I will be buying several weapons to update my arsenal.  First is a Glock 26 for CC, it will compliment my 17 nicely and I can carry a 17+2 mag as a backup mag to the 26's 10 rounds.  On the topic of AR's, I owned an Olympic PCR HBAR with an unlined 20" barrel and iron sights.  Out of stupidity, I sold it.  Now I need another to compliment my post-ban mini-14 setup.  I want lightweight, accuracy comparable to my OLY PCR, utmost reliability and durability, iron sights, and packability.  I want to spend less than 1500 for the entire setup, including a dozen magazines.  Lemme hear it guru's!!!

The new Bushmaster M-4 type post-ban carbine
would be a good choice.
They can be had for around $900.00.
That leaves $600.00 for mags, ammo and goodies.

Hope that helps.
