eeyore Posted September 17, 2013 Report Posted September 17, 2013 today I took a couple of AR's on trade....One is different and not like others! a AR-57! until yesterday when this guy called, I had never even heard of such a thing, that's not saying much as I see and learn new things every day. but this thing is different enough...I think I like it!
techmike Posted September 17, 2013 Report Posted September 17, 2013 Interesting, what do you think of the FN 5.7×28mm? I will look forward to a range report!
eeyore Posted September 17, 2013 Author Report Posted September 17, 2013 I really do not have a opinion or for that matter any real knowledge of the round, I know when I googled it, there was plenty of discussion about how many felt it was a lessor round compared to the 223/5.56 and questioned its use in a AR platform...but then a quick trip to You tube resulted in a couple of videos of guys having fun shooting the AK 57, and that's what I am about. Having fun shooting. The paper, spinner, gong and other assorted targets I shoot at probably really do not care what I shoot them with! So...its something different, looks like fun, adds a new toy to the toy chest, will probably go bang when I pull the trigger and is now a new member of my growing "Family" (as asmurff calls it!) Once I find some ammo for this thing, we will give it a whirl!
imschur Posted September 18, 2013 Report Posted September 18, 2013 awesome!! I considered the AR57 for a while. The cost of the ammo put me off at the time.
Microgunner Posted September 20, 2013 Report Posted September 20, 2013 We had an AR-5.7 in stock a while back. Very cool upper.
eeyore Posted September 20, 2013 Author Report Posted September 20, 2013 We had an AR-5.7 in stock a while back. Very cool upper. I think that's what I like best about it, its just different! But it is also looking like it will be a exercise in patience to come up with enough ammo for it at a reasonable price, and reading on the net, that seems to be the biggest complaint, cost and now finding ammo. there is a bunch on gun broker. &p cents to about a buck a round. I'll be holding out for .45-55 cent a round stuff!
eeyore Posted October 11, 2013 Author Report Posted October 11, 2013 found a batch of Ammo! Cabela's got some in! Will be interesting to see if it stays in stock! No chance to go shoot it yet.
94tonka Posted October 11, 2013 Report Posted October 11, 2013 EAGLE EYE GUNS has some 5.7 for .74cent a rd ! the ar57 is cool you can hollow out a AR mag and use it as a shell catcher ;) it will hold 25 or so empty shells . having 50 rds on top is badass & mags are only 25.99 @ brownells . :thumb:
