Ok, given the extremely low prices of these things at the current time, I may be in the market for one. Primarily its use will be killing paper, and a SHTF piece. I reload, so ammo cost isn't really an issue. I know absolutely nothing about these things. I don't THINK I am into the .300blk but should I be?
I have some questions, but I am sure there is lots that I am missing so feel free to chime in with any info that isn't necessarily in my questions.
1. Are all 223's able to shoot 5.56 and vice versa?
2. I have heard that cleaning them is a pain. How true is this?
3. Budget is around $6-800. Give me some models to consider in that range. I can go a little higher if the quality is there but I do not need a match grade rifle.
4. How hard is building one and What tools are required?
5. Cost savings on buying vs. building?
6. I've only reloaded for pistol. How much different is rifle reloading?
7. Twist rate-whats the diff?
Help me decide if I want to go this route or just spend that $ on a Ruger Super Blackhawk in .44 to hunt with. I'm leaning toward the SBH honestly, since I already have tons of components for reloading for it, but the cheap prices on AR's I see have me wondering if I should buy 1 while I can.
Thanks.
