Just looked on gunbroker it looks like part prices are creeping up now I’d say about 25%.

You are screwed. They are so much fun to build that you'll want to build another one. I always build one, use it for awhile, then get an idea for a new build, so I sell the one I have, make a little extra money, and build a new one. YouTube is the best for how to build, and theres many forums with advise. But if you want ideas on cool builds, use Instagram. Tons of awesome ideas. I've been toying with color ideas for my AR-15 Pistol. I think I decided on what I'm going to do. It's my tribute to the man and women in blue.
If traps work like the Antis say......I would have no fingers.

I have a pile of AR stuff to unload from the last panic run, just waiting for the price to go up some more.

Here are some more questions for you guys... What size barrel for coyote hunting? I am in wooded areas with shorter range. So I figured 18 inch would do me fine. Someone like the OP in Idaho might want to go with 22. Or doesn’t it matter that much.
I have been told you have to match you buffer tube with your barrel if you go for a longer barrel. Buffer tube needs to be longer to accommodate a longer gas tube?
Has anyone used the 6.5 Grendel for deer? Any recommendations on that? I understand you only need a new mag, BCG, and barrel and you can run grendel through the same lower?

Forest, in my opinion a light 16 inch barrel is perfect for mostly shorter 100 to 150 yards or less. The 300 Blackout has impressed me with quick kills and no pelt damage. We have been shooting sub-sonic at 100 yards and it gives a tiny hole going in and very small going out and hammers the coyotes. Same mags for .300 BO as .223/5.56

Nice looking firearms 1lessdog. Flipper I'm interested more about the .300 blackout. I intend on using it for a bit of predator calling. Wolves and coyotes mostly. Was thinking .223 wylde or possibly 6.5 grendel. The .300 blackout intrigues me.

My girls and I have shot several deer and a few antelope with the Grendel and it works great. The girls would rather shoot it than the 243 and the adjustable stock makes it alot easier to fit it to them. My Grendel will be the only gun I have if I ever only have one gun.

The 300 blackout is great with 110 grain and 125 grain bullets too, but with 225 grain subsonics and a suppressor it's movie quiet. I guess maybe that is why the military uses it.

It Takes way more time looking through the catalogues and making your mind up what you should get than actually putting one of those things together. If you want a challenge , build an IKEA night stand instead of an AR15. Get a good barrel and a decent trigger. The rest is just fluff

Unless you want to go sub sonic, the Grendel is heads and shoulders above the 300 BO for pretty much every application. I like my Grendel a lot. If I want to go quiet sub sonic, I would break out the 458 SOCOM with heavy bullets 550 + grains and put a can on it.

When the 30 round mags hit $20 each I have about 200 to move then, with the new bills they are pushing it could be the Barry days all over again soon.

Yup Law Dog. The dems are trying to sneak in all sorts of crap during these times while folks are concentrating on the virus.
