Good responses so for, thank you everyone.
To answer a couple questions...I'm not a long range shooter, my eyes aren't up to it anymore so longest distance I'll be shooting is probably 200 yards, maybe 300 on a good day and that's about it.
So, if I build/buy another AR upper, it'll be range gun, and 200 yard and under hog gun. I have some 75gr BTHP that I like in .223 but, I want to build something that shoots a round with at least 123gr, preferably more, I'm not interested in SBR or pistol or suppressors. I'm thinking 18-20 inch barrel, flat top, and a decent scope. And when I pull the trigger, I want to KNOW I just launched something sizable downrange. As much as I like .50 Beo and .458 Socom, I'd prefer something I can easily find ammo for.
I'm a big fan of 7.62x39 but I don't want to have to have a dedicated receiver (like a 7.62x39 receiver, example the PSAK) for it, prefer to use an existing multi-cal AR receiver.
