| I have been lurking here and learned alot from you guys on how to build, but this is my first real post.I am thinking of building a carbine with a fluted barrel, or M4gery.What are the pros and cons of either??? I am thinking of model 1 for the carbine, and maybe RRA for the M4. Thanx in advance!!!!! |

Welcome [smoke] Why do you want a fluted barrel? If ya have a heavy barrel then it makes sense, but the M4 profiled barrel isn't heavy except from the front sight base forward, the weight saving probably wouldn't be significant. A heavy 14.5" barrel makes the weapon slightly nose heavy but still more manageable than a 20" HBAR. Get a flat top to give yourself flexibility in optics, later get a RAS or SIR, then flash light, foregrip...welcome to the money hole [:d] |

The only reason for the fluted barrel is that it looks "cool"!! Is the M4 a heavy profile under the handgaurds???? I am going with a flattop, I have a carry handle from my Colt 20" I can attach untill I get some kind of optics. What are the options for lights?? Do they make mounts for Surefire 6P??? and a pressure switch for it????? I have really got the addiction, and am trying to infect my co-workers!!! already have one guy ordering a lower!!!! Thanx |
