Title: Ar-57
Post by: Jphilly on August 19, 2013, 08:44:10 AM

Anybody here have one? I just found about about it and it seems really neat. For some reason I really like the 5.7 round but dislike all the guns that shoot it (Mostly because of their price) After doing a little research it looks like I can get a complete upper for around $700, but just curious to see if anyone here has any pros or cons about it.

Thanks  :shaka:

cons:  Hard to get ammo, and expensive too...just buy a .22 AR upper...cheaper

Pros: good plinking gun

I have one.

It's a great gun.

Almost no recoil and a 50 round mag.

It's a perfect HD carbine.

You can put a hollowed out P-mag in the lower mag well and it even catches your brass for you.

Ammo is NOT hard to find and it's NOT expensive.

Ammo comes in 50 round boxes and costs anywhere from $21-$29 a box.

That's on par with 40S&W and 45acp.

Thanks for the replies. Ammo isn't a concern I've seen it in a few stores more regularly then 9mm or .22, I just wanted to make sure it functioned fine and has decent accuracy.
