Feed me some ideas

[toddnjoyce]

I’m sitting on a stripped AR-15 lower, parts kit, and FCG.

Been thinking what to do with it. 9mm/45ACP Pistol, 300BO pistol, 6.5G hunter and 458 SOCOM/450 Bushmaster have all crossed my mind.

I’d like to do something a little different than run of the mill and don’t have any particular needs to fill right now.

Side-charging pistol and a piston upper have both crossed my mind.

Y’all got any ideas?

Is it comfortable to sit on?

 

[TxStetson]

458 Socom so that you can use the same projectiles as 45-70.

Fostech Gen II in the lower just because!

May I ask what configuration ARs you already have? As someone who owns all those listed above, the side charging 9mm pistol is the most fun, and cheapest to shoot. Especially if you have a suppressor to go on it.

I know I'm late to this party, was otherwise entertained. What's wrong with a simple, though it never is, .22? Does it Need to be a centerfire?

 

[Sam7sf]

25-45 sharps.

 

[Moonpie]

Sell it and get a Colt-Walker.

 

[Dawico]

50 BMG.

Flat-tops in .223/5.56 & 300BO are the only thing in the stable right now.

Go retro. Well, semi-retro

I'm also have stripped lower in need of an upper in different caliber than I already have. Right now I'm thinking 22 Valkyrie or 458 SOCOM.

I'ts going to be both, but which one first? Hmmmm...

My first suggestion is to throw away the trigger group of that LPC and get a drop in from GZP
Mil spec sucks!

Did that a long time ago.

I’ve got a stock of BCM PNT with JP springs for the FCG.

It does not need to be CF; I’d rather pick up an M&P15-22 than build one though.

The hardest part right now is that I don’t really have a need for another AR-pattern rifle. The pistol-cal pistol is intriguing to me, as is a dedicated hunting platform.

CMMG is way better quality in my experience that S&W


Barrel 5-8 inches.

Suppressor would be the icing on that cake.
Less that 5" won't cycle subsonic 22lr.
4" to 5" keeps bulk cheap high velocity subsonic and cycles my CMMG just dandy.

If I didn’t have a hunting rig already, I would definitely build a Grendel.
That was my first non 223/556 setup.

Join the cool kids and build a 6.5 Grendel. I really like everything about that round. Proven game taker, good long distance cartridge...

I'm seeing 22lr for under $0.03.

Nudge,nudge.
