    You were bound to be right about something eventually.

    It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

    I'm sure I could use the search function and eventually discover an opinion, but I have a small child, I work like a dog, and I know you guys are smart and willing to share your experience with a newbie.

    I'm not new to guns but I'm new to the AR platform. I have several handguns, an AK and a couple milsurps.

    I've convinced myself that I need an AR ( I really just want one), for the fun of shooting carbine classes and SHTF situations. It seems to me that an SBR has a lot of advantages for urban warfare and does not give up a lot of accuracy for 100 yd type shoots. I was originally planning on a build, but then I found the Colt 6933.

    Seems like I'd save little with a custom build, but have the warranty and customer service of a Colt if I went this route.

    That being said, there seems to be some credible discourse about the reliability of a carbine vs a mid-length or full-length gas system. Being an SBR, the Colt 6933 just exacerbates the issues concerning the carbine gas system.

    I really have no opinion because I am so new but I would appreciate opinions. I guess this is a discussion about tactical advantages of an SBR vs the mechanical reliabilty of a longer gas system.
    Clyde Armory just got in a bunch of Agency Trade-in LE6933s: $1049 with a Condor bag.

    The 6933 is a great weapon. If your wanting a Colt don't forget about the monolithic upper varieties.

    Le6943.....11.5 inch
    Le6944.....14.?
    Le6945.....10.3

    They're a couple hundred more, but no need to outfit with rails and backup irons. Might be a little tougher to locate though.

    I would jump on the deal from Clyde's if I was even considering another AR purchase.

    Thanks for the heads-up. I tried the link but I don't have Facebook so I couldn't access the link. I went directly to Clyde's website but couldn't find the LEO turn-ins.

    do you mean just the A5 buffer, or the spring and buffer combo?

    What weight A5 buffer do you recommend? H3, H4?

    Spring and buffer combo. I prefer the standard A5 buffer. Most carbines aren't overgassed enough to need an A5H3, or A5H4. As far as I know. But I've seen 5 SBR guns (Not counting my duplicates of the same gun) run this system.

    I'd suggest starting with A5 standard. And work your way up if you need it.

    I like the Sprinco GREEN M16 spring.
