I've got a builder kit coming with a 9" hand guard and I'm wanting to do an SBR.
My OG thought was to do a ~9" 300blk with a suppressor for some light, maneuverable, quiet(ish) fun.
But, before committing to anything, am asking all y'all what caliber shorty AR you would build or avoid? The rub here is: I'm a reloading noob and whatever caliber this ends up being, I'll be loading for it…does that promote/discount any options?
The only thing I'm dead set against: I don't want another .223/5.56 gun…other than that, I'm not married to anything at the moment. What do you think?
(Weapon purpose: home defense rifle, range toy, fun, maybe some competition use, fun, etc.)
