I have a project that I may be having second thoughts on. I have an ar that is an assembled lower and stripped upper, I am needing a barrel and a stock essentially to finish. My original plan was to build it in 300 blackout with a 16" barrel. I have had a few people tell me 300 isn't the best round for a 16" barrel so I'm starting to shy away.
My next option i have thought of would be a 20" 223 Wydle barrel, and make somewhat of a spr/long range build, but that opens up a new can of worms buying an optic and pretty much being tied to out door ranges.
Third possibility but I wrote it off because of the availability of mags, that is an ar chambered in 7.62x39
What says you all is there any alternatives I haven't thought of?
