Stripped Lower... Now What?!?!?

[SouthernSlammed]

Settled up on a deal with @dougiemac today, and while up in his neck of the woods I made a stop at CG&P!

Shop is everything, everyone has described!!!! Best part is they had a couple AR stripped lowers that I walked right into. Surprise... Ruger AR556 stripped lower! Thought that GGS was going to be my best deal on one, nope! CG&P was a little lower on price, so I jumped!!

This will be my first time assembly, so I'm trying to figure out what I'm going to do! I am considering doing a 9mm build or possibly a .300 blk! However, I certainly want to make it an SBR!

What's best suggestion: go with multical uppers, or do dedicated?!

Huh?

The point of the platform is that it's modular. Unless you're getting a Glock lower or something it'll shoot whatever you have an upper for.

 

[Wallace]

Yeah, i'm lost on this one. Just build the lower and buy an upper in one of the probably 15+ calibers compatible with the AR15 platform...

7.62 x 39 build.

 

[Willy Leadwell]

7.62 x 39 build.

I second that motion

Third. I love my couple in the x39 caliber

Is there just mag well adapters for other calibers?

They all run the same. Just different magazines for most.

 

[SouthernSlammed]

Glad to learn something new!

 

[Cudruln]

So basically you can get whatever upper you want and get the appropriate magazines. Then go to the range.

SBR it is then!

Just know that whatever caliber/barrel length you register it as, you will always need to have it available.

 

[SouthernSlammed]

But, you just can't have one SBR... right?!

SDM rifle in 5.56.... 20 inch CL BBL, 1/7 twist...






Oh wait... you want to do it in 7.62x39.... Good luck hitting anything past 200m.....

 

[Rwjeter]

I enjoy my 9mm build. I bought a KAK industries top loading magwell adapter. In hindsight I wish I had got a Hahn bottom load adapter. That way I could take it out easily. Especially if you're gonna SBR it. I'd probably sbr it as a 10.5 5.56 though. That way it would be a cheap upper that was pretty versatile and you wouldn't mind keeping around.

 

[Cudruln]

I may be selling a x39 pistol upper if you are interested.

Really Only 200m? Though thats farther than I shoot.

I will just keep that in an AK for now!!

Whelp... made another step closer to building a SBR, puchased a complete 16" upper! Need to get a new trust done, and get Form1 rolling!

Everyone agree in 5.56, that 10.5 is as short as you want to go, for best results?

My 5.56 pistol is a 10.5". I wouldn't go shorter personally. That one of mine was uncomfortable to shoot until I added the KX-3 "flash hider" to it. Now it's fine.

Just remember the US military went with 14.7" for a reason.
