RRA or Armalite Midlenght might be the best. Never shot one but the recoil is suppossed to be a bit lighter. Also has the collapsable stock which she may need depending on her size.

Ultralight barrel is definately a good thing for women - it's usually a heavy forend that gives them more trouble than the recoil.
My wife is 4'11" and doesn't do well with recoil, and her CavArms doesn't bother her at all even tho it does have a stronger recoil impulse than an M4gery. However, a hvy barrel tends to droop on her shooting offhand. |

My wife's favorite is a 300 whisper with a suppressor... actually it is mine, but hard to tell her that! Since I got a new 338S barrel, once the new bulldog can is made up for it, I am sure that the 300W will be gone to her side of the bed for good!
Small, light, low recoil, quiet and dead sexy... all a girl needs! |

I wonder why no one ever reccomends the Colt AR6520? That's what I have and I love it and it is the lightest one I have found. My wife covets it ;)

Oh for her to shoot?!!!! Thought we were going to be talking about a "hit" on your wife!  j/k of course the Carbon Bushmaster mentioned above gets a lot of bad press around here. Purists won't touch one, and are adamant about not being seen with one nearby They are probably OK, but the weight savings isn't that much and they dollar savings isn't at all I'd go with the lightweight barreled Bushmaster, with CAR hand-guards and collapsible stock, and be good-to-go. Makes a great shooter and is reasonably light and maneuverable for women, teens, and us big guys too wish I could get mine to shoot with me! |

My GF loves her cav arms. I too would suggest a light barrel to aleviate off hand shooting fatigue. I would also suggest a adjustable stock if she is much shorter than 5-6.

I would have to see a pic of your wife. But, for the most part, I would say that is a good trade.

Judging by her arms id say the hell with the AR get her a M14...or okay the SOCCOM M14.

My sister in law.....she's a hottie, but then again your not my enemy....you can't see her and my mother in law standing down range from JL's wife in the larger picture.
I could air drop them both into Afgan ,Pak, Iraq or Iran and the war would be over in a matter of days. If Al Queda thought they were like all American women they would surrender asap!. I brought a shovel and two bags of lime over to there house one day. One said "Plan on Gardening?" I replied " Well, I plan on putting somthing in the ground". The other said "Oh I hate digging holes", I said, "I'll dig, I just need you to jump in after to make sure it's big enough." |

Cav Arms makes a high quality lightweight AR that would be an excellent weapon for your wife, and they can also be purchased in a variety of colors.

lightweight M-4 style or midlength, and a +1 for an MGI buffer.
If you can stand the noise, think about a brake instead of a FS. Try to make it as light and soft shooting as possible. |
