| I'm thinking about getting an AR but can't decide weather I want a 14.5"/14.7" middy, 16" middy, or a 20" A4. I currently don't have an AR. It would be a general purpose gun. I prefer 1/7 twist, and CHF if possible, I'll either get it from BCM, PSA, or possibly DD |

I had thought about getting an SBR stamp, but the 16" would be a lot less hassle.

I had to sell my first one a few months ago. sorry for the confusion |
| For your one and only AR, I'd go with a 16" lightweight midlength. That being said, my favourite AR is my BCM 14.5 LW midlength . I have a 20" too, but it serves a different purpose than a general, do-it-all rifle. You're interest in LW rifles leads me to believe that's what your looking for. |
| I plan to build more AR's so what ever I don't build now I will build later, but I can only afford one right now. I'm not the type that changes muzzle devices every week, but would like to be able to take them off if I needed to repair something. So I would probably make it an SBR if I went the 14.5" or 14.7" route. Is there really that much difference in performance and handling with the 14.5'' and the 16''? |

The 14.5" will be slightly lighter and obviously shorter...The ballistics wont change enough to really notice. If your going to go SBR I would go with a 12.5" and make it worth the extra cost of the stamp. |

I've narrowed it down to the 16" middy and the A4, decisions between the two... 16" middy for your only AR it's much more versatile than the A4 go with a recce style... 1-4x optics, grip pod or QD bipod and grip/afg, UBR or SOPMOD, extended free float rail, low profile gas block... it will be full of win |
