Shooting cheap ammo through a higher quality ar questions - 12/31/14 01:58 PM
I'm not the most avid ar shooter so while i know most all the basics that can be read, I don't have too much experience own one and more importantly putting it through its paces. I squandered my fantasy football winnings on a DDM4 upper for an existing lower based on the belief that if I get a factory built complete upper that is from one of the fancier manufacturer, then I should have a rifle that I can "abuse."
Here comes the point I promise...
By "abuse" I mean i want to be able to shoot all sorts of cheap ammo, up to several hundred rounds in a weekend, as long as I maintain the weapon between outings regularly. Questions:
1. Assume I am only looking into brass so anything else like re-manufactured or whatever is considered fair game. Is there something I should watch out for watch out? I've learned now not all re-man ammo is made the same and I'm looking for long distance accuracy here.
2. Is there is good resource that shows one how to fully maintain a well running AR? I'm imagining something like an instruction video or how to guide for maintaining an AR for someone like an avid 3 gun competitor. Found too many yahoo on youtube and don't feel like watching a bunch to find a decent one.
thanks in advance,
