AR-15 caliber list
How about an AR-15 caliber listing challenge?
I'm going to ask each person who reads the thread to add a post with one single factory caliber which is available for the AR-15 and the trade name of an AR or upper in that caliber. Please don't repeat calibers that were already mentioned or list a bunch of calibers in your post. It's OK to count military and civilian calibers as 2 different ones (but please only list one in your post) and its OK to include single shot factory uppers. But no wildcat uppers please unless you know a factory which makes them. For the oddball calibers weblinks would be appreciated. I'll go first with my favorite: 6.5mm Grendel, rifles made by Alexander Arms.

.22LR; Spike's tactical. Maybe a few others. 9mm; RRA, CMMG etc.

So far so good. I don't vouch for the accuracy of this list but this is what I counted so far, though some of the entries are difficult to find on the internet. Who has links? We can only count the .308 series and WSSM calibers if you can name a manufacturer. Sorry.
.20 Practical - Weaver Rifles 22LR - Spikes Tactical 5.45x39 - Smith and Wesson .223 - Remington- DPMS (one maker added by me as common knowledge- there are probably 50 other makers) 5.56mm NATO - Colt 6.5mm Grendel - Alexander Arms 6.8 Remington SPC - Model 1 (Is this the maker or seller?) 7mm TCU - SSK Industries .300 Whisper - SSK Industries .338 Lapua - Bohica Arms .40 S&W - Olympic Arms 10mm - Olympic Arms .45 ACP - Olympic Arms .450 "Thumper" (Is that a proper name?') - Bushmaster .458 Socom (Made by who? Socom?) .499 LWR - LWRC .50 Beowulf - Alexander Arms .50 BMG - Bohica Arms
