ARAK Upper To Go Into Production In Early 2013
From Guns.com:
The AR part is that it’s made to work with AR-15 lowers, but the upper is built around a long-stroke gas piston system like those used in Kalashnikov rifles. It also draws from the FAL deck with the type of adjustable gas regulator it uses.

Gun Digest: .223 vs 5.56
From Gun Digest:
To a whole lot of shooters, ammo is ammo—if it fits, it shoots. These shooters tend to be the guys with seriously tired, worn, or even busted firearms. They also tend to focus on the wrong thing; you know, the guy who scrubs the brass marks off his ejector lump, at least until one day his rifle stops working or breaks into many pieces.
Which Is Better, 6.8 or 300BLK?
From thetruthaboutguns.com:
The 6.8 SPC and 300 BLK cartridges were designed for two very different jobs. 6.8 SPC was designed to be a longer range cartridge, while 300 BLK was designed to be a shorter range cartridge that worked well with a silencer.
I get this a lot, actually. And its a valid question — what makes 300 BLK so much better than the other calibers available for the AR platform? And is it actually better? So here’s the truth…
It depends on what you want to do.
I’m going to break this into three categories, encompassing everything a shooter should consider when choosing a caliber: performance, compatibility and availability.
Gerber MP 600 (Sight Tool)
Gerber has added a front sight adjustment tool for the AR platform, to their MP 600.
Daniel Defense: Build Your Own AR
From Gear Scout:
Using their new online build tool, you can build a complete DD AR or just an upper. The website lets you point and click your way through the selection of barrel length, gas system length, hand guard, muzzle device, sights, bolt carrier group and fore end grip. At the end of the process you can order your gun, print a parts list and even get an image of your gun to share or use as desktop wallpaper while you wait for it to arrive. Daniel Defense tells me their goal is to ship custom builds within a day of receiving the order.
