    Lightbulb What pistols to build with AR lowers?

    I have a couple complete AR multi-cal lowers that I am looking for suggestions on what to do with.

    I am thinking maybe Form 1 and do a 9mm SBR or maybe a 22LR SBR. I could run my Obsidian 9 can on the 9mm or my Oculus 22 on the 22LR.

    Not looking to do anything 16" barrel at the moment and not really interested in doing anything as a pistol without a brace.

    I already have a form 1 submitted for my 10.5" barrel 5.56 pistol. The can for that is also still in jail.

    Anything worth spending the money on right now? It will just be a range toy.

    Really wanting to do something different than I normally do aka no basic m-lok rail & the same accessories I always use.

    I made a “loophole SBR” recently… 12.5” BCM upper/ BMC Mk2 lower. Geissele Mk16 rail… LPVO etc. mix of FDE/ODG to taste… kinda like a semi-URGI vibe.

    I like it a lot. Probably gonna get a Hxwrx Flow 556K can in the works for it asap.

    I really wanted to build a 9mm AR pistol using one of these MP5 style handguards.
    Even sweeter would be using a lower that uses curved 9mm mags. (PSA?)
    Didn't happen though. Can't justify another AR15 for a while.

    That MP5 handguard is cool but pricey!! I have a short 22 upper I could put one of those on. I just finished my second complete "AR22" last week. A 16" barreled rifle one to go with my 9" barreled pistol.

    300 blackout is a very versatile round.

    It's pretty easy to make brass for it from 223 brass.

    Loading your own you can make big heavy subsonic thumpers from cast lead and you can make any kind of 30 cal load you can come up with from full metal jacket to hollow points to Nosler partitions to varmint rounds

    I've been toying with the idea of building a 7.62 AK upper on an AR15 lower. Or maybe a 9mm on an AR15 lower.
    Trying to not spend the money right now though.

    Here is one I have been working on*. And (changing) for awhile now*. PSA AR-V, with a recently rebuilt old Bowers CAC-9 can*.
    Runs great with some of the more exotic triggers on the market! �� There have been reports of soft bolts on these* but so far so good!

    Big whoop, I'm spooning a Barret .50 Cal...... I could like kill a building.....
