| What are the specs of the guns that Kilmer and Deniro use in the big downtown shootout? Other than the FA part, I think my next AR needs to be like that. Looks like an A1 carry handle with a 11"ish barrel, collapsable stock (no idea what kind), and A2 flash hider. I imagine it's some Colt LE model? |
Thank you good sir. What about the stock and FH? I was not aware this was such a common thread, didn't think it was such a big deal. next time I'll be sure to start a chrome/moly?, FDE rifles, or MIAD grip thread instead. They seem to be bigger successes. |
There was a thread about it a week or so ago, quite a few like them because they are simpler and lighter weight. The AR I have now has enough rails for toys and such, the A1 upper is just classic. |
Correct. Ever take an A1 and a A2 upper apart? A2 is a royal PITA compared to the A1. Plus, in a "need to shoot now" situation, I'd rather not be bothered with a screwed up windage knob due to the gun riding in a trunk. I'll play with the windage when I need that 300 yard shot, not when I need minute-of-bad-guy from across the street. |
It's been a long time since I have messed with an A2 sight since I sold my flat top carry handle a few years ago, but I'm pretty sure that the windage knob on mine was pretty solid and wouldn't get moved unless you wanted it to. I have never heard of this being a problem before, but what do I know.  I cannot say that I ever needed to dismantle the sight either. Again, another non issue. How often does anybody need to take apart their rear sight piece by piece? Eh I guess if you want a HEAT gun you want a HEAT gun. I'm just saying I don't think they necessarily had fixed carry handles with A1 sights for any real advantage. That's just the way they came from the rental place.
