Hi all,
Looking for some next AR purchase advise.
I have an 11.5" and a 16" lw middy and just sold a second 16" standard profile middy due to an offer I couldn't pass up.
This leaves me with $$$ to pick up a third AR.
This is complete and total WANT situation, not need.
I originally got a second 16" middy because I thought having a backup AR to my other 16 " would be nice.
Now I'm thinking maybe variety is the spice of life and I should do a 20" rifle built as opposed to doubling up on 16".
I have done a bit of research and the general consensus is that the extra 4" only gives a few hundred fps boost and that the difference is only worth it for shooting 400 meters plus. I also read that it's not that much softer than a 16 middy. I guess a lot folks feel the 20" is a bit obsolete now.
What say you guys? Is a 20" different enough than my 16" middy to make it worth it?
I don't really ever shoot my ARs past 100 yards, but I guess I am intrigued by the classic rifle and having something different - but if it's not really worth it over another 16"er I will just double up again.
Not interested in other lengths or calibers.
