What to build....

[Daleo8803]

I have a striped are lower coming in. One of the Tennessee firearms poly lower to test out( I know some people don't like poly but imo I haven't had any issues with them). I have no idea what to build. I have 2 carbines and one long range Ar builds.

Should I build a 300bk pistol? Another rifle? A dedicated 22lr trainer? I'm at a loss. Input?

300blk is fun

To really test a poly lower, you need to venture into big bore territory. I say go .458 Socom

if i ever cam across one of those poly lowers id probably do a version of this. side charging of course, and make it super light

These are reinforced with brass in several areas. I never had any issues with my New Frontier so I doubt you can test them any worse than they do.

That would be fun in 22lr

with no buffer tube, 22lr would be about the only option.
i would get a poly upper too, an aluminum barrel, make it super light, plenty of different aftermarket 22lr bcg's to choose from, almost like a ruger charger

Take a look at 6.8 SPC. It's all I've used for deer hunting since 2012, and has put a few in the freezer.

You should SBR it.

I have a long range AR , a 16" mid length , a carbine and just finished a 300 BLK pistol.

So I was kinda where you are at and went with the 300 blk, I enjoy everything about it except the cost of ammo.

I knew going into the 300 blk build that ammo was going to be in the $1 range per bullet, what I didn't know was that you can get 6.5 grendel in the $.23 range.

My next build, if I decide I need a 5th AR, is going to be 6.5 GR.

You should reload my 300 blk is as cheap as 223. In the long run it saves a lot of money and you learn a useful skill.

I'm dumping the 16" 300blk and going to 6.5 Grendel

I'll have: 18" 223, 18" 6.5g, 8.5" 300blk and a AR10

If I had the room and shot it enough I would, maybe down the road I might. I have too many hobbies as it is.

My reloading bench takes up a 3x3 space. It's all the room I get in my house that my wife lets me have. But I do under stand the time factor
