Ouch. That's a good point about the center of gravity needing to be at the magazine well.

Maybe I'm weird but to me this would be something as a lightweight short to mid range deer carbine, particularly for a youngster such as my son in 7-8 years. Feed it something like 125gr soft points, probably reloaded to get some more zap in them.

I had an Armalite rifle upper and put together another pistol in the caliber.
Neither worked that well. Probably a combination of having no high quality mags for the caliber and crummy Russian ammo. A longer firing pin and heavy hammer spring did solve the light strike problems. I never tried US-made brass cased ammo.
I think with a quality, short-length magazine and handloaded brass cased ammo one could be made to run pretty well.
But it seems to me .300 BLK or .308 is the way to go for a .30 cal AR.
I would personally go with a CMMG mk47. It is purpose built around 7.62R with a larger bolt, larger receivers, and uses AK mags. It's intermediate size, between AR15 and AR10.
