Long story short the renters left a 30-06 round in their bedroom, and a .270 WSM in the hall-bathroom.
It inspires me, /k/. I want to build a gun for it. Specifically, an AR pattern gun because I have some familiarity for it and not building bolt-guns. Also there's not much in the Remington-700 80% market right now.
So in this thread I want to talk about weird guns. Not in, weird ergonomics because people be crazy am I right? Weird as in the 9mm AR15, the AK-pattern in 300BO, piston ARs, heck beautiful zip guns can apply for consideration.
KAK has a DPMS style bolt with magnum size and double ejectors. This should be enough to 'grab' the .270. Naturally we're looking at a custom barrel so I assume either an adjustable gas block, a pigtail gas tube (somebody online wrote of using 30" of pnuematic piping for his .300WSM AR10) or Kak, again, has a magnum gas tube, 2" longer than the rifle-length, which would require a custom drilling of the gas hole.
Still, the .270 could share bullets with my .277 WLV pistol I'm in the process of building. Lastly for my OP comments, the last picture. It's from Buffalo and is $50 cheaper than the unanodized glock-compatible 80% AR15 lower. Assuming I can find some decent 30rd colt-style magazines, is there any good reason not to choose colt-compatible 9mm ARs? I've seen a few old, and one new, glock<->STANAGwell adapters, but if I only plan on having one to three magazines would I really save enough to offset the overpriced glock-compatible lowers? Alternately, where's a good place to get inexpensive AR"9" 80%'s ? Tactical****.com has them for $100 with glock-adjustment-parts. Usually, and except when they don't. I'd be really embarrassed to get a package from them anyway.
