#1 Built several AR's. Easy. Anyone can do it. Do several and you know more than that Mr. Knows Everything you encounter at any range or gun show.

#2 You can say whatever you want about 5.56 vs bigger rounds. In the field, I'd rather get an AR back into battery than a Garand or M14. And, yeah, I have those too.

#3 I suspect 20-30 years from now it might be something else, but logistically speaking 5.56 is a safe bet for you and your neighbors.

#4 Well, I'm sitting on several thousand rounds for my M1A, Garand and SA-58 pistol, but I'm well stocked for the ARs too...

#5 Built a Hawkins .50 cal with my dad many many years ago. It currently hangs in a place of honor in my home bar.

#6 Had that kit, never built it, passed it along. I have several cap n ball pistols, but no flintlock.
