5R Resources

With all the interest in the Remington Milspec, I figured I'd put together a resource page with two parts. First, links to specs, history, and any information I've been able to find to date. Second, a list of any current rifles I can find with 5R barrels. I'd love to add additional comments, anecdotes, and details anyone else has, so post a comment, and I'll make sure it gets added.
