Alternatives to the basic .223 Remington - Useful, or pointless?

Currently, it’s a blank AR-Stoner upper. I was planning on free-floating the barrel…

Oh, wait, you’re talking about my other upper. Free-floated CMMG, .223-specific (not ‘Wylde’) 18" medium-profile. The lower (also CMMG) uses a Geissele drop-in trigger pack, but that’s the extent of its customization. Yes, I use a bipod, and optics - 4x32 Burris.

I could get a better scope, obiously… :stuck_out_tongue:
