I want a 10mm AR. I know Olympic makes one, And I will buy one one day when one comes by at a great price. But it would have to be at a GREAT price...Just not at all practical, But would be cool...

.204 Ruger would be my first choice, then a 6.5 Grendell.

Let's see... the .308 is available as an AR10 (on my "to get" list) and I got a 9mm AR for indoor range fun, so.....

.45ACP Too bad we don't have a Canadian Distributor for OLY. They make an Upper I'd love to own being a confirmed 45 nut. Not really into the "Space Gun" Berretta Storms.

That would make the 45 collection complete.... 1911, XD, wheelie gun and someday an AR!

Midway has Wolf brass-cased 6.5 Grendel for $11/box. You can get the AA stuff directly from AA (for more money, of course).
