re: Thinking of rebuilding my blingy 22LR AR15 to a different cal. [update]

9mm would be pretty fun as that was my original intention to build this in 9mm. I have a couple of 9mm PCCs already (although both are limited in capacity, HiPernt and a Marlin Camp 9).

Dedicated 9mm lowers are more reliable and better magazine options.

6.8 is the next. I do want something in that caliber. It wold give me an AR platform rifle I wouldn't mind using on Deer or Hog. But from a more practical perspective maybe trying to hunt with a silver receiver set and maybe a matching matte stainless steel barrel a bad idea? Not sure if a matte silver of a stainless barrel might spook prey? I've always hunted with black, wood, or camo guns so I don't know how much that matters to four legged creatures with no feathers or wings.

Color wont matter. Short barrel will. If you don't mind going back out to 16-18", good idea.

300BO. Any practical use if I don't plan on suppressing? Not sure why I would want one over 6.8.

Nope. I love mine, but it wears a can.

762x39? An abomination in the AR platform.

Nope. Mags cost too much and are far too unreliable.
