Id do the GAU5 just because I had a lot of contact with them in the mid 90's, and they were cool. All hand stamped and overstamped, just some arms room "fuck it lets make one" parts whores that were just awesome.

I already have an XM177E2, but, if I were to do it over I'd make a GAU-5A/A instead.
I like the slick side upper for its simplicity. It's got everything you need, and nothing you don't! |

Quoted: Ok if you had the parts to build either but only just enough parts to build one, which would you build and why. Hypothetical I know as no one can only build just one but for the sake of the convo assume you are only ever going to build just the one. I would lean to the GAU 5 in that I lke the cleaner and simpler (KISS) lines and lesser parts with no FA and it just seems to be a little more esoteric.   |

Call me crazy but I prefer the xm177e2 with the FA. Just looks more visually appealing to me.

I've always preferred the XM177E2. I like the tear drop FA.

Those are sweet carbines.
I am going GAU unless I just happen to come across something that compels me to go XM say like an original early barrel assembly. |
