    Ive always had a rifle as that was one of the first AR's I owned.Currently still have my old 20" M15A2 NM.
    I also have 20" SPR uppers on collapsible stock carbine lowers setup as C7A2 replicas that I use as general purpose do all rifles...which has become my favorite configuration overall.
    I still love my carbines too though.

    I recently added one, 20" BCM, standard hg's, GG&G light mount on fsb(left side) carbine buffer and IMOD stock, KAC 600m rear and Aimpoint. Considering an ACOG (TA 11J-G)

    It's a smooth shooting stick, love it, not heavy.

    I do have what is basically an "A4-ish" rifle. I had a bunch of spare parts laying around, and a ban-era Colt 20" barrel. Plus a Colt carrying handle from a 6920 just sitting in a parts box.

    So I sent the barrel to Steve at Adco, who did his customary awesome thread job. (Great job, Steve. It looks perfect!)

    I'm debating buying a used KAC RAS, just to complete the look.

    It is a nice bit of nostalgia. I was in the FMF when we transitioned from the M-16A1 to the M-16A2. I much preferred the A2.

    I'll have to shoot a photo, and put it in the picture thread.

    Honestly, if you want a rifle, most of us could probably build one from spare parts. I think I bought an LMT A2 stock from Grant, and a set of handguards off the EE.

    A 20" MSAR AUG clone is my next rifle purchase.

    I have played with a few 20 inch carbines, what I like about them is the rifle length gas tubes.

    I pretty much find everything else better on the 16 inch variations.

    I do have a 18 inch mid length profile though. its for reaching out a little further.

    Got into some "fun" service rifle matches over the past year and was the perfect excuse to go back to my 1985/6 ish Colt A2. My first black rifle! The only thing I changed on it was replacing the A2 length stock with an A1 (more my size...)

    This is something I've been debating for awhile. The CAV Arms A1 length A2 stock is most likely what I'll go with if and when it happens. The A2 stock length works for me, but I was always a bit more comfortable when shooting the M16A1.

    I've thought about adding a 20" to the stable but I can't decide A2 or A4. I also thought maybe a mini A4, similiar but more practical. Cavarms A1 stock, 16 BCM light weight midlength with a TA 33, decisions, decisions.

    I have been thinking about buying my old 6601 back from my brother. I don't know if he will be open to the idea though.
