Building a radial delayed 9mm ar and got the bug to use some of the spare parts I have lying around....
I want a dumb AR setup. and I want it to be around 8-10" or less. Already got a pinned 14.5 lightweight 556, a 22" 6.5 grendel and a few others. This is just for a dumb, entertaining range toy.
So far what I've come up with:
What say ye? No wildcats, I don't reload anymore.

So far what I've come up with:
- Stupid short 5.56 with a brake. Easiest since all I need is a barrel, great to annoy others. No need for special ammo or mags. Probably will get boring at some point
- 458 SOCOM - does fine out of a 9.5 or longer, wide range of ammo, runs in normal mags with 3d printed followers. Most expensive per round (1.80+) but readily available
- 450 Bushmaster - Slightly cheaper per round and rounds are technically more energy. Needs somewhat special mags though
- 350 Legend - tempting due to much cheaper ammo (that seems to be everywhere), but seems like a lame compromise in the end
What say ye? No wildcats, I don't reload anymore.
