AR build for Hiking / Camping

[Gaffer1968]

Nothing will be left in the car. Looking for something I can carry in a backpack with me while hiking. I should of been more specific on that part.

I'd go with an AR-7.....Henry makes one in 22LR....a backpackable breakdown 22 rifle where everything fits in the stock. I have one....

Btw If you open belly carry in the back country please be sure to greet everyone you encounter with a smile and a friendly “good morning” or “good afternoon” or you’ll likely scare some of us to death.

And if you encounter a scary looking old guy carryin his sleeping bag in a trash compactor bag please do not shoot him. He is harmless.

I have a 7” 300aac with a side folding stock that fits in a daypack.

300 is going to give you much better ballistics out of a barrel that short than 5.56. Load it with some 110gr solid copper ballistic tip ammo and it’s a very effective, very compact package.

PSA may not cost as much as some, but the quality of there lowers, uppers and barrels are top shelf. PSA is a major player and I would not hesitate to depend on their products.

PSA made some pretty good stuff but you have to go with the way they build it or it’s pointless. If you know what you want length and size wise better off to build it. 5.56 nothing lower than a 10.3 barrel, 300 Blackout nothing under 7 but if you go 9mm pcc you can go shorter and even could get a law folder for the stock/brace to make it shorter.

That’s a great option. Honestly looking to working on something with my son is the only thing about that one.

This is my 9mm pcc backpack gun I built it. It have 5.5 barrel. Places to check is for is Joeboboutfitters.com, righttobear.com, brownells.com, and Midwayusa.com. That’s the places I use the most to built. Find sales and specials building is not going to happen overnight take you time and know what you want. If you want to look at a 22LR take a look at 10/22 Charger takedown pistol they pack/store away nicely.
