I got an AR57 upper for just under $600. They work well and look good and i love the way the ejection is out the mag well. Easy to collect brass since all i need to do is put a bucket below where i shoot. As for as recoil, its is almost like a 22LR. its good and fun for the ranges that i shoot it at (up to 100yds) and never had a problem with reliabilty.
The downsides to the rifle is that mags are expensive, and a fast mag change is impossible. Also if u use an optic, it cannot go forward of the receiver or you cannot change mags and ammo availability is not like a 223. Summing up, i like mine and i will keep mine but it wont be the only AR in my stable. |

The AR57 is pretty cool. I was really interested in it so that I could run my 5.56 silencer on it. The unit I shot ran well. And you can shoot pistol gongs without penetrating them unlike regular AR ammo.
The downside is that the ammo is a little on the pricey side. The deal breaker for me was that they refuse to sell a carrier that will work with an auto sear. If I was going to plunk down 700 bucks for this thing, I damn well want to be able to throw it on other guy's full auto guns with my silencer.
