What should I build next?

What should I build next?

Just finished up 2 rifles. The first a freefloated Spikes 5.56 16" with a Primary Arms 1-4x24. The second is an Adams Arms piston 5.45 16" which I plan to get some Troy irons for and a Primary Arms M4.

That leads me to the future. I plan to shoot the hell out of these (once I figure out the problem with the 5.56 not wanting to chamber) but am thinking about what I should plan for in the future. I was considering a BCM 14.5" middy or a BCM 7.5" on a pistol lower until I can get SBR paperwork. Or maybe a Noveske 18" SPR.

Thoughts anyone? Give me soemthing to start dreaming over that's easily achieved.

Well, if you want to go LONGER, I was thinking about a BCM 18" SPR upper, matched with a Spikes custom lower, and a Magpul PRS stock.

Ya know, I have never heard, but how is the PRS stock when you are NOT sitting at a bench? I try to build my rifles to fill a particular role and what I want at the time but also to be useful if the need arises.

I should clarify that the 14.5 middy I talked about would be a KISS setup as well because I am really digging those right now.

I would LOVE to build a 308. I just hate that there was never a standard made for them. That and they are sooo damn expensive compared to a standard receiver ar.

What about 7.62x39? Has the reliability of that setup been improved upon? That would be pretty sweet for a KISS rifle..

IMHO your better off going to the 6.8 if you can afford to feed it.

I wouldn't mind doing a 6.8 but I just can't justify spending that much money on ammo.

Reload!!!
If you aren't now, I'd spend some time and money in that area before building another weapon.
Better ammo, cheaper... make sense in the long run...
