Rethinking the AR/AK for defense only

If I go PSA all the ODT AR Gods will pee on me and laugh. I haven’t recovered from the last time they peed in my butt.

🤣

Off topic...if I was " invading " your home. I would setup a sniper position. Fly a drone over your home and set fire to the roof and wait for you to come out .

I'll pitch in here.

You're asking 2 questions. Platform and caliber.

Caliber? Bigger is better. Consider something in 30 cal. If you're a reloader, 300BLK is fun and it's a small-ish cartridge. And the powder load is about half that of a 308, so it's economical to reload. If you ever get bored with reloading for it, there's are plenty of commercial ammo options too. Recoil is very civilized.

Platform? If you don't like AR platform, there are other options.

AR is the go to. Easy parts. Easy to move on from.
The 300BO could be a winner. Maybe even an SBR double stamp gun?

I would send out the wimmen and kids. I would stay in and make them millionaire's. So a debt of gratitude would be in order. Send a PM if interested.

Yeah, it looks like my edits post date your citation.

AR really is the better way to go. And if you're up for the hassle, SBR with a can is REALLY the way to go.

It’s a serious purchase with a specific task.

cmshoot you build anything like I am thinking about? Pros? Cons? Reliability of an alternate chambering in this shorty package? This will not be a reload rifle. I will find “the round”and lay it in deep.

Whatever you get put a super safety in it

Forgot to add you can kiss that drone goodbye.
