    Thats pretty cool, I always like those and thought about buying one a few times but couldnt convince myself due to the cost comparability of 17 HMR and 5.56 (well before recent events)

    We certainly need a range report.

    Awesome! I have been interested in one of those.

    2A Sales has one of AA's complete 17hmr rifles with the same upper shown above. When I looked at it at the shop it was obvious that AA had MEGA make them the upper. Its one of MEGA's monolithic uppers with AA's info engraved on it instead of MEGA's. Looks very nice!

    Ha! Of course they do, they always have something I want. Not sure I want it as a complete rifle though. I still need a CZ 455, been missing 17HMR since I sold mine.

    Can you please report back as soon as you get this to the range. I have been wanting a 17HMR upper.

    Someone told me there was an issue with 17 HMR in a Semi Automatic. Was this a specific rifle or does it give problems in all Semi Auto's?

    Because of the high case pressure of the 17HMR. There are only 2 factory semi-autos I know of, the Alexander Arms and the Volquartsen TF-17. They have been purpose built to handle them, instead of a normal 22LR being converted to use 17HMR.

    I think my brother is taking out to shoot this weekend.

    If he does I will report back or report back when it gets shot.

    The mags that came with it are 10 round mags.
