Hi guys, I've decided to get my first AR this Christmas season. So far I think I am going to get a Bushmaster, and I am trying to decide on whether to get the M4 type 14.5" bbl, or the standard 20" ar-15.
I think I do want a mini-y compensator to reduce muzzle climb and to give the rifle a more authentic look, although I'm not sure if I want to deal with the noise increase. Also I am not sure if I like the shock wave that it might create. I used to have a savage in 30-06 and the shock wave is what annoyed me the most, more then the recoil
hatI also can't decide on whether to get A2 or A3 sights. I figure that if I get A3 sights that will leave room for customization later, if I want to get a scope and bipod for the 20" or a red dot scope for the M4, for example. But do A3 sights with the carry handle look weird compared to the permanant A2 sights, and are they as strong or at least strong enough not to loose zero even when used as a carrying handle?
Thanks for your input.
