".....Remington also developed a new 30 cal AR cartridge; Remington's new 30RAR which is their version of a 450 Bushmaster necked down to a 30 cal. That round isn't even getting to 308 velocity with 125 grain bullets. Look closely at the data and they compare the 308 with a 165 grain bullet to the 30RAR and a 125 grain bullet!"

The issue with 7.62x39 AR's has always been magazine reliability and availability. C-products has figured it out... Finally---and guarantees reliability.
BUT...
Mike Milli of www.dtechsuperstore.com is the pioneer of the WSSM in the Ar-15 platform. He is also instrumental in alternate caliber chamberings for the AR-15 form .17 to .358 chamberings. Not sub-sonics like the SOCOM or the Whispers.
Mike is making/selling a 300/25WSSM wildcat that will perform equal to or greater than the 30-06 fitting into a standard AR-15 lower; with 160-180 grain bullets!! That puts the 308 in the heavy and large AR-10 to shame. The problem is limited magazine capacity with the WSSM cartridge in a 30 round mag body is 8 rounds.
Like everyone els he is back-ordered about a year out.
