Saw a video about an mcx rattler with frt as a bear defense option.

I have a stripped lower (ar15 and ar10); can I build something which is rattler-esque?

I’m not a sig fan but the Rattler LT / 3rd gen is pretty awesome
KAK and SLR both sell 4-8” 300blk barrels if you want to roll your own shorty

SLR 5” w/ LWRC UICW stock/buffer - 20” without the can



For defensive use you’ll want to be running supers - 110gr tac-tx at minimum
Also look at the new ammo in nas3 cases that can push 2k fps even out of these shorty uppers

I think most of the MCX uppers come with the lower adapter. I know the Rattler and SBR ones I was looking at did.

Go ahead and use Bear Defense as an excuse if you want; but Id have to wonder where youre travelling that you need anything with a FRT as Bear Defense.

That being said I do applaud your wanting to build something.  I have a few 300s and a couple short 308s.  I have a 10" AR10 and a 12" HK G3K clone.  If I was gonna pick between the bunch, the 308s would be my choice if I wanted to kill something up close that wanted to kill me
