    I dont know many people that like to heft around a 9+ pound rifle all day. I will let you borrow my Predator Pursuit and run it through an all day course.

    All AR's are fun to shoot. I think its more fun to shoot with optics because they allow you to shoot better. But if you are on a budget than a KISS rifle makes sense. Its more about money than anything.

    Well, we are guessing that you have never been through a carbine school or at least had an instructor advise you that optics and a flashlight are must have items on a defensive weapon.

    But that 4 ounce flash light is really heavy.

    Nope... Never have been through a carbine school. Don't get me wrong I am not against having lights or optics on a rifle. Due to the fact that I am not storming buildings or using an AR as my main HD weapon I don't see the need for such items on a KISS rifle. Like previous posters said.. It depends on what your purpose of use is.

    You have a right to use what you want as a home defense weapon. However a good .223/5.56 carbine is about the best home defense tool you can get. Better than a shotgun and far better than a pistol. I believe in weapon lights on all defensive firearms. I have them on my rifle, shotgun and duty pistol. Being able to ID your target before you shoot is not an option but a necessity.

    Hey let me ask you guys this while I have your attention. Do you guys check the headspace on your rifle after upgrading to a diff BCG? I did when I swapped mine out, but I see lots of posts about guys swapping BCG's but never say a word about checking headspace.

    Even if you THINK there is a CHANCE of having to use your AR for a defensive purpose, get a light and an optic on it. Neither item will turn your AR into a 9lbs beast.

    It is always a good idea (especially if the barrel has a lot of rounds through it). If the bolt is new though, I would not worry about it too much.
