Also thanks for Stag arms looks nice but how do I get an FFL and how much does that cost.

Gunbroker is a good place to buy a gun and if you ask, the guys at the gunshop will help you out with the FFL part

You wouldn't get a ffl...you would find someone in your area that has a ffl and then you will have a gun sent to that person/business and do the background check there or you can straight out buy it at that ffl owner...I personally like S&W M&P15 but for under $800 your most likely looking at DPMS and its called a optic-only model if you want a flat top for cheaper...and SBR is Short Barrel Rifle

if you want an AR-15 that shoots .22, you could just get any of the guns that were built as a .22 instead of a conversion and those .22 rifles are only about 500. You'd need different magazines as well for .22?

Is there a reason you want 10 round mags? I don't think South Carolina have a magazine law against higher capacity unless you plan on hunting with your AR-15, then I think 10 rounds is the rule for hunting with an AR-15.

There isnt any big reason but I may move to a highly populated area like new york or something and im not sure what the magazine laws are so I wanted to be on the safe side and if 10 isnt enough I will go buy a 30 round magazine. And the reason I want the .223 conversion to .22lr is i might use it to go hunting with my buddies of mine. Also some of those .22lr are ugly as mess if you find a .22lr that looks like a ar-15 5.56 nato then im set but besides that ill stick to larger cailbers. Honestly a 9mm Ar-15 would be my wet dream but i havent found any. And tell you the honest truth an MP5 would be my gun but their so rare expecially a semi-auto one. The only thing I have heard of is the HK94 which was from the 1980s which is horrible. But yeah I considering other guns any semi-auto rifle with full customization like the Ar-15.

If you move to New York, the magazine isn't the only thing that's regulated. The rifle itself will also be subject to NY's own Assault Weapons Ban (it still has one).

A 9mm AR-15 is also very rare and an civilian MP5 like the HK94 is extremely rare nowadays.

Unless you are hunting little rabbits, I don't think a .22 can kill anything big.

Seriously don't go to New York, that's anti gun country. You should really check your local gun laws. Go to your police stations and ask or better yet, just look it up online.

My mental perception of the AR-15 is "chambered in EVERYTHING". From .50 BMG to .22LR to crossbow bolts. I wouldn't be surprised if you could get a slingshot upper.
"Got a knew AR upper the other day."
"Oh yeah, what's it shoot?"
"Rocks."

Anyway, here's this thing. No adjustable stock (I think it would be charitable to even call that foam tube a stock) and the barrel's only 7.25in, but it's 660$ and Bushmaster has a pretty good reputation. (right?)

Doesn't have a lot of range and it shoots 9mm. You might as well get a handgun for carry conceal and for home defense, you might just get a full size handgun.
