I'm purchasing my first AR. I'm a pistol and shotgun gun guy and don't know much about the ARs. It will be used for police work and at the range for fun. I work in a rural area and I have an 870 for most of my close work. I want the rifle for everything outside shotgun distance. I do general patrol work but I also do game warden type work in the back country. I was planning on putting some sort of optic on it and back up iron sights. The department I work for requires it to be an AR design and in 5.56. this rifle s replacing my issued rifle an M16A1 as the issued one is pretty worn out.  I'm looking at a LMT with a 16" barrel 1:7, colapsable stock and monolithic rail. Is this a good set up for my purposes.

If it is a full auto M16, I would just find the upper I like and put it on the M16 lower.  Look at the ACOGs for optics and Troy for sights.

That LMT is a fine choice! I love the monorail and their "cut" carry handle buis. Lots of rail to do good things.

This and replace the lower parts with new ones.

LMT is a fine choice, so is a Colt 6920

I just ordered a Colt 6920 and can't wait for it to arrive. I would look hard at it and the 6940 both a perfect for what you are wanting them for.
