Maybe this will be a bit on the identifying side, but I’ve been wanting to build my first ar-15 for like 6 years now. Once I finally had the money and was looking at the parts though, I thought:

de-encyclopedia: The primary advantages of the 5.56 cartridge is that it’s small size and light weight allow you to carry lots on your person, and pack many rounds into one magazine.

de-volition: Since you live in a place with a 10-round magazine limit and are not a soldier on the march, neither of these benefits particularly benefit us. Perhaps a caliber less hampered by the laws of man would be more suitable.

de-endurance: If we are to be limited to ten bullets, they should be ten of the biggest bullets you can stuff into a magazine

de-logic: Well, the biggest round that’s both controllable and affordable, of course

de-endurance: Yeah, yeah…

de-encyclopedia: One such caliber comes to mind immediately. An icon of the last century that survives, dinosaur-like into this one. Portable-ish, light enough, renowned for it’s killing power, and extant in vast surplus war staches throughout the world. The 7.62 by 39.

de-drama:Comrade bullet! That 230-grain pencil lead that has signed countless uprisings and revolutions! Millions have carried it like a companion on the path to total human liberation; now it’s your turn.

de-visual-calculus: It may not have the same velocity as the 5.56, but it’s twice the weight and has better terminal ballistics. Which is to say, a more dramatic and horrifying effect on a target.

de-physical-instrument: And the kick! We’ve fired an AR-15 before, remember? It was like a baby space gun, hardly any kick! You need something bigger, something that’ll remind you you’re alive!!

lt-dbyf-dubois:Okay, sounds like the big bullet is for me. Aren’t AKs pretty expensive though?

de-encyclopedia: These days, there are all sort of things you can do with hybrid parts. We can build an AR15 that fires AK47 rounds and feeds from AK47 magazines.

de-conceptualizationConceptualization-Easy (success): An AR-47, if you will.

de-hand-eye-coordination: If we make it from parts, we’ll have to make the grip and stock ourselves. We can practice our woodworking and engraving!

de-encyclopedia: I’m pretty sure they have those things for sale too

de-hand-eye-coordination: Nope, we must. It will be beautiful and custom, or we will not do it.

de-savoir-faire: Lasered wooden furniture, hybrid appearance, brass fittings…people are going to wonder why and how some sort of 1920s vampire hunter has made it onto a modern day range. Best wear your most stylish coat.

de-conceptualization: A beautiful mutant for a beautiful mutant: how fitting.

So now I’m waiting to pick up my hybrid AR lower that takes AK mags, and slap it on the upper I got. Then it’s woodshop time baybee
