Default Scored a 243 AR upper!

I've been looking for varius AR-10 parts since the Noveske lowers became available. I had been toying with the ideal of going to another caliber other than .308 but nothing had been showing up in the places I check.

Well today that changed! A new unfired Armalite 243 upper was posted for sale on the EE and I was lucky enough to be able to make the purchase.

Its' a 24 in ss match upper with free float, chargeing handle and fitted bolt.

Will still have to get the carrier, cam pin, fireing pin, ect.

Now to decide wether to sale my new spare upper reciever that I have.

I'd like to get something other than a 223 or 308 but am in general too much of a cheapskate reloader to watch my brass fly off never to be found. I'd lean towards a 260 Remington. Do you know of any good brass catchers out there that do the job and don't look like a basketball net hanging off the side of the rifle?
