I'm looking to make my first AR purchase. My intent is a SHTF Urban Rifle (seems a more likely scenario with each passing yr.). My likes are straight forward: KISS, functional only, anticipation beats a cure, and so forth. After looking and reading for months on end, I'm leaning towards RRA mid-length with: -chromed barrel -free-float RRA half-quad handguard (front 1/2 is quadrail, rear 1/2 is round grip) -green furn., fixed stock, Hogue grip -A4 with flip-up rear sites Questions: 1. Are there any advantages to a stainless steel barrel? 2. If so, are there coatings that will adhere to stainless? 3. What advantages would there be in flip-up front sights? Thank you for your insights/comments. |

I have a stainless that is kg coated courtesy of ADCO Firearms, you can also duracoat, and i'm positive there are many more that will adhere, as far as flip up sights, you can use a primary sight/optic like a Eotech/Acog/Scope, and if that happens to fail you remove and flip up your BUIS. You know, all else fail SHTF type stuff. I don't know about the rail though i would get full rails and just put some covers on it, just my opinion. |
My replys in red Sounds like you got a good plan, cleaning gear & good mags are a must. |
