New AR build

I've got a couple of AR lowers that I need to work on. I've been toying with the idea of either a .458 Socom or a .450 Bushmaster. 

Socom is a bottle neck case that uses a rebated rim, and is for rifle bullets. Bushmaster is a straight walled case, and uses pistol bullets.

Finally took the plunge and ordered a 

458 Socom barrel from Bear Creek Arsenal. At $49+S&H it was hard to pass up.

Now I have to decide if I should build it as a semi auto, which means that here in CA I can't put a pistol grip, flash suppressor, or collapsing stock. Or, I can build it as a straight pull, essentially a bolt action, in which case I can put on all the evil goodies.

Decisions. Decisions.
