| I am relatively new to ARs (<2 years), for please forgive my ignorance. I've been reading these boards for about a month now and frequently see "SPR". I have determined that it means Special Purpose Rifle and generally has an 18" barrel. Now what makes a rifle an SPR. Are there certain guidlines, or is it "just modify your AR however you want and call it an SPR" when asked. I am familiar with the terms M4, A1, A2,A3, A4, 727, carbine, etc, but this SPR is new to me. I have a 16" A2, so is that eligible to be an SPR if I hang the right stuff on it? |

I think, and let me emphasize that I am actually *thinking* about it... is that mr./ms. high ground is right. special purpose rifle. i would kinda tend to believe folks are planning on using the shorter barrels for urban/tight woodsy kinda work and the longer barrels for target/varmint shooting. so i guess if you've got enough bells and whistles to hang onto your rifle and you have a special thing you like to do with it, then it's a spr.
