[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Which to go to next?

Posted: 8/11/2005 11:21:37 PM EDT

Only 24 days with my Bushmaster 20" A2 and I'm already suffering from the effects of BRD. I'm wondering what to get next. I'm thinking between 4 different things. Either (1)save up for an M4 type AR. (2)Save up for an A4 20". (3)Save up for a 20" M16 profile barrel. Or (4)save up for magazines and ammunition. Which would you go with?

Or save up and do a 11½ inch or shorter SBR.

If you already have 20 or so USGI mags and at least 1K of XM193 on hand then I'd say a 16" midlength

I always went for buy another upper, then build another lower...that way, you *always* have something to spend money on, and before you know it, you've got 6 or 8 full rifles. Of course, by that time, you need to buy another safe lol. And the wife will have left you by then, too...but that's part of the appeal

Actually, the best thing you could do is buy the white delrin action block, an armorer's wrench, and the Yankee Hill wrench. That's about $100 that will save you money in the long run, since you'll be able to build anything you see out there that you like, yourself.
