Build is going to be fixed mag, very likely using the ARMagLock as that seems to be the best solution to the problem. There are kits for all 3 calibers so that isnt an issue. I have a mini14 in 223 and a RAR in 308 so neither will be investing in a new caliber, while 300BLK would. That's not a deciding factor for me. I wanted to see what people might be able to offer for input. I know there are some differences if I go AR10 with Armalite and DPMS having different characteristics that do not always plat nice.

IMHO 5.56 for the first build. I built 4 of them and I am now moving on to an AR10 chambered in 243. After doing the AR10 do not start there. Start with the 5.56 as there are many very cost effective options. I also read in your post that you might be looking at a kit. Personally I would not buy a kit but by the parts that you want instead.NRA Member, NYSRPA Member

5.56 featureless for a first build. Spur and normal fixed stock (magpul, AFX skeleton). I have zero problem shooting spur ARs and even run movement drills with them on my private range.
A fixed mag is more of a novelty that you can add later and though I own a few mainly to test out comps and stocks (and to run a couple of my 14.5" welded comp M4gery uppers I had before SAFE), it should never be a first build or AR choice.
