[QUOTE="ODAVID, post: 1743022, member: 13431"] Wow you are given great advice (many years of gray hair experience). I have owned several BAR and several thoughts come to mind 1) weight is not light for a 11-18 year old. time will tell if he likes carrying the rifle. 2) Don't need Small based dies just harder to find and not needed. Buy regular dies and load with those,it will work. 3) the free bore distance to the rifling lands is quite a jump so it is very hard to get sub-pinpoint accuracy. I know I tried several things. Granted he is not a target shooter yet but just be forwarned. 4)You could as a suggestion have the barrel ported. This will reduce the recoil but you will have increased noise. Sound deading ear muffs work great and are cheap. 5) let him load some loads to try when he hits the bull-eye after building his own bullet, he will be hooked with memories and achievements. Isn't that what its all about!!!!!!!!!! BEST OF LUCK PASS ON THE TORCH ODAVID [/QUOTE]
