Hi, I've been shooting my daughters FWB P70 JR ar with a butt plate spacer and a longer MEC tube on the front. I was wondering if there,s any advantage to getting an adult sized ar for myself. I,m 5' 8".

For me, there was ONE item that stood out between my P70-Jr, and a full size AR (Anschutz 2000-CA), and that is the pistol grip.
The full size has a true right hand pistol grip, vs. the ambidextros pistol grip on the Jr. This is probably the thing that bugged me the most about the Jr. My thumb was just not as comfortable as on a full size. When you hold a rifle with a true right hand grip and compare with an ambi grip, you will see what I mean. It won't matter to some, but others like me, it does.
Ambi stocks are a compromise, and a bad ambi, is "neither" right nor left.
You took care of the other problem (not enough muzzle weight) with your MEC tube.
