It’s not a typo, I was not talking about 308.
I can’t imagine the people in here dying from laughter at the title. Once it is out of your system, hear me out. There may be a thread on this already but I could not find it using the search forum. I am sure every single person thinks this is an idiotic idea but I have my own reasons for wanting to do it. That being said, I am welcome to any and all ideas on the best way to go about building an AR in 380 acp.
yes, I know that 99.99999999% of responses will say just do it in a 9 mm. I already have plenty of guns in 9 mm and plenty of ARs in other calibers. yes, I am fully aware that I could just reload 9 mm down to 380 levels but that is not what this is about. This is just a project for my own satisfaction.
it could be that not a single person on this site even wants to attempt seriously answering this question about what would be involved in actually building it but if anyone is, I would love to hear your thoughts. I am assuming most of it will be built on an AR 9 platform.
i would assume the bcg would need to be different and the barrel would need a different twist. Maybe 1:10?
thanks in advance for anyone wanting to look at this with real ideas
