If you were putting together a kit similar to the deployment kits you see (or have) with the 10.3/5 and 14.5 but 14.5 was your shorter option what other upper would you have in your kit?  I guess I'm thinking a 14.5 0-400, what upper would you include 400+

The answer you are looking for is an 18" upper, but the reason you don't see deployment kits like that is that the answer to longer ranges these days is either a different gun or a radio.

If you're gonna Lone Wolf it, a true deployment ready kit would have an entry length upper with a red dot (eoTech, Aimpont). It would also have an 18"-20" DMR like upper with a quality scope that is no less than 4-22+X??. The DMR upper could ride in your backpack, remove pull two pins and your in business. You could do this with either 5.56 or 7.62, your choice. I like the choice of having two uppers for different scenarios.

Yep, an 18" upper with a rifle length gas system, free float hand guards and a decent scope.

Right now i have a 16" middy for out to 500m and a 10.5 for closeup. 16" is a good close or far shooter.


If i had to choose one id prolly go with a 14.5 recce style and a 1-4 iluminated.

hatexoc's kit is pretty good.

As I understand it, and that's not very well, given the capabilities of the 5.56mm cartridge, I'd want a 10.5" with an RDS and a 16" upper with a precision scope. Not sure 18" gets you much more and if I needed to go that far, I'd be using a 300WM or .338Lapua bolt gun anyway. So basically an SBR and a recce type. I think that would cover pretty much everything you'd encounter.

Just my $0.02.

Hatexoc your "kit" is what made me think of putting one together.  I'm not a huge short ar fan, I owned an mk18 mod 1 clone and ended up selling it to fund my m4a1 block 2 clone which I prefer to it. Also I have an a4 clone but I don't think that's what I'm looking for as far as another upper for my kit.
