I'm getting my first AR

This is what he has to show me.
Top 18" Barrel
2nd down- Springfield Saint 16"
3rd down 14.5" pinned
4th down 14.5" pinned
Gas system length can make it softer to shoot. Mid length gas in a 14.5"-16" or rifle length gas on 18"-20" very nice. Carbine length gas systems are not my favorite.
 
A lot of good points have been brought up about the AR, after retiring from the Army and swearing to never own own, I relented in 2104 and bought the M4 Version. It's not the A2 I carried in the second half of my career, nor the A1 I carried in the first. You guys bring up a lot of specifics that show the versatility of the platform that we once called Mattel Toys. I have one lower and two different uppers, that to me is a big selling point. If you have limited resources, this is the way to go, an Upper for home defense or Personal defense in a vehicle even in a Pistol Caliber then an upper for longer range shooting or possibly hunting. Just my thoughts with out too many specifics to muddy the water.

It’s great to hear they will still be available in 2104!!!:):);)o_O:D
Who won the 2021 World Series, by the way?

Thats exactly what I thought I'd do. 1 Hunting, 1 home defence.
