I live in the New People's Republic of Virginia, also known as East California. I am looking to build out my arsenal while I still can. Out of all the places to ask strangers on the internet their opinion this seems the best place ;P
If this was your theoretical arsenal how would you build out 6 stripped lowers? I put in for 1 SBR for the stripped lowers. I do a lot of hunting out of state and don't want to go crazy with the form 1's.

Guns in the vault
9mm pistol
HK MR556 16"
HK MP5k-PDW (form 1 pending)
HK MP5 22lr rifle (form 1 pending)
Woodstock bolt action 350 legend
Nice bolt action 300wm for mountain rifle
~$500 tier 16" AR 15 5.556

Lower 1 planning on building 9" 300black out as a brush gun for pigs/hunting in thick brush suppressed w/ subs/supers
Lower 2 BCM(or similar price point) 11.5" 5.56 (thinking about SBRing this one)
Lower 3 9mm w/ endo mags. (I already have the gear for this from a prior build. it's redundant with the MP5 but I can give to my kids when old enough)
Lower 4 16" (BCM price point) thermal for coyotes etc?
Lower 5 9" 300 black out for dedicated bedside gun for shooting subs suppressed?
Lower 6 16" PSA/beater to give to another kid or a good friend if society collapses?

I'm also thinking about getting an AR10 lower because 8.6 blk. It seems promising and it would be nice to have an AR10 so I can change out the uppers in the future IF that is an option once the legal dust settles.

Cheers!

The only one I would swap out is the lower #5. Your lower #1 should cover this role easily and will give you an excuse to get more reps and rounds with it I think you would be better off having a 16” non-thermal gun in addition to your dedicated thermal gun. This will give you a non-NFA defensive carbine for traveling and can also be setup with an LPVO to handle longer distances for you.
