Playing with #650 paracord

I decided today that my ar needed more green on it. I have about 18 feet wrapped up on the mag and about 10 foot on the buffer tube.

650 pound or 550?

That's what it is marked anyways.

Where did you get that at? I have a couple rolls of 550 cord. Are there more strands inside?

650 isn't as strong as 550.

If you decide to do it do not use more than 2 wraps on top of each other or your charging handle will not clear it.

I got the idea from seeing guys do it to there ar pistols.

I like it, and can see it on the AR pistols, but for the rifle, you lose the adjustability of the stock.

I'm a big guy and I only adjust it between the last 2 positions anyway.

Same here, but I'm not the only one that ever shoots it.
