Went to the range yesterday, spent the day sighting in and load testing 6 different rifles. Lots of disappointments, but a few nice surprises.

My AR gave me and the shooter nearby a surprise by doubling.

I got 2220 fps out my .375 Whelen Improved shooting the 300 gr. Sierra. Recoil knocked the little Leupold emblem off the side of the scope.

My 30-06 load shoots 180's 100 fps faster than Remington Core-Lokts with no high pressure signs.

The best part was meeting and enjoying the company of two fine gentlemen who shared the range with me.

Discovered the New Frontier Arms 9mm Glock-pattern AR receiver set w/ non-reciprocating, left-side charging knob, and immediately became consumed with black rifle envy.
:drool: :inlove:

That lower looks exactly like the JoeBob (and NFA) Spartan lower. I've seen probably half a dozen or so different "manufactures" that use this lower as their own.

Hmm. Not sure how I feel about a side charging AR... I'd need to shoot one first. It looks odd at first sight.

I like 3 things about it:
  • You can cycle the action while maintaining cheek weld / eyes on target and shooting hand in ready position (if you're right-handed)
  • Back pressure from using a suppressor won't force gas out the rear of the receiver into your face like it would through a standard charging handle opening...or so I think
  • It's something different than a plain-jane AR

It's the price tag that kills me. :frust: :ballchain:

And don't judge me on this part of my workbench.


Keep in mind, that in pistol form, it can stay loaded in your car.

Once it becomes a rifle, it must be unloaded.

Doesn't sound like much, but if you're driving and shit goes south, charging a weapon will be the last thing on your mind... :D

Oh it will stay loaded. It has a 40 pmag and two spare mags in my vest. I just need to get the time to go site it in.
