| who makes the best M4gery and how much do they usually run. is the 16in barrel best or a 14in. thanks |
| I have to toss my hat in for Bushmaster (or at least be the first to do so). They had the Military contract to suply M4's before (I've heard} Colt sued and cost them the contract. an M4 is a 14.5 barrel, but since as a civilian you must have at least a 16 inch barrel, you can go with either the 14.5 barrel with a supressor/compensator (depending on pre/postban) permanently tacted on, or a full 16 inch barrel and the added velocity that the 1.5 inchs give. |

Colt makes the best and worst M4s (they're the only ones allowed to make them...). However, IMO, the best M4gery would be a pre-ban Bushmaster with a 14.5" M4 barrel with permanent extended FS, such as the Phantom, Vortex, Gem-Tech Bi-Lock, or KKF A3. The only reason I prefer a Bushmaster M4 upper over the Colt is for the 1:9 twist, and the considerably lower cost due to the higher supply. -Troy |
