Wouldn't mind having a 37mm clone M79 like FTF industries makes so I can shoot chalk or whatever less lethal rounds don't trigger the destructive device act. Always loved the M79, on a side tangent, longer ranged than the M203 that came after, and still in use in some places due to its simplicity and utter reliability. Pic of the 37mm replica included
I was thinking of building one of these, but they cost quite a bit for the novelty of P90 mags
i didn't know this exists, thanks for the laugh
since it's genericized to try to fit multiple dovetail profiles, either try to adjust the tension screw for the clamp, replace the screw, or use shims. shims are the armorer's method to tighten a dovetail (or well as weld a bit of additional material that can be dressed down on the oversized part). AK's do not have as much standardized fit parts as an AR.
Or the cost of ammo.
Duder, just spend the shekels on the rsregulate Mount.

I mean, I can appreciate the technical skills to make such a hybrid that shouldn't exist function.... but holy shit.
And now for something slightly less autistic: An AR-18 w/ factory optic & foregrip.

If 5.7 wasn't so expensive, I'd consider it as a first AR (still thinking about taking a PSA and modding it into a 350 Legend Frankenstein). I like the concept, as the cartridge is capable of hitting 200 yards, and it'd be nice to fit something like a ACOG, which is perfect magnification for such a range, on a well balanced rifle such as a AR chassis 5.7 sprayer. It may be a buck a round, but imagine the pure sex of plinking with one of these- practically no recoil, plenty of range, still has some measure of penetration due to a 16 inch barrel, the thing sounds like heaven
i've shit on sterling slugs in this thread but as far as cheap bulk slugs for just the range go they're alright. luxor 12ga slugs are a little better but iirc they're a little more expensivr and hard to find.
Get a KP 15 lower and drop an upper on to it. I personally wouldn't touch S&W AR's and the same goes with Shitington, Ruger and Springfield.
Don't know anything about S&W AR's but there are tons of good mid levels companies you can get something solid from for 1K. You might be able to get slightly better if you're willing to assemble it yourself.
It's pretty hard to go wrong with ARs since everything is so standardized and the market is positively huge. Ruger and S&W both have perfectly good options that will come in well under a grand, to say nothing of places like Aero, PSA and the like. Just decide whether you want a fixed front sight post or a free floated handguard and you'll find plenty of stuff. Once you have the rifle, basically everything single part can be replaced or upgraded as you find out what you like and don't like about it.
Also, a quick shout out to picatinny gas blocks as something I'd recommend against - since they aren't in line with the rail on the upper, you have to buy silly gas block height front sights.
