StoneChimney, Tried opening your site last night. I'm still on slow dial up out here in the sticks and I've noticed of late some sites don't work as well on dial up. So maybe I didn't see everything that's on your site.

Something that's been on my mind of late concerning ARs and all the new calibers. All that alum, how does it take the increased beating from more powerful loads? One of my old back east friends claims if you don't have custom stainless which ain't cheap & adds weight; you'll hammer the AR to heck & back in 1500 rounds and begin having problems. Do people use custom stainless actions on ARs or is that just more dreamin?
