    Yes I was, and I still am. My main concern is outfitting my wife with something that will be great for her.

    Likewise, gals (and many guys) seem to like the feel of MOE over many rails. Especially quad rails, etc.

    Just depends on who is it primarily for, just know the gals tend to be more sensitive/picky about forward weight. For my daughter, I'm thinking LW 14.5 barrel with pinned hider, carbine action, MOE or super light rail.
    I've been thinking about something like this as it has been suggested several times in this thread. I broadened my search a bit and came across this;

    http://phoenix.backpage.com/SportsEq...rifle/23150829

    Given the recommendations here, I'm thinking this may be perfect for her.

    It does seem high, unless I'm missing something. That upper on the Bravo Company website is listed at $725 with BCG and MBUS. Add $45 for the A2x and we're at $770. I'm not sure where the other $1080 is.. what am I missing?

    The fellow with the BCM is apparently an armorer who builds and sells on the side. He mentioned to me that he is happy to throw on a 16" LW BCM or DD bbl to make the weapon lighter for the wife. Doesn't have a 14.5 right now, but does have 16" LW both with FSB and without. That ought to help! Thanks again for all the info.
