| I need a lightweight upper for my wife's AR. The standard 20" A2 is too heavy for her. I am thinking of a 16" M4 or maybe a fluted 16 - 20" barrel with a good comp. Any suggestions for the barrel profile and comp. |

AGREE 100% ON ANY COMP, EVEN OURS. TOO MUCH NOISE WOULD BE A SURE WAY TO SPOIL A NEW SHOOTER'S EXPERIENCE. THAT BEING SAID, OUR M.S.T.N. QC BRAKE IS QUIETER THAN ANY OTHER BRAKE. I HAVE FOUND THAT THE PHANTOM 5C2 IS FAR QUIETER ON A 10.5" THAN A STANDARD A2, MUCH TO MY SURPRISE. I CAN'T SAY IF IT WOULD HAVE THE SAME EFFECT ON A LONGER BARREL. WES GRANT M.S.T.N. |
Check out the CDNN M16 uppers, they are the pencil barrel 20", and are very light weight. If you mainly shoot 55 grain, they are a great buy. |
+1. I did this and put it on a LMT lower with a Colt CAR stock and let me tell you, that is one light and handy setup. Quick to mount, and easy to manhandle (or womanhandle as the case may be). Only negative factor is how quickly the barrel heats up. But, it cools quick too. |
