I will probably hit you guys up for some specific advice when I start to narrow the specifics down on this next purchase.

Thanks!

Great! You’re going to love it. The cool thing is that the platform is so modular that you can change it’s configuration pretty easily, for not too much money. You can even get multiple caliber barreled uppers to mate to your lower. For instance, I have one lower that services a 16” 5.56 carbine upper, and a 10.5” .300 blackout SBR upper. I could add other caliber uppers, so long as the cartridge fits in a 5.56 sized magazine. For instance, .458 SOCOM, or .450 Bushmaster, or .500 Beowulf, or 6.8 SPC.....etc., etc. With a .308 AR, you can get uppers for .243, .260 Remington, 7mm-08, etc.

Just one other point - you will have difficulty selling a LH rifle if you decide to.

I'm a lefty and have never fired a LH rifle (22s, M-1s, M-16s) and never bothered me.

I actually like that point Keeps me from making a mistake!

I'm with oohrah, Plus I've been shooting righty's so long, I don't know if I could figure out how to shoot a left handed anything. Heck.. I have a set of left handed golf clubs in my attic that I can't give away... Which if your in the Plano / Frisco area and need a set. Let me know...

Kind of funny really... I can run a calculator, telephone key pad, and maybe a few power tools right handed, other than that...

What? Sell an AR? Who would do that?

I thought the standard charging handle was lefty. I got an ambi charging handle so I could run it right handed.

Found this.

If you still haven't made a choice, Aero Precision has these ambidextrous lowers:

https://aeroprecisionusa.com/ar15-ambid ... r-fde.html

It has a pre-milled slot for an ambidextrous bolt catch, which is really difficult for the AR platform.

Now I know you said you wanted 308, but if you went AR15, here's an option.
