Soo if someone where to build one right now what are some tips and paths to go??
Palmetto?
Should they lean towards one round or being able to fit 2 different rounds? 5.56 /2.23 etc….
Im talking like nothing special but functional to do some hunting and sport shooting and to have as a defense type thing

Get your lower. Watch YouTube videos on assembly. It’s easy enough. I highly the Aero Precision M4E lower as the hex-key bolt catch release pin alone is worth the extra $40 or so.
Most lower parts kits a pretty similar, you won’t miss anything with a standard LPK. You could rabbit hole yourself here, but you’re looking at very minute improvements.
Trigger is worth spending good money on. I’ve GREAT luck with CMC.
The upper? I’d buy it assembled. There’s very high pressures and narrow margins of error. I’ve built and bought uppers. Idk if I’d build again.
For caliber I’d go with 223 wylde. Second best is 5.56. That way you can feed anything into the gun safely. 223 wylde isn’t a caliber but a chambering. You can shoot 223 and 556 from it safely.
Optics? The world is your oyster.
Godspeed
