I have a bcm 16" m4 with the typical magpul bullshit add-ons,but im pretty bored with the rifle to be honest. I bought a sps tactical 223 not too long ago. It has a bushnell 3200 10x,scope base and rings so far. Im torn between another AR build,or buying some stuff for my SPS( b & c stock,magazine system,tacticool bolt handle etc etc). Im picking up a stripped lower Wednesday but I havent ordered any other parts until I get my head out of my ass and figure out what I want to do.If I go ahead with another AR build il probably go with a 14.5" sbr of some sort. What would be the most practical path for me to take? I shoot at 50-100-200 yards right now,and dont reload,yet. Poll on the way.

Why do you have a bolt action and a semi-auto in .223???

Sell the bolt action and get a varmint upper instead.

Uh,because? At the distances I shoot at and the fact that I dont reload,I didnt see the point in going to 308 when factory ammo is expensive as it is. The sps 223 will suit me just fine.

I don't think he meant to go to a .308, I think he was saying get a 223/556 varmint upper. I don't see the need for a varminter for 200 yards and in,but that's just me.

This.

Hell, I've had people shoot competitions with 20"-24" varmint uppers/bull barrels with all kinds of different muzzle breaks/flash hiders at CQB distances.

You're bored with your AR, so your solution is to build...another AR? And a 14.5" barrel is somehow going to be more exciting than a 16" barrel?

Thee are so many different types of rifles out there - bullpups, AKs, lever actions, pistol carbines - why not try something completely different from another AR? Life's too short not to experiment.

That idea crossed my mind too but I don't have a clue what I would like.

That's a good attitude actually, just wait till "love at first sight" hits you and then you'll know.

Save your money


Go to an Appleseed shoot

Shoot the rifle with iron sights.

If you are still bored with it after that, well there is always golf.......................
