I got mine today.
Also, not sure everyone is aware, or maybe I got one that is different from all of the others, but the AR556 has a non shrouded firing pin and AR15 style bcg, not a M16 bcg:
I got it Froglubed up and ready for the range.
Yes it has an eagle logo barrel, the the inc barrel.
Since this is a transition model, how much does that increase the value? I did not buy this as a collector gun, I bought it to use. But if it has potential to be valuable, I do not want to do something dumb and decrease the value if it buy...
After shooting it today, I am definitely going to leave it alone. I will just make it a habit to only load 5 with the hammer on an empty. now I just need to get reloading dies to make it reasonably priced to shoot
I just got back from shooting it. 50 rounds of Federal AE 240 JSP. Shot very well, it shoots much better than I can. I was amazed how manageable the recoil was. I am very happy with this purchase.
Thank you for the input. I wanted to make sure I will not damage anything when dry firing. I did not see anything about it in the owners manual that I found online.
I just picked up a new to me 3 screw Super Black Hawk :D
I think I got a pretty good deal. This is my first single action revolver. Based on the serial number, I believe that is was made in 1963.
I will try to post a pic:
I do have a couple questions:
First, is it safe to dry fire this...
