Hi all,
Looking to start my first build on the AR platform. I'm struggling to decide what to build so I wanted to hear some opinions!
A little Background:
I currently own:
S&W Bodyguard
Sig P320 X compact
Tikka T3 Lite
Remington 870
Mossberg Shockwave
PSA 16" AR15 - .556
I recently picked up a stripped lower and I'm trying to decide if I should build an AR pistol or more long-range AR.
To go ahead and put this out there - I know your gun should "match your mission". I'm struggling to decide which mission to pursue first.
While I have the shockwave for my wife to use for home defense, I've been planning to use my 320 as my weapon of choice.
If I were to build an AR pistol, I'd switch over to using that.
So, I lean towards building the AR pistol.
For the builders out there, where would you start? (This will be my first build.)
If I go the pistol route, it then brings up the choice between 556 and 300 Blackout. I'm sure that's a much longer discussion with many varying opinions. I lean towards 556 just so I don't have to worry about a buddy accidentally loading a 300 round in my other AR 556 barrel.
