IMHO, the best of the myriad accessories for the AR is also the cheapest--the Winter Trigger Guard. It sure is nice in cold weather when you are wearing gloves!
6.8 SPC
If you had a complete lower and wanted an upper to hunt with what round would you use? Ammo/Brass availability would be very important to me, knockdown power THEN range.

BlackHole Weaponry fixed the 6.8 SPC by simply necking it down to 6.5. Might want to give their barrels a look. They also necked it down to .20 cal, .22, 6mm, 25 cal along with 6.5 and will be releasing a 6.8 necked down to .30 cal shortly. I know a bunch of guys that jumped on the 6.8 and then sold them all.

Might make a good brush gun, but that's about it! Go 6.8 and you won't be sorry.

Loaded ammo is available for the 6mmX6.8 SPC, but it's expensive! I make my own, being the tinkerer that I am...
