Kicking around building a 19-223 upper, just wondering if anyone has gone this route before.  I've talked with Jim Calhoon a couple times about doing a bolt gun but think I would like to do an AR.  Thanks.

There are .204 uppers out there already.

Jestertoo,

    I already have one in .204 Ruger, just looking to build one in 19-223.  Thanks.

A friend of mine built one on a contender years ago and it seemed to shoot quite well.  Not sure about bullet choices compared to 20cal nowadays though.

Yes I had a customer want one done. He had white oak armament do the chambering I sent them my reamer and I did everything else. The problem we ran into was mostly with feeding because all we had for bullets was the hoolow points and tip would jam into the barrel extension. It would probably work just fine with the new saber tip bullets.
