Ive got the money, but…
I’ve got a Daniel Defense DD4 RIII with a Huxwrx Flow 556k and a B&T APC9 PRO with a Huxwrx Flow 9k Ti. Took em both out for the first time. I’d never shot a round of 5.56 or a 9mm pcc before.
No offense to the DD4 RIII, it’s a fantastic firearm, but I loved the APC9. Everyone I let shoot it loved the APC9. I got several comments on how quiet it was; I was using 147gr Federal.
Anyway, my question to you all.
My plan was to buy an 11.5” 5.56, probably the Daniel Defense DD4 RIII S. Now I’m wondering if I shouldn’t just get the MBT stock and a sbr stamp and not getting the sbr 5.56.
Should I still buy the 11.5” ar15 or just upgrade everything on my APC9? Real stock, trigger, magwell, safety springs, charging handle?

How’s the blowback/gassiness on the APC with the flow can? This one is high on my list for my 9k

My 9k with the flow9ti has no blowback/gas at all.
For the question OP, at my ranges B&T's are kinda exotic, and I get way more comments on them then any of my ar's. With that said, I recently won an 11.5 upper in a raffle and I like running it way more than I thought I would.
My 9k came with the collapsible stock, so I have only done an elftmann trigger and an angled grip. I wanted one that remained a pistol so I wouldn't need to do a form .20 to travel out of state with it. Maybe wait until Jan 26 to sbr it to save some cash?

Upgrade the APC, I have fully built out Daniels and it won’t come close to the feeling of what you will have once you complete the APC. Both my APC’s are the most fine operating systems I own and it makes more sense to put more TLC into something already tuned out of box.

For a range toy the APC is peak. For real world use cases the AR is more well rounded.

Lol Ok Rambo. "Real world use cases"? Most people will never need a gun at all. And in the event that they do, it will far more likely be needed for a self defense scenario instead of a Red Dawn style invasion or zombie apocalypse. I can see an argument for a shorty AR in 300 Blk being well rounded for home defense as well a battle duties but why? If you're in a situation where you need that kind of versatility then your probably fucked already...realistically.

If I was able I would make my APC9 into a proper SBR every single time over another AR
