300 BO questions

[Shemp]

So, if ammo cost were NOT an issue, is 300 BO or 5.56 a better choice for a primary defensive rifle?

7.62x39. Sorry. I had to. IV8888 did a good video on 7.62x39 vs 300 bo. Anyhoo....at close quarters I'd rather have more lead. I would take the 300. I only have one 5.56 and it's my pistol.

Yeah, I'd take x39 over both too. We agreed, mark it down and erect a monument.

At the end of the day I'm still sticking with 5.56 though. I have more confidence in it's reliability in an AR, I have tons of ammo, and it provides more than enough stopping power.

I will never admit it to anyone.

Is an AR pistol not for close quarters? Looks like you already chose 5.56 and not 300BO or 7.62x39.

I wanted to build a cheap one. 400 bucks with delta team tactical. A 7.62x39 would have cost me more. It's my toy. I like it when my ears are ringing and fire shits out the barrel. If shit went down here I would grab my 7.62. That you can count on.

I get it. I was fucking with you.

I know. I'm only half retarded.

[boss_hawg]

if ammo prices were not an issue, i would go with a 9 to 12” 300 sbr that was proven to be reliable...preferably with a quality can.

i am assuming by “defensive” you mean something within 150 yards.

 

[Willy Leadwell]

7.62x39.

I agree.

Should we schedule the erection now or are you guys just gonna wing it??

You misspelled gay.

Hopefully he realized he needs to build a 7.62x39 and went to buy parts.

 

[Shemp]

Nah...x39 isn't really an option because
1. I cant shoot steel case at the range, and if I'm spending money for brass then 300 BO is cheaper (I realise I said $$ isnt a concern, but that was to weed out the "300 BO is sooo expensive ")
B. I like not having to worry about finding and buying special mags, or using AK mags as the AR mag insertion is what I want.

Excuses. Go with 300. More lead more dead.
