    Thanks for your input. I will do so.
    My brother is a retired Chief in the Navy. He has been around guns for all his life. He was in charge of a very large Installation located on the West Coast. Even had the privilege of training many ST. Over his career in the Navy!!
    He has agreed to look it over and assist with any changes etc.
    Thanks for looking out though. I really appreciate it.

    I would find a reputable AR15 specialist that can gauge it properly and make recommendations. Not many people have the resources and know how to do that.

    Clandestine's comment should not be taken lightly.

    Thank you.
    I will be using the Hornaday 5.56 Nato Rounds, I know folks sometimes try to go the cheaper route with the 223 ammunitions but it's not In my nature to be ruthless with firearm safety.
    I also have heard of bad booms stories, when your building your own firearms as well.

    I primarily run the cheap stuff. Bad boom stories typically don't stem from factory ammunition. In fact, I encourage others to leave the cheap stuff...more for me.

    Experts? You mean the "checking headspace ain't necessary" crowd?

    You really can't fix that kind of stupid. Not legally, at least.

    Would you care to elaborate on your findings for me?
    I'm the newbie and the ignorant one here apparently.
    Thank you.
