The A2 Govt. style. Improved sights, longer length of pull, brass deflecter. Utilitarian no frills. Reminds me of me.

I'm with uncle buck, 20" AR-15A2.
Until I get my 18" A1 buttstocked dissipator built. If that goes well, I'm sure it will be my favorite. |

hey fuatos! tough one...let me see...ummmm....M4gery! or like 16" shorty,light,extra-tactical,indoor-outdoor,super versatile,hopefully a preban,feels like an extension of your arm,slightly longer than an M4,easy to rappel/run/climb with, mini-fatty!
- just one man's opinion though. |

This is like asking who the most beautiful woman is.
I like the 16" HBAR, but I am wondering if a 20" Gov't profile might be the ultimate - longer sight radius, higher velocity and lighter too. |

gee - i'm in with uncle buck too, i'd have to go with my mt6551. light, fast, i know how to shoot it well, better velocities, stronger built and easier on my ears than my 'm4'. plus it has the certain nostalgia for me...

I would have to agree on the Dissipator as being my favorite...
a) Not much longer than a 16" carbine b) A2 stock vs. telestock c) Longer sight radius d) A2 sights e) Post-ban (cheaper and quieter with no F.S.er) f) Mine has the earlier triangular grips and it kinda has that A1 look to it I only wish I had it in the flat-top version... I may retrofit an flat-top receiver to this weapon in the future. [img]http://albums.photopoint.com/j/View?u=926068&a=6762421&p=23693819&Sequence=0[/img] FITTER out |

I didn't know about the bayonet lug/bbl. length fact until after I got the rifle. You are right.
Now, I don't care. The only reason I need a bayonet is for the blade collection. Still, it's nice to have it and not want it. I can't hang a bayonet on the 24" V-MATCH, either, but the targets and varmints don't care, either. Looks like a pre-ban 20" upper will have to join the family someday so I can have a bayonet on the lug. Nah. |

In theory you never have to ask yourself that question because you can swap uppers to your heart's content.
But then you have to ask yourself, "Do I really want a target upper attached to a collapsable buttstock lower with heavy combat trigger?" Or the reverse, "Do I really want a hair target trigger with adjustable target buttstock attached to my M4 upper?" |

One lower and two uppers makes for 1 1/2 Bushmasters so far...

I find that over 3/4 of my shooting with ARs is done from a rested position from a bench or from the prone. I probably get the most enjoyment out of my ARs that offer the highest level of accuracy.
Love sitting back behind my 17 pound lighting rod of an AR15 and watching through the scope on 20x as the bullets punch holes through the paper at 100-150 yards but yet the sight picture isn't lost and the only noticable recoil is due to a bit of "buffer slap." Watching squirrels splatter all over the hillside no matter what the range is just a hoot, I don't get that with my ARs that carry red dots or iron sights. I can't hear the 223 rounds hitting the steel at 500 yards but through the scope I can watch the paint chip off the steel. Just love putting the rounds where I want them with the AR15. As for most versatile. I'd say a 20inch A3, get a detachable carry handle and get it zero'd specifically for that upper and don't touch it, do the same thing with a scope that you are comfortable with and now you've got yourself a rifle that can switch out sights in a hurry and is very capable out beyond 400-500 yards. My AR10 and my long range AR15 are by far my favorites. I just can't wait to start monkeying around with the AR10, a really accurate 700-800 yard AR10 really gets me hot and bothered but the price of the thing really scares the hell out of me. |

Just curious how you shoot through the one with little scope on it. Not just you, but I see A LOT of people have weapons set up like that. I tried it with mine, but couldn't get the same sight picture. (I don't have 4 inch protruding cheek bones) So I bought the raised cheek piece and if something went wrong with scope I couldn't get a good sight picture with my iron sights. And the cheek piece is a pain in the ass to get on and off. |

Maggot---
The answer to the question of how I shoot with that little scope and no cheekpiece is: I found out that for my $40 BEC cheap Chinese scope, I have to stick my eye right up to the ocular lens to get a sight picture and crane my neck as you suggested...and as for the detachable cheekpiece, I, too, found that a sight picture was unobtainable with my head in that position. It's one of those setups to have your cake and eat it, too, so, you ultimately end up hungry! I've since taken off the scope and decided the right way for this rifle is to be an iron sighted carbine. The little pad on the "TeleStyle" buttstock is a 1/8" sorbothane pad I got from Brownells and cut to fit. I just love to have the accessories handy. |
