I've decided to try and do something different, but I'm not sure what to try next. I've built 3 different AR's with the 4th in process and I'm thinking about what to do for the 5th. Some might call it an addiction.
I've got a 16" M4 style in 5.56, a 7.5" 9mm pistol (eventually an SBR), an 11.5" 7.62x39mm pistol in process (eventually an SBR) and finally a 20" Bull Barreled 5.56 with a Magpul PRS stock. I've decided the Bull Barreled AR doesn't get shot enough and I think it might be time to swap it out for something else. I'm just not sure what I should go with next. I don't really hunt so I don't need anything in particular. I just like getting out to the range and shooting. Give me your thoughts. |

I would look at doing a .22LR if you are wanting a plinker. Super cheap to shoot and fun. My 22 gets passed around at the range and everybody likes to shoot it! If you are not too concerned about ammunition costs do a big bore. I've been looking at them myself!

| I do have a .22 conversion kit. Thought about building a dedicated upper for it. I am planning on stepping up to a .308 at some point, but since I'm planning on keeping my lower and just selling/trading the bull barreled upper, I need to figure out something to put on it. .300 blackout is tempting since I have a Gemtech Can on the way for my 9mm that is compatable with that round. Just not sure that I want to go that route since barrels are still hard to find and pretty expensive. I've been leaning towards 6.8 or 6.5 at this point for a longer range shooter. .458 SOCOM would be cool since its finally been added as an acceptable hunting round for Indiana, but I don't do much hunting as of now. |
| Yeah, I have a 10/22, Model 60, plus a 22 conversion I can throw in my 5.56 so I'll probably wait on the dedicated .22 upper. I've alway wanted to do a .308 so I may see if I can get started on that. I guess there is nothing wrong with the extra lower sitting in the safe waiting to become a host for something else. If I can find a deal on a .300 Black barrel I might join the trend since my Gemtech Can is supposed to work well with it. |
