My family and I have really gotten into camping and hiking outdoors. We love the aspect of being away from technology and just enjoying family time. In addition, love that we are seeing places that we would never see from staying at hotels and meeting more people.
Camping also got me thinking about self-defense, especially being out in woods more. I always carry my Glock with me but would love to build an AR specifically for camping. When I say specifically, I mean a lower cost AR that we can carry in a bag while hiking and keep in at the camp site. Also, if we are at locations that have areas to shoot, something me and the little one can spend time shooting. Not trying to build anything fancy
My main questions:
Do I build a 5.56 AR or 9MM AR with glock mags?
If 5.56, what length? 10.5 / 11.5 / 16?
Would love to build with the little one but is palmetto a better option given price? Are there better options for lower cost?
Best site to get parts right now?
