AR-15 and black powder

Someone tried it.

    Hmm. Well I suppose someone had to try it. If I were considering using black powder in a semi auto though, the AR would be my last choice. The AK with its loosey goosey piston would be high on the list. Anything that runs on inertia rather than gas would be higher.

    Lyle, already tried running an AK with real black. Had problems with steel cases, was told by some old timers that steel is too hard for black, and doesn’t seal the chamber like brass would. Plus you have to tinker with the springs and piston since running black drops the FPS by at least 1000. Still need to get it up and running for a zombie shoot come Sept.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
