Do you have any ARs (or other firearms) you use for steel ammo, or as beaters?

<div>Playing around with my Stag Arms .308. One of the things I like about
this one is this is primarily a steel shooting .308. By that I mean I
shoot cheap steel ammo out of it. Don’t hate me, but its the only way I
can afford to shoot .308. Stag has a lifetime warranty on the barrel,
so if and when I shoot it out, I’ll just get it replaced. Playing around with my Stag Arms .308. One of the things I like about this one is this is primarily a steel shooting .308.

I’ve got a Daewoo DR200 hybrid that never stops! My Tactical Solutions 22LR build has yet to be cleaned in 12 years and is running smoothly, somehow.

Very nice!

I have shot steel out of my lone AR, it’s a basic Spike’s Tactical that I rarely clean. I’d shoot it more, but the wife doesn’t want to shoot it due to its weight. It has a quad rail on it, and so it’s “too heavy” for her. So if I bring it, she just sits and watches instead of shooting – and that’s no fun for her! Steel ammo might be a little harder on the components, that’s okay. But if I do shoot steel, I have to drive to an outdoor range about 45 minutes away and pay $$$ to do so. So there’s no cost savings for me. I have to shoot brass at the indoor range where we’re members.

If your wife doesn’t like the weight of that AR send me a PM. I have a pencil barrel in stock and I have built those before for ladies to lighten up the front of the weapon and make it easier to wield. Here is a link to the last one I did.

Here are some pictures of it.

Thats rough, if you were a neighbor I would swap the rail out for you, its typically an easy job. Thankfully I’m on enough property to have 2 steel ranges, and I’m working on a Hogans Alley with steel as well. I don’t think I could ever go back to shooting on public ranges, there are just too many idiots (and their unsupervised children).

I simple optic might be a cheap bipod, that way the weight wouldn’t matter.

Funny though, she’s shot my AK and liked it LoL!

My Iwi galil ace in 308 loves the 150 grain Tula shoots sub moa out to 600 yards with it . It hates my 168 match handloads so I shoot almost exclusively that in it .

These are my beaters. The AR has a dpms lower, and I don’t even know what the upper is.
