    If you could only have 1 fighting rifle.......

    Let me preface this by stating, I am not trying to start any brand wars, so fanboys keep out.

    I would like to start a discussion on a setup for a fighting rifle. If you could only have 1 rifle to do everything for you, ie: training classes, range use, HD/SD, etc, how would you have it set up?

    What barrel length? FSP or Recce? What stock? VFG? Optic or Irons? What light? Muzzle Device? Etc.....

    A lot of times we get caught up in what's new and cool, and we lose track of what is really necessary, not that it's an issue, but as we pile up these rifles, many of us still have that one rile that is always the go to one, the one that you have no doubts about any of the gear on it and is your work horse.

    I've got mine set up the way I want it. It serves primarily as HD/SD.

    Colt 6920
    LMT Sopmod stock
    Vicker's BFG sling
    KAC RAS rail with TD vfg
    Surefire G2L in Viking off-set mount
    LMT fixed rear sight
    Aimpoint M4s
    BCM Mod 5 latch
    A2 flash hider
    A2 grip

    This works very well for me, night or day. With the 2moa Aimpoint hitting 6 inch targets at 200 are all on me.

    After several carbines and set ups this one has served me best for my needs. I have a BCM 14.5" nearly assembled but it will serve as a back up until I can get it completed. The lighter weight and shorter length barrel would make it a nice primary, we'll see.

    While not terrible sexy, my current "workhorse" does it's job well and has grown on me. I hit it with some tan Krylon in conjunction with a mesh bag as well. I feel that this carbine is lightweight, reliable and capable of delivering the requisite accuracy needed for HD, training, etc.

    Lower:

    Colt (started life as a 6920)
    SOPMOD Tan stock
    Stark grip
    Stock trigger

    Upper:
    BCM BFH 16" Mid length
    Fail-Zero BCG
    DD 12" Lite Rail
    KAC VFG
    Troy folding BUIS
    Surefire CA556SA
    BCM Gunfighter CH with small latch

    Optic:
    Aimpoint Comp M2 w/ LT mount (100M zero with M855)

    Light:
    Surefire X300

    Sling:
    Ares Armor Huskey Amentum Slider Sling

    What I have and What I want are two different things.

    For an all around purpose I would go with:
    M4 type rifle
    Aimpoint optic of your choice.
    BUIS of your choice.
    2 point sling like Vickers or Gear Sector.
    BCM Mod4 charging handle.
    DD RIS II or Omega 12X rail.
    TLR1 light.
