    I'm getting to that "lighter is better" and "KISS is better" age. All I would need here in is a high quality 16" M4 style patrol carbine with AimPoint PRO.

    Won't mention the brand because I don't need the flak--suffice it to say that it works well for me (and yes, I have owned and used a Colt). A1 upper (I like them) with a LW 16" barrel, D-Fender; a 1.5X24 ACOG, Jard non-adj 3# trigger, Surefire G2 in an Elzetta bracket; GI sling.

    I drive Toyotas and principally shoot revolvers so my tolerance for failures is VERY low; If and when my M4gery shows signs of not cutting it I will mercilessly make changes.

    So far it isn't broke; works every time (KISS) and does right by me.

    If I get another AR it will be a Colt because the outlay between that and any others is comparable nowadays, and they may be the currency of the future.

    Really old post but damn this is noice. Looking for ideas for my SBR and this just speaks to me. I have an AAC SPR/M4 suppressor so I'm looking for the shortest possible that will still be able to use the can. This is awesome.

    Yeah it is old, lol, I saw it up and was like WTF? I remember that.

    I was away from shooting for most of last year , and this year (life got in the way) but got back to it recently. Been enjoying the hell out of my SBR.

    Finally bought an optic and had my first run with it tonight at the local Carbine night. I absolutely love my T1, man what a difference, especially for follow up shots and awkward positions.



    Put this up in the pic thread the other day:
    12.5" DD CHF upper
    AAC breakout
    DD fixed front & rear BUIS
    VTAC RSM
    VTAC FDE tube (11")
    VTAC VFG
    DD BCG
    BCM Mod 4 CH
    BAD Lever
    BAD ASS ambi safety
    Magpul ACS
    VCAS sling
    Colt USGI mags with red springs and Magpul baseplates
    Noveske second lower
    DD LPK
    H2 buffer
    Aimpoint T1 W/ Larue Tall mount (not pictured)
    Magpul MOE +
    AAC M42K can

    Have a Noveske end plate on hand for installation, just needs a dedicated white light and I'm good. Runs like a champ, recoil is nothing, much more accurate than I am, and the can holds poi/poa perfectly which surprised me with both Black Hills and PMC XTAC ammo.

    Such a fun rifle to shoot!

    Thanks to Ben @ boresight for a kick ass build!

    Thanks brother, just posted to give you ideas. It's what I ended up with, when we bought our house last year one of my AR's had to go to help the down payment fund, so I sold my basic 16" setup in favor of this.

    For "my" uses, this rifle covers everything I could need and want.

    And yes I love the bag, got lucky and a local LE distributor hooked me up at a discounted price. Their 5.11 rep personally handled it, got a hell of a price.

    Let us know what you end up with.

    Before you suggest that licensing, background checks, or other restrictions for the 2nd Amendment are reasonable... Apply those same ideas to the 1st and 4th Amendments. Then tell me how reasonable they are.

    I would have to say I'd pick my recent favorite

    12"1:7 FN Barrel
    Centurion carbine cutout rail
    BCM BCG
    DD1.5 fixed rear
    Aimpoint M2

    G&R LPK
    Geissele SD-C
    BAD-ASS selector
    Vltor A5 and emod
    Vickers sling

    Not pictured - but coming soon
    Surefire m300
    OPS Inc M4-M + custom ops collar/MB (chose the M4-M due to the fact it's a smaller 'reflex style' can that'll fit over the free barrel I have forward of the FSB)

    Kinda recent picture
