    I'd want my back up AR to be as similar as possible. But once this is done, then it give you a reason to justify to yourself the building of your 3rd gun, then your 4th...

    My primary and backup guns are 6920's. These are the only AR's that I duplicate. The rest are for a specific need, for a fun gun when I'm feeling "retro", or for "just because".

    If two is one and one is none then by the transitive property shouldn't two equal none?

    I am glad that they are the way they are, however I will never make similar rifles again. I feel that these are suitable for everything from house fighting out to 300 yards very easy and up to 500 yards from a good prone position with some time. My next will be a SPR type build, but only one
    sapper36 nice pair
    If I were to do Identical rifles probably be something similar.
    Something general purpose that I like a lot.

    I believe in having a spare in case your primary weapon goes down. I never believed they had to be identical except for the controls. I make sure the controls are the same for both, whether we are talking about optics, safeties, back up sights, or anything else just so you don't fumble the knobs and switches on your secondary weapon because you are used to them being different on your primary weapon.

    If this saying was not so poetic, it would not be so popular.

    One is one and two is two.

    The original idea was based around the idea of guns. Any guns, not matched sets. Unless you carry one of your carbines slung across you back, then you may be missing the point of it all.

    My take is this

    Guns are like condoms...You always enter hostile territory with 2.

    "Two is one and one is none". Old adage hailing from the Force Recon ranks. Emphasis on team work.


    My father raised me to have at least two rifles for defensive weapons. That way if your primary goes tits up you still have a candle in the wind. As for matching, IMHO the rifles do not need to be identical to one another. I'm more concerned with caliber and magazine commonality (example M16A2 & M4).
