In preparation of the upcoming election, I decided to order 2 matched billet Upper and Lowers from WC. They are only $600 which if you look whats available in billet, that isn't asking too much. I already have a Recon SR in 300 and a SPR in 223. I was going to build a SBR with a 9" Seekins barrel until I handled a friends gun with that setup that had a can on it, and my Recon with WC Whisper is only a few inches longer so I scratched that idea. So what do you guys think? .458 Socom? 223 Enhanced? I reload so ammo cost is irrelevant and maximum accuracy can be achieved. I wish their large frame sets were available as I'd love to build a 6.5 creedmoor.
Need some ideas for AR builds

6.5 Creedmoor is coming soon!
Form follows function, so what are your intended purposes?
I currently have several 5.56's, a .458 socom, a 6.5 Creedmoor, and have had 6.8 SPC and several 308's
If you want a do all, I'd get a 6.8 SPC. I regret selling mine and am planning on a build in 6.8 soon.
I am personally not a fan of SBR's, IMHO they're gimmick guns and unless your riding around Tikrit in a car, you don't need it.

Ahh 6.8... Great recommendation. My brother-in-law just moved outside of Houston and we plan to go on some nighttime hog hunts. The 6.8 would be perfect for that! I will look into it. I basically want a SBR because I don't have one. I agree that they are a gimmick. I don't plan on doing any door kicking in my life. At first I was just going to build an AR pistol and use the sig brace, but I now want an NFA trust so I figured a SBR would be a good place to start. The advantage the pistol has over the sbr is that I could bring it with me regardless of individual states' stances on NFA items.
I really don't have intended purposes. I have bolt guns ranging internally suppressed 22lr all the way to 50bmg. I have 223, 300aac, and 308 gassers. I just like to shoot so that's why I'm looking for ideas.
How do you like your .458 Socom? That would be a great hog gun as well.

I'm buying a SaltWorks .308 kit in preparation for their large frame rifle parts. I really hope they hurry up though. Their barrel and bcg is what I mostly want.
Lol was there any meat left on that deer? That round is big and bad! It looks like the oal barely fits in the mag. I'm definitely building a 458! I recently had a few too many and bid crazy low on a 50cal bolt gun and ended up winning it. These 2 projects might have to wait til winter. At least I'll have the main components of the rifles in hand in case something crazy happens.
The .458 is just plain fun!! If you're looking for fun, I recommend that caliber. However, if you're looking for the most versatility, I would suggest the 6.8. Seems like it can get just about any job done, without being overkill or underpowered. I don't have a 6.8, but one is on my list for that reason. I do have a Wilson .458 upper to go on my Wilson Super Sniper, and I have a blast shooting it. Love the recoil!
