So for 2016, I have a few items on my To-Do list.
So first of all, I'm going to Form 1 my 5.56 AR pistol for a decent SBR.
Some of my bigger projects:
I'm going to start a few builds that will stretch out through 2016.
I have a complete poly lower and a stripped steel flat welded lower, and an folded and welded steel Uzi magwell.
First, I'm going to build or buy complete, a .450 Bushmaster upper. I don't have a bigger bore "thumper" AR platform. I've done my research, weighed pros and cons, and have decided the .450 to be best for my needs, rather than the .458 SOCOM or .50 Beowulf. This, for the moment, will share a lower with my 5.56 carbine. Getting the upper built is a higher priority than building another lower, which may also happen in 2016, depending on funds.
I'm also going to build a 9mm upper, carbine length. The plan is to cut and weld the Uzi mag well into the steel lower and have a fun little 9mm Road Warrior-esque plinking range toy.
As for the poly lower, I'm thinking of a minimalist, light weight take down rifle. I'm doing this only because I don't think the poly lower will stand up to the .450 recoil.
If funds permit after these projects are finished, I am thinking of a Form 1 supressor (or maybe just buy one and transfer).
I'm also thinking of a mid-bore caliber, either .300 AAC or 6.5 Grendel. I haven't decided on either just yet. Still weighing the factors and trying to pinpoint my own purpose for this rifle. It's the lowest priority on the project list.
I have no real plans for shotguns or pistols, other than get a better stock of handgun mags for what I already have.
So those are my plans for the year... What do you have on the horizon?
