but if this works out well, I can see about getting either a match grade barrel or a sniper barrel for it. I've debated a few times, but I want longish range and still close range ability...

Either way, this will be my first attempt at milling out a lower 80... hopefully it will go well.

Is 5.56 a particularly good caliber for ghost hunting?

I hope this is a tongue in cheek question

And people say you have trouble with sarcasm.

make sure you get a heavy duty barrel, 24 inch with a 1/8 rifling ratio. Good for 62g ammo.

Assburger syndrome.

If you want "longish" and close range at the same time, then just get a scout rifle.

With training and a well tuned gun you can consistently hit a man sized target at 400-500 meters. However, Afghanistan has consistently proven that the 5.56 round is really only has an effective stopping range of no more than 300 meters. The 62 grain round Silver Eagle suggest will help.

Rule of thumb by most firearms professionals is, spend as much on optics as you do on the gun.

I was under the impression it's illegal to mill AR lowers.

Nope, You just can't sell it, or give it to your next of kin in theory... but again, that is if you tell the government you own it as well... otherwise, no one needs to know.
