WOW!
I didn't know there were so many.
I saw a .308 AR before but the magazine port looked longer.
I guess once I get my lower built I will have to see how many uppers I can collect.

And that would be an AR10 not an AR15.

10mm, 7.62x25, 50ae, .40 S&W, .357sig, 17rem, .22lr, .30 carbine, .458 socom, .45 bushmaster...

Just about anything that is short enough to fit in the mag well has been stuffed into an AR. I know I am missing a bunch of cartridges...

.21 Genghis (5.45x39mm) -- it always gets forgotten/left out.

(.17 Rem. usually does -- kudos, yekimak!
