    Ok guys, say you want to build a “SHTF” gun, primary optic is an LPVO, offset red dot to supplement, sling, light, and “K” can on the muzzle (5-5.5”), bipod is a possible accessory but more of a shooters preference deal.
    Edit: 556 caliber for this particular mental exercise :p

    Would you go with a 12.5” or 13.7” barrel?

    Keep in mind in this theoretical situation you have a 11.5” upper with red dot, BUIS and light, (K can if you want it) for vehicle or other ops where you might want shorter than either 13.7 or 12.5”.

    10.5” barrel, suppressed and folding brace/stock. .300BLK obviously. I’ll get around to it, that’s my next build. Just finished my 5.56 pistol tonight.

    That sounds like a nice build, I want to shoot .300 suppressed one of these days...
    What is your 556 pistol build?

    Ghost Firearms 7.5” upper, skeletonized lower both in tungsten gray. SBA3 brace, vortex strike fire II red dot (overkill, probably switch to romeo5), MBUS backup sights, Radian Raptor charging handle, talon ambi safety selector. May have missed a few things.

    Oh yeah, Magpul bad lever and Odin extended mag release

    That looks slick! The red dot does look a bit big though.

    This and that...
    Recently finished my 1st AR build. A little upgrade from my SIG M400 I sold. Looking forward to sending some pew pews down range. All parts meticulous chosen. My M1A is its roommate.
