    50 Beowulf SBR upper or 12" slug gun?

    I am about to move out of Washington and get to the free state of Montana, and this frees up the option of SBS which aren't legal in Washington. The debate i keep having with myself is weather or not to just build a 12" rifled slug gun, or a 50 Beowulf 12" upper for the sbr lower... Both would...
