WSSM AR Rifles

[338Shooter]

As some of you may know, I have a 25WSSM bolt gun. Well, I've been eyeballing an AR chambered in 25WSSM since I have all of the components and what. I think it would make a mean varmint gun as well as a deer slayer.

Any of you guys have or tried one? How did it shoot? Are they reliable?

I found the uppers from Dedicated Technology for 800+ which wouldn't be bad and another sight starting at like $2k...ouch. I don't want anything fancy, just plane Jane A2 config with bull barrel and float tube so the 800 dollar DTech upper would probably be the one if they have a good rep. Any info is appreciated.

At the pressures the 25 WSSM operates at it would require the AR-10 platform. Feeding could be a real problem from a magazine because of the sharp shouldered case.

I know this is not true. They use modified AR-15 mags and are on an AR-15 platform.

Sorry man, I don't want guesses here. If you don't have any real data just learn with me.

I think Dennishoddy has one.

I know someone here has one anyway.

I'm pretty sure dennishoddy has one. I'm hoping he will be along sometime today.

That's good. So you know for a fact that a WSSM AR has to be on an AR10 rifle and that the magazines won't feed then?

There is this guys that specializes in this. http://www.dtechsuperstore.com/WSSM page.htm

A friend of mine has a 223 wssm Ar. He has never had any touble with it feeding his reloads. He absolutly loves that gun. Its funny you bring this up. Just the other night I was checking the ones out on Olympic Arms. I like the idea of the 243wssm.

I love all the WSSMs in general. The rounds just look cool, hehe.

Oly makes a .25 WSSM upper for the AR-15 lower as well, but I would not recommend them because of Oly's poor reputation.
