Looking at getting an AR platform soon. Looking at AR9 (accepts 9mm and 40) vs AR15 or blkout models. Which would you choose and why?

Under the floors of all the showers he’s putting in . You all know he’s a master shower tiler.
I prefer a home built 300BLK 10.5” barrel KAK slimline flash can. All my pistol builds wears one of these.

Dang I wish I had read this thread before I put so many 5.56 rounds through my PSA and DPMS over the years. Now I just know there will be problems. I expect both of my rifles to fail miserably any time now.

I couldn’t decide so I have several different caliber ARs.

Part of being an AR owner is that you must maintain and work on them occasionally. One of mine has over 900 rounds without a complete cleaning, I just swab the barrel and chamber and oil the bolt carrier every 2 range session. This is a test for the rifle upper only, the lower is swapped between 3 uppers.
I’m no expert but I have fixed more than a few problems that have occurred over the years. ;)
Army rifle training stuck in my brain but can’t recite my general orders anymore.
