Only have a 10.5" 5.56 pistol in the Arsenal, sold my 16" upper to get some other projects finished. Have a stripped lower and want to put something together, which should I go with ? I am stuck behind enemy lines in the Unconstitutional State of Connecticut so I am limited

Short 8" 300blk for the mf win!

You'll be able to get rid of your 10.5 to fund another project soon

8" BLK. I parted one up that get's 1.25 MOA with Blacktips. Not too shabby in my opinion.

18 inch, more ultility with that set up as dmr, 3 gun, shtf rifle. You have a 10.5 you can use for HD so why get another short set up. 300 black out is cool but you can keep up with one ammo if you go 18.

Blackout.  Throw some Barnes 110s in that gun for some pretty mean SD/HD.

That being said, I'm planning and building a few 18 and 20" 5.56 guns right now.  I've got the 8" Noveske 300 sitting in the safe so I think I'm covered there.

My 18" 5.56 if my favorite rifle, including a 8.3" 300 blk.

I didn't get in to 300 blk until I had 5.56 covered.

Both! 9" .300BLK Upper for your pistol lower and a 18" 5.56 upper for your new lower!

This.

I'd probably do the 18" first though.

I've got several 18" guns that I shoot regularly.  My 8" blackout barrel is sitting in a drawer, I'll put it back together eventually.

Easy.  I love my 300 BLK, but my 18" 5.56 is my go to rifle for basically everything.  If you have to pick one or the other, go 5.56.

the only point of the gun is a shart barrel with subs,

Blackout fan here but I agree. As short as possible and as quiet as possible is what makes it so fun to shoot.
