Ok this is a wird questiona nd may be dumb. I have a frind that is building his first AR. He has a mill spec lower with a standard PSA lower kit so all he needs is an upper and ammo. At this point the said he wanted to do a 308 cal. After talking with some people he has been told he can not do this with his lower. I looed around on teh site and it looks like this is true if i have read right. I wanted to see what you guys thoughts were on teh best cal close to 308 that will work with his set up.

7.62 x 39. That way he still has a .30 rifle.

.30 Remington AR, .300 Blackout, 6.8mm SPC, or 7.62x39.

There are options out there, but for a first AR I would just stick with 5.56 unless you have a specific task in mind.

he cant go with 308 because he has a standard AR15 lower...he could however go with any of the other rounds listed by everyone else if he wanted, or he can just start a new build with the right lower. no reason he should have options, i have an AR15 and an AR10
