^^^ 300 blackout...or 6.8 SPC...I have 6.8 SPC 20" VLTOR upper with kotonics barrel, trying to get another lower ordered and I really thinking about 300 upper for this next one. The nice thing about those calibers, a lot hotter than 5.56, however you use the same lower as 5.56/.223 gun.

Its a pretty hefty with 30rds and scope...I got more for hunting, bench shooting. I haven't weighed it though. If I do a 300 blackout or another 6.8, definitely going with shorter barrel and upper. I have the foregrip off, buts its definitely not a issue. You should be able to put a piece of pictany wherever you want on most uppers.

I like .300 Blk for the simple fact that you can use standard 5.56 magazines and bolts. Just need a barrel change to run it.. I'm wanting to build one, or at least buy an upper or 2. One for my rifle lower and a short barrel for my pistol lower. May just buy a couple barrels. There are many calibers for the AR platform. Take your pick.
You'll probably have to wait a month or 2 for stock to come in unless you buy from an individual. I've been to several shops looking at other things but they were sold or selling out back on Wed with no idea when they would receive more. Cheap *** bushmasters and dpms that were $700-800 2 weeks ago were going for $1200 plus. You can't even find magazines without paying $60+ each now. I bought some earlier this month for under $13 ea. Even if they slip legislation through, it'll take a while to be enacted. I know a local shop that had some built lowers and uppers on Wed. They were overpriced and I'm not sure if they have them anymore though. IM me if interest Bo. Other than that, watch Texas gun talk and Texas hunting forum. There is also a gun show this weekend and the big Ft. Worth gun show next.

dont like the full length rails either... I do however like the scope......... Nice piece... At 300 yard would you say if you hit mass will it have even more knockdown power than 7.62mm.. I can tell you what a 5.56 round is gonna do at 200 yards
LOL

Smith M&P15 Sports were $2200
New Fronteir complete lowers were $500
Something is going to happen in way of gun control. I just hope cooler heads prevail and something realistic and effective takes place.

Correct. as long as there are no sales going on from the forum, it's fine. Also, as long as we don't delve TOO far into politics, it won't get locked down.
Feel free to talk about the "law" all you guys want. We're all southern here, so I'd like to think we all know how we feel about POTUS. As long as the rocks don't start getting thrown, I see no reason to close the thread.
