Black powder black rifle?

But why exactly would you want a black-powder upper for your AR-15?  I mean, it’s cool and everything but I kind of don’t see the point myself.

    Huh?
    What?
    Why?
    These are the first things that popped into my head after seeing the video.

    Yeah, it is nifty and all, but as you put it, what is the point.

    To see the look on the game warden’s face when he discovers that, yes, that is a black powder rifle. :) (I wish I were clever enough to have come up with that myself)

    Other than that, I’m not sure I’d want to gunk up my lower with black powder enough to do it.

    It would freak the hell out of gun banners. That’s enough.

    “But what is it FOR? you ask. Why, to SELL, of course!”

    So you could use the same lower.
    With that you get the same trigger pull, the same position when you mount, the same sight picture.
    It could be a real fun toy and a good hunting rifle.

    Why? Because it’s even more wrong than getting a steel frame for your Glock!

    I think it’s so more hunters can use their AR for more animals. I live in a state where rifles are illegal for hunting deer. Muzzleloaders are legal. I could use one for deer hunting then.
