Lets have a little fun here....
So I've built several AR's over the years and am in the process of building 2 more. I currently have AR's in 5.56 (2), 7.62 x 39 (1), 6.8 SPC (1), and suppressed .300 Blackout (1), all of different variations in regards to barrels, furniture, optics and such.
Sitting on the shelf I have an A2 upper receiver on a DTI lower and a flat top upper reciever on a Spikes Tactical lower. The A2 is getting a 20" 5.56 barrel, magpul furniture and standard A2 front sight. So that one is pretty much done.
The flat top/Spikes lower is the one I'm trying to figure out what to do.
So the dilemna for me is not so much what to build, but what to build it for. The 5.56 (x 3 that I will have now after the 20" build is done) and the 7.62 x 39 are for SHTF and need to survive rifles since they are in a common caliber. The 6.8 SPC and .300 will be useless after I run out of ammo since its not a common caliber.
So now that I have the one remaining, do I continue the doomsday prepper thought process and build another common caliber rifle or should I expand to say a 6.5 Grendel?
What say you?
