    If you had only two 5.56 AR's? If you had only three? (what Barrel length)

    Just trying to finalize what I've got before the next panic. (and maybe yourself, too)

    Looking for versatility here. Optics can easily be changed of course.

    If you had only two AR's (5.56) what barrel lengths would you want?

    How about three AR's?

    For example would it be an 11.5 and a 20 in? And if you chose three would it be two 14.5's and a 20?

    Would any of them be a 20 in or 11.5?

    I'm having a hard time narrowing this down myself.

    Well I only have two right now, one is a 16in Mid length, and the other a 16in Carbine length. If I was gonna get a third I would go with a 20" classic rifle build. But right now im looking at getting a .308 AR, preferably with 18" barrel.

    Possibility is always there.

    Knowing what I know now, 12.5" barrel for a great general purpose rifle. Equip it with a high quality stainless steel barrel that has been lead lapped, with concentric threads, and quench-purge-quench treated, as well as a spare upper in the exact same size and configuration. Throw a Noveske Switchblock on both as well as a Saker 7.62 can with the 5.56 cap.

    But that is going a little too detailed so yeah, 12.5" in Pairs.

    My 12.5 with a can is the same overall length as my 14.5.
    Those two are my favorites.
    I have all length barrels except 13.5 and 15.5 because they don't make those sizes.

    I would have a LMT 10.5 and two Bcm 20".

    Two = a 14.5" with pinned MD and an 18" SPRish precision rifle
    Three = add a 10.5 or 11.5" SBR (or pistol with SB 15 if unable to SBR).

    Go in peace, but be prepared for violence.
