what to do with an AR lower

[konradcountry]

But not all of us have the cojones to take on these builds. And all of them are interesting

I don't think it is a matter of cojones. Some of us would rather just buy a box of ammo and get to the range.

Since so many calibers have already been done you are often just splitting hairs.

Wild catting isn’t for everyone.  If your happy just buying a box of rounds and heading to the range that’s great.  For some of us it’s more fun building our own rifles and building our own rounds and going shooting with something no one else has.  Even if it’s just a tiny bit different than what’s on the shelf.

SOCOM

Because you’ll get to say SOCOM all the time......

[Dan-o]

I figured out what you should do:

1.  Go 375 SOCOM
2.  Use good quality parts
3.  Tire of it quickly
4.  Sell it to me at a tremendous discount
5. Rinse and repeat

Well.... Neck a .243 wssm up to a 6.5 caliber?

 I’d wait to see if martial law is declared and confiscations begin, you may be able to get 10x the amount you are currently asking.

That's weak. I hadn't planed on the 350 but for sure pass with the 355

I'm waiting for things to mellow. Got a couple of 10's still so thinking a 260 and maybe a 358 win.

I always thought a 358 Win in an AR 10 would be pretty cool. The 338 Federal would make more sense, but you don't get as many style points.

It's been a long time since I built something practical. Sometimes the best way to get 340 Weatherby ballistics is to neck down a 375 Ruger case and fireform that sucker in an 18" pistol. Or you can get all fancy like Jasnt and run a 338/375 Ruger reamer in a little deep and go with an 8x68s case instead!

Besides, after the ammo hoarders have bought up all of the available ammo off the shelf, I'll still be shooting because I'm not dependent on factory ammo.

Didn't we go through this scenario once before with the 270 RUM idea?

Now that's operator.......

My vote is a 35 cal.  But I'm a 35 cal guy.  Ranger Point Precision built an AR on their 36RPP design which was cool; a shortened 35 Whelen wildcat.   358 Win would be more straightforward.  I'd do that over 358 SOCOM.  Yeah 338 Fed would also make sense.  I like 375 cal stuff, so 375 SOCOM perhaps.


350Rem would be interesting too.

35 Gremlin. Lots of parent brass available

That's a tactical fold in the T shirt to lure the unwary into the operator's trap.

We're kind of a big deal.......

Looks like I may throw the AR lower back in the safe for another year or so, I have a new idea! Somebody is going to give me a 1-7" twist .224 barrel blank with the only condition being that I have to do something unusual with it. I have an idea already.

Maybe get all weird and wacky and neck 300 blackout down to .224!

That would be awesomenessssss! (Extra ssss’s added because that’s what internet operators do)

That's a crazy idea! I bet that would work well out of something like a 10" barreled handgun with a flimsy plastic stock, I'll have a little diamond on the forend though, so it'll still be cool! I bet it would look kind of like this. Man, think of the fireball that would make!!!
