    Finally got my Sterling!

    After nearly a year wait, my Form 4 was approved and delivered last week. I picked it up Monday night and shot it for the first time Tuesday after work! Shot it again yesterday afternoon. I think I"ve already got about 500 rounds through it already! It's a DLO tube that was built by a friend...

    AC556's in the news

    Saw a couple of pictures today out of France from When they were chasing the terrorists near Paris. Both have interesting stocks, with a slot cut similar to an M-1 Carbine for an oiler/sling. The second photo of the lone officer has a very fancy looking stock with checkered pistol grip...

    general questions about AC556

    I had mine out last month at a fun shoot. We put some 1/2 scale IPSC targets out to 250 yards. I had little trouble hitting them with my 13" AC on semi. Mine is equipped with an Ultimak rail and a Primary Arms Micro Red Dot. I love blasting stuff up close on full auto but knowing I can hit a man...

    Oddball barrel

    Thanks for the link. It's the NP proof with the arm Holding the sword. It's kind of light and has been painted over so it was hard to figure out until I saw the picture. This is in front of the gas block though, not over the chamber. I don't know of any way to tell if its a GB or an AC barrel...

    Oddball barrel

    I picked up an interesting barrel the other day. Its the full length GB or AC with the flash hider, bayo, and gas block. The odd thing is that everything that wid be exposed has been rightly painted black. On the bottom of the barrel in front of the gas block its stamped .223 1.73" and I think...

    Ultimak rails??

    I've gotten on my AC-556. It does transfer some heat on full auto, but for a house gun, it shouldn't be a problem. Ike's been in for several thousand rounds of full auto and I've only had to retighten it once. Only gripe on mine is that with the 13" barrel I've lost my front sight.

    Group Industries question

    I know that my Vector/Group Ind. SBR has ran excellent once I got the proper extractor in it. For a basic, stamped sheertal gun designed to be turned out quickly, it's a pretty nice gun!

    Topcover optic rail

    A machinist buddy stopped by a coue days ago and picked up a spare top cover I had and a section of rail. We talked it over a bit and ce Up with some ideas. I picked it up from him this afternoon and I must say, I think it's going to work great! He didn't loc tire it so I could pull the section...

    Just found a pic...AC or Mini?

    Definitely cant see a selector. I cant tell if its got a short barrel or if I"m seeing a blued bayonet lug and thinking its the end of the barrel. I like the look of your AC in the full wood stock. Mine lives in a modified ATI with an Ultimak rail. I hogged out the plastic to fit and I have...

    New one in the works

    I realized I never updated this! It took over ten months to get my Form 4 through! Papaerwork screw ups on my part, my deazlers part and even the ATF's end! What a mess! It didn't want to run right when I got it, lots of stovepipes even with factory ammo of all weights. After looking over...

    Just found a pic...AC or Mini?

    I cant tell good enough to tell if this is is an AC or a Mini-14. Looks like a shorter barrel and I"m assuming an ATI stock (definitely an M4 stock) Supposedly taken during a roadblock when they were looking for the bad ex-cop Dorner... Even though it's in CA, it's cool to see the Mini...

    gotta wake this board up I guess... wow!!!!

    My AC is still running strong! I havent been to the range since late last year due to other constraints on my free time. Mine made the trip with me to a buddy's place in MO last October and stayed busy all day. Easily a thousand rounds through it that day! It was a hit, especially with my...

    About time to blow the dust of the AC

    I sent off 2000 rounds of brass to a guy who processed them for me. He was converting some .223 to .300 Blackout, and his price was good enough I shipped him 3K empty pieces of brass. I load on a single stage, so it's taking soem time, but am filling up a couple of .50 cal ammo cans! Doug K

    New one in the works

    Just went and paid for it tonight. Now need to get some pics an CLEO sig and off to the mailbox. Unfortunately, no subgun just yet, but it is a factory Vector/Group Ind. SBR. Didn't even know they made them that way! I"ll be the third owner, unfired by first owner and second owner put four...

    Anyone try a Korean 'Beta' mag yet?

    Way to take one for the team!

    Anyone try a Korean 'Beta' mag yet?

    Shaya, glad you heard back from them. I never did. I've had good service from them in the past, but I didn't know about mags. Anything that will work in the Mini-14 will work in the AC-556. gocargo, I"venever had a chance to try out a snail drum. I saw one come up for sale at a good price...

    Anyone try a Korean 'Beta' mag yet?

    I don't abuse my AC, but I have had it hot enough to melt the plastic upper handguard on my ATI stock and have had no obvious ill effects. I've got an Ultimak on it now so that's not a problem anymore. I don't plan on doing any back to back mag dumps and even if I were, I imagine by the time I...

    Anyone try a Korean 'Beta' mag yet?

    Hmmm...40% failure rate. Don't really like thos odds! Guess I'll just buy three more factory 30 rounders and call it good! Thanks, Will! Doug K

    Anyone try a Korean 'Beta' mag yet?

    So how many did you order and how perfect were they? ;-) Looks like I may have to cough up some cash and try one out. I emailed CDNN to ask about their return policy on junk mags, but haven't heard back from them. My AC is aparrently one of the few oddballs that will feed 100% from about any...
