They've got these all back in stock and I'm kind of thinking of picking one up. I'm just trying to decide between 14.5" carbine w/ pinned A2X (LW or M4?) 16" LW midlength I need advice on how to proceed (and probably pictures for reference) |

If not full auto get the LW and build the whole thing with LW in mind. You will love it.
ETA: Get mid length. Also why not a LW mid in 14.5" with a pinned battle comp? ETA Part 2: Also the whole argument of going 14.5" and a P/A flash hider wont let you change your F/H, how often does anyone actually change their F/H? By then you will need a new barrel anyway and if for some reason you want it changed a gunsmith ca easily do for cheap. |

I have two 14.5" LW mids with the ext A2 hider perm attached and they are outstanding. I sold my govt profile uppers after my first LW. They are so much handier and look great. |

LW middy. 16 or 14.5, whichever is available first Yep, I have both. I'd usually suggest the 16" just because My only advice is to get the best flash hider you can afford, if it's going to be pinned :O (Not that there's anything wrong with the a2, i'm not so sure about the extended a2's) |
