No, it would not be OK for me. The AR was not designed to be chambered in that caliber, so I don't feel I would place any real trust into such a setup outside of punching holes in a dirt pile.
And it sucks if you choose to make this particular time frame as the one in which you finally decided to buy spare parts. But in the last 30 days, I have been able to buy a couple of extra firing pins from BCM, a cam pin from the same, a lower parts kit (for spares) from PSA, an extra grip and RE.

I have a small handful of spare parts, I wish I had more, but I also wish I had money, looks, hair, and a fairy god mother.

Constitutional rights are enshrined with the scope they were understood to have when the people adopted them, whether or not future legislatures or (yes) even future judges think that scope too broad
