Planning AR build, requesting advice

[Diamondback]

Future upgrade: Leapers UTG Pro 17" slim handguard paired with Black River Tactical Covert Comp flash suppressor. (Per BRT, a Covert Comp means final bbl length of 17.4" from receiver face, so a hand stop is recommended--I was planning one no matter what.)

If you want a Thompson, I say buy a Thompson. https://www.armslist.com/posts/5734405/portland-oregon-antiques-for-sale--tommy-gun-

Very soft shooting guns! Saw documentary where a swat officer had one customized to be a race gun and still uses it for when they clear rooms - I want to say this was in Texas.

Like I said, this is a Home D build and I live in Ambulance Chaser Central where you can bet that even if the prosecutor didn't try to make an issue of "weapon choice", the dirtbag's estate would.

As noted in other threads, I've handled several live Form 1/Form 4'ed full-auto TSMG's in an 07/SOT friend's collection, and in semi--and even full once you've handled it a little--it's remarkably tame even when you're not using the stock, major weaknesses being the sights and the weight. Owning one is on my Bucket List...
