Yeah I don’t know for some weird reason I like the way that A4’s look I don’t use mine as much as the 16 inch, nostalgia I guess
Red, They just feel right to me. Love how they shoot also.
This forum has taught me alot! This place AND hours reading and researching and listening to the ones who know what's what. You'll figure out who they are.
I did as many suggest, and you just cant go wrong doing it and bought a BCM, fine rifle and never failed. Centurion Arms would also rank very very high. BUT, I have built every AR since and in 8 years I've had only a single issue with any and that was an over gassed barrel so not my fault.
I did put out the money for all tools needed, quality tools to. I also never bought ANY junk parts that could even remotely effect function or reliability. Maybe a cheap handguard or two and I'd bet the lives of my wife and daughter on any rifle I own. It can be done but you have to arm yourself with knowledge, patience, top shelf parts and humility. Dont build anything fancy with lightweight bcg and go changing springs. Build simple with parts proven and to an established standard. Listen to others too. It can be done but buying a complete rifle from a top teis maker is just price of mind.

I have mostly 4 position Colt Defense extensions and I have no issues with them. I have one on an SPR and it works for precision well. I would advise against removing it considering Colt Defense makes the best extensions and stakes everything exceptionally well. If you can't swing the Colt get a SOLGW Blaster Pack with enhanced FCG and use your Aero's and get the extension hardware from SOLGW. I can assemble a lower in a few minutes properly, if I don't lose the pivot pin retaining spring and have to search for it.. lol
Since you want a SHTF rifle and S may HTF any day now, who knows? Parts all seem to be in short supply right now. Buying a BCM sounds to me like the best, quickest solution. Maybe you could call BCM, tell them what you want and get a recommendation.
I was recently at a large local sporting goods store. I was surprised they had three Colt Defense 6920 NIB in stock for a reasonable price (normal retail). Given the current political climate and the potential for civil war 2.0 to break out due to loss of election trust, I tend to agree, you should get what you can. I have had luck finding ammo at normal prices in big sporting stores and some manufacturer factory stores. Right now the prices are up and down and lots of junk ammo online going for too dollar 200-300% or more in some cases. If you can find a decent duty grade rifle I would go for it. And make sure you get mags they are available at Cabelas and Bass Pro for $13 each. Most bulk buys are not that great right now for ammo but I would bite the bullet if I were in such a position.
Hey, I see you have not mentioned anything about a nice SHTF optic to put on this carbine. However, since I think you would eventually want something, I would recommend an LPVO with an etched reticle. I specifically suggest the Trijicon AccuPoint TR24 or TR25 for this role. They are lightweight, rugged/reliable, don't have to worry with electronics and they don't rely on batteries for illumination. Their fiber optic illumination will last lifetimes and always be there as long as there is sunlight or an ambient lightsource. When there isn't, there is still a nice dark etched reticle.
