I was originally going to buy Bushmaster and then change sights to folding. Based on the responses and couple of rifles I've seen in the local store I had changed my mind.
Someone on the forum suggested that SW M&P15T fits what I was looking for with sights (and it does :) ).
At the same time others suggested just building from parts, going with CMMG and I think there was one mentioning of RRA (both CMMG and RRA hat can also be configured in the desired way).
Building from parts I assume I'm looking at the following items:
- LMT M4 Flattop Upper Receiver w/ 1/7 Twist, Chrome-lined Barrel, and M4 barrel extension. Includes a Gas Tube, A2 Flash Suppressor, LMT Charging Handle and PRI Military Latch.
- Lewis Machine & Tool ( LMT ) Defender Lower with Collapsing Stock
- Rear folding sight
- LMT BCG
and either of
- gas block with folding sights and regular handguard
Above list pushes me around fifteen hundreds if I'm not mistaken while SW is around twelve.
That would be the first rifle for me and I'm wondering what would be the benefits of one setup over the other.
Thanks,
Igor
