I never had any issues with my SOTA X39 upper on a DPMS lower; used ASC mags and the upgraded firing pin. Never one FTF/FTE, all using the crappies steel case ammo.

Yes, ASC mags are a little more expensive (and do look odd), but not too bad. I'm actually thinking about doing another X39 AR, but may try PSA this time since they are running a special.
Stop using those "fact thingies" and personal experience to counter Internet lore.

BLACK AND BLUE! You could build in 300 BO for hunting suppressed and still run 5.56. I will bring my 300 BO set-up and can and let you try it out at the M&G!

Stick with the 300 BLK more fun and quieter. Do the lower in a bead blast grey, stock, fore grip, and handgrip in OD and trigger in red and color fill in red oh and get a bead blasted barrel too. Well that's the way I would do it anyway. Have some fun with building it.

I hear ya, I was the same way for a while; but if you like the AR platform but don't like paying $7.00 for 20 rounds of .223/5.56, the X39 upper on the AR makes shooting the AR much more economical.

Granted, the same could be said for a .22 conversion in an AR, but if you prefer feeling manly, the x39 takes care of that as well ;)
22 can't make a fireball like the x39 either

If you don't go 300 I would suggest x39. It is a fun one to play with in the AR platform, I currently have 3. With that being said I am actually building at least one in the 556 flavor. But am in debate if I want to do a 300 also. So in for more info on options.

Oh by the way I absolutely love that lower. With that being said have you considered getting a custom airbrush job on it. I know that could potentially make it a safe queen, but damn it could look good.
