[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1430223, member: 12995"] AR platform rifles tend to eat up the ejector lip of the brass leaving rough spots on it, after a few firings, the rim can become quite chewed up and unusable. If you decide to go with an AR10 in .260, but a brass-catcher and you will see what I'm talking about. If you want one just to cheaply plink around with and keep for home defense, and for your wife to shoot/plink with, then I would stick with an AR15 chambered/stamped in 5.56. You can shoot .223 in a 5.56 chambered rifle, but it's not recommended the other way around, so if you want to shoot commercial .223 and cheap milspec 5.56 ammo, get a rifle with a barrel that's stamped/chambered for 5.56 NATO. Factory loaded 5.56 ammo is cheap, brass is cheap, bullets are cheap, and recoil is non-existent. So, if brass gets chewed up after a couple loadings, you can toss it and it's no real loss. I cannot recommend Diamondback rifles or handguns... If you're looking for inexpensive with good quality, I would go Aero Precision, Spikes Tactical, or BCM (Bravo Company Manufacturing). Or, you can buy that LWRC DI that I linked you to. It will be the most reliable of all, and has features that rival most $2,000+ AR's. [/QUOTE]
