What is it that you presume is any different about rifles and carbines?
Are you looking to make an M16A4 clone? Or just a long rifle? Or a DM-R? BCM makes 20" barrels. No idea if they're in stock at the moment. The standards for what's good and what's not will remain the same. Most of the good rail producers produce a 12" version that will work for a 20" rifle. ~Augee |

Find the M16A4 Clone Picture and Discussion thread.
Purchase a Colt MT6700C. Purchase either a Colt, FN, or BCM 20" A2/A4 barrel. Swap the factory HBAR for the gov't profile barrel. Sell the MT6700C barrel. Purchase a KAC M5 RAS off the EE. Add scope, bipod, and light of choice. "Correct" for the scope is typically either the TA31F or TA31RCO-A4 depending on time period. Another Option - BCM complete A4 ~Augee ETA: I'm feeling bored and generous- m16a4 (clone) picture thread |

I went with Palmetto. My A4 clone is still in progress, but I build the stripped lower (CMMG lower and LPK) tonight. Here is the rifle in its current form. I haven't had a chance to shoot it yet, but the upper looks well put together.

I'd look at Bravo Co. But don't forget about the EE. Landman usually has some good deals on 20' colt or fn barrels.
