    Next AR - Precision Build or Other?

    I currently have 2 AR pattern rifles, both are custom builds.

    14" 1:7 twist with flash hider (pinned and welded) on Anderson lower w/ Magpul MOE stock. Primarily running mid-heavy grain 5.56

    16" 1:8 twist with A2 muzzle break on Anderson lower w/ Magpul SL-K stock. Primarily running light-mid grain .22LR and .223

    I have another Anderson lower with a Thordson stock...

    I was planning to do it as a 18" or 20" 1:7 twist precision type setup.

    However I am now thinking that I should do it as a 300 Blackout or possibly a 9mm build.

    If I do stick with the precision build...should I stick with 5.56 or go 6.5 Grendel or 6.8 SPC?

    Thoughts?

    5.56 Don't fix what aint broke, and you have more incentive to reload.
    weg: That device is obsolete now. They replaced it with wizards.
    frank: Wait a minute. There are more than one wizard? Is [are?] the wizard calibrated?

          ^^ I would go with a 20in AR10 setup if you wanted to do a precision build. With all the choices you listed it still seems you are unsure of what you want other than building another AR

            I do have .308 AR10 planned.

            However I have a current AR15 lower completed and looking for an upper that is different from the other rifles I have.

                how about an 18in SPR Replica build or M16A4 replica build

                both are dead sexy and accurate
