If you can find one. B.O.H.I.C.A. has stopped making they're uppers. Once in a great while you can find a used one on one of the many gun forums. The ATF wants to reclassify the uppers as a destructive device. If that happens you need approval and a tax stamp to own one.  I want one also.

Just finished this 358 Herrett AR wildcat. It duplicates 35 Remington ballistics, but fits the AR15 platform, and also cycles subsonics suppressed. I machined the barrel from a Green Mountain blank.

The cases are made from 6.8s right? I'm a big fan of the 35 Herrett!

Yes, 6.8 SPC brass for the 358 H. I'm really liking this one, it's easy to load for and very efficient.

6.5 Creedmoor side charger

Is that one of your bolts? Do you make a left side charger bolt?

Edit - looking for an AR15 left side charger bolt, not AR10.

I can machine a left charger bolt carrier. I would need your upper rec'r as it would dictate where the carrier gets threaded.

Here is mine, eventually going to get a nice scope for it.

Got my 308 under 9lb as pictured with scope and empty mag. Lightened the 18" barrel and the bolt carrier, and using a lighter buffer too.

I don't see an AR in the pic

I found this on a Texas gun forum and thought I would share here for everybody to be aware of. I had a similar thing happen to me back in the 90's but a little different.


Weapon Failure - 10/4/15



All, my father was shooting his AR tonight with my mother. Was pretty much dark, decided to shoot some old tracers he had from a gun show for one last mag. He had a misfire, dropped the mag, racked the charging handle a few times, reinserted mag, squeezed the trigger and BAM. Took some shrapnel to the chin, arm (bicep), and stomach. He says it did extract a round when he racked it, but I don't believe he could visually confirm (dark w/ weapon light only). I am betting money that the round he says misfired - when he racked, the bullet itself stayed behind. Upon racking a new round, the old bullet got pushed deeper, upon ignition of the fresh round, the two bullets impacted and pressure built and traveled backwards due to the blockage. Bolt is now lodged in chamber. Upper was a Palmetto State upper, will find out other manufacturer info when I see him in person this coming weekend, and I will try to confirm my thoughts on the root cause. He is a former Ranger, and while he's tough as nails, he doesn't care for technical details.
 He does shoot .22 through this SBR regularly with a conversion kit, but shot a mag of regular .223 through it with no problems before this mag of tracers.
 Lessons learned:
 Always know your gear and ammo
 Wear your safety gear
 Never train/shoot alone
