I currently have an Olympic arms ar15 with a 16in barrel and i just got a S&W MP15 lower for another build and wondered beside .233 what other calibers i can use without alot of modifications? I was leaning towards .204 or possibility of a pistol caliber

First let me comend Intimdtr77 on showing support for the 2 fellow brother firefighters that died recently in a structure fire in buffalo.
Im not new to the ar community and have no problem with building another .223 but wondered if i needed a new lower if i went with a .308 caliber? I was just wondering what other calibers i can use in a .223 lower? |

I run a regular .223/5.56 Stag lower, as the base for my 9mm setup. No real mods were needed, other than installing a mag block, which can be removed in a second and have a .223 upper slapped on in place of the 9mm, and I'm ready to go (Although I don't swap uppers. It's just nice to know I can go from 9mm to .223 in a matter of seconds, if the need should ever arise.)
As far as what other calibers work with regular lowers........I'm not sure, so I'll let someone else comment on that. |
