[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3467264, member: 15054"] I have a friend that builds custom guns and he told me he has built many 5.56 AR's with the palmetto Freedom Stainless kit. Said it was stupid accurate. This was a few years ago and it went on sale and I got 2 of them and buddy got 1. We both built 80% lowers and they fit tight. I have zero issues with mine or the wife's. Buddy rough housed his and bent the charging handle somehow. Other than that they have never had any issues and they shoot excellent. I played around with some Bench Mark powder and 55gr V-max for my buddies Palmeto 5.56 he built. It is a 1:7 twist stainless Freedom kit. and his 80% lower. Here is the 5 shot group at 100 yards with a $99 nikon 3-9x40 scope on it. The 5 shot small holes are his rifle with me shooting with a front bag for a rest. Group size measures .611" center to center. 24.6gr Benchmark cci 450 primer and flat base 55 Vmax no cannelure and no crimp. FC cases annealed and fully prepped. These were shot from the magazine a plastic Pmag. So not any single loaded long seated stuff here. This is his hunting rig and needs to act like it. I think we were into the builds for under 380 bucks without the scope. That group was shot as quick as I could get back on target. [ATTACH=full]181994[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
