Opinions Please on "high end" piston models: Christensen vs LWRC...
Hello all,
I am a new to AR-15's and love the platform! I am looking for a piston driven model and have narrowed it down to either the LWRC M6A2 or the Christensen CA-15 Recon. Both 16" barrels and both chambered in 5.56/.223.
I live in NJ and both of these are legal and available (as much as "available" is these days). The LWRC is $2500.00 and the Christensen is $4500.00. Big difference in price but I have buyers for some other guns that are safe queens which can fund the Christensen, so price is not an issue right now.
My heart fell in love with the looks, and feel of the Christensen but my mind is telling me that I don't know enough about the brand. I do know that LWRC is excellent and will suit my needs (target/range/home defense).
Big question - with money not an object but assuming I can only have one, which would you choose ? Please factor in reliability, quality of components and built, fit and finish as well as looks, style and ergonomics.
Thank you all in advance.
