Build Thread Poll: What next...?

[hatchj]

So, I have a relatively expensive (to me ~$1600 including mro) ar15 that I'm very impressed with accuracy wise. I won't buy anything other than ballistic advantage barrels. I have a second ar15 lower that I'm itching to build. Will be buying an aero precision m5 lower soon to build a 308.

My question is. Should I got for a pistol with the 2nd ar15 lower and build the 308 for the longer range stuff. Or do both rifles and have a sort of in between range ar15 (between the red dot equipped rifle) and the 308?

*to simplify. Ar15 with 1-6 scope or pistol build. Then the 308 with a 2-10 or so optic.

308 with a 2-10 or so optic.

I started my AR-10 with a scope like that, after one range trip I switched it out and bought a much better one. As for the build I think you need one of each. Pistol, intermediate and the 308.

I didn't cast a vote because there was no BOTH option!

I'm probably going to buy a 3rd lower, but it won't get built anytime soon.
I'd go with a higher power optic if i knew I might start shooting longer distances. I'm thinking the 2.5-10 vortex viper. I still want decent acquisition at close range.

Definitely not set in stone on the optic. Just looking into options

Well what did you Build?

I purchased a couple of AR jigs (-15, -10) from Ares armor years ago and decided to do another ar10. will I have any problems using an 80% lower from another manufacturer? Suggestions for a good alternative?

Seems that Ares Armor is no longer an option.

I am not sure Are they both milspec forged or billet style?

I was actually prodding OP.
