I am in the process of building another AR and was wondering which Cal I should choose? I was thinking at first 9mm, but then wanted to go to a 6.8. I am wondering which upper and cal would be your choice and why.

I have a 5.56 and a 6.8spcII! The AR10/LR308's seemed too heavy for a stalking/night hunting rifle.


Anybody heard when the 30AR uppers will be available? These uppers will work with the AR15 lower, right?

i REALLY want a 6.8 and a .308

My Browning .308 is pig kryptonite, but i'd really like to have something that i can rapid fire with...

my MSAR is great, but i'd like something with just a BIT more boom

I would use the LWRC upper chambered in 5.56mm



Glock perfection. The very best and only handgun I will ever have. Nothing comes close!

I'm leaning towards a 6.8 myself



If the stores closed up tomorrow, a man should have enough Ammunition, Bic lighters,Tabasco sauce, Whiskey, and freeze dried Coffee to last him and his family until the casket.

I just did a 6.8 build for a member on here. He loves it and it is a pretty sweet rifle.
