It all goes back to that Jeff Cooper thing

the one he called "fireplug". Supposed to be a handy stopping rifle of general use. It was based on the .284 Winchester case adjusted to .452" bullets. They did shorten it just a little to make it fit the AR magazines. That is what we know as Hornady's Bushmaster. All you need supposedly to make a AR mag work is a "single shot" flat follower. That is handy.

I bet recoil is indeed a consideration! It has .444 Marlin power and then some! But even the "pistol" version weighs about 6 lbs. I ordered the latest and greatest brace unit, bottom half, they market. It looks like it would mitigate recoil better than earlier designs. I bet a "blade" type brace would be brutal!

I wanted to experience a side charging style but the exact configuration I desire is not offered. I will inquire with the manufacturer what can be done. So far I have fun little collection of AR platform stuff. HBAR in 5.56, 5.56 Pistol Kase built, a 9mm very small pistol version, and the .350 carbine. Roman is into AK stuff and I'm about done with my SKS there. I'm more of a shooter and like the hunting type stuff. I'm not very tactical minded. Of course if you can bust up a pack of running hogs I figure it would manage on some bad types too.
