First off I am not new to the AR platform. I have two full sized Bushmaster guns I have used on and off for the last decade. One being a 20" XM15, the other a DCM match gun. I shot Highpower for a while at Camp Perry before losing interest and moving to the pistol. Not that I lost my love for the AR.
Recently I have thought about picking up a smaller version of the AR for just normal plinking and home defense. So I have been reading up on my M4 type guns. I can get a Rock River gun for a good price when I go to Camp Perry next year. I have been reading conflicting reports of the guns since looking hard at them.
I am not really interested in a flatop so I would be getting something like the A2 CAR or the A2 Mid-length with most likely the M4 stock.
So my questions are these....
Is the Rock River really as bad a gun as some claim?
Would I be better served with the 16" A2 CAR, or the 16" Mid-length?
Would a gun such as a CAR sized gun with an A2 upper and collapsible butt stock be considered an M4A2 or just a plain carbine?
I have an Armalite AR10 A2 carbine that is just about the perfect gun. I would really like to have an 5.56 version and the Rock River is the easiest for me to get as I would not have to special order one. I can just pick it up directly from them at a price that is cheaper than a dealer price. This year they had the National Match guns for just 1050.00.
