Love my M4s !!! I sold my 20in. DCM upper to a buddy of mine that only had a lower, and I'm begining to miss it. I think I'll put together another 20in. one peice at a time for fun.
As for looking at them both sprawled out on my bed. Well, the next time I stop by Fredericks of Hollywood, I'm picking up a little somthing for my M4s. |

My 20" is a much better all around weapon.
More accurate at range, better velocity at distance, a more stable platform for select fire. But I still like my M-4gery for the "cool" factor. |

Quoted: I had another AR but it was stolen last week. Somehow my girlfriend moved it to her side of the closet. Weird. I think she wants one. Who else on the board likes the 20" AR's? All I see recently is M4 types. That's pretty cool. Probably worth losing one under those circumstances. Maybe some pink handgaurds would be in order? I don't think my wife would like that, though. She even commented on my stock when I first got the rifle, that she thought the stock should be darker black. My wife likes my A2 a whole lot. She never shoots my Mauser. She has a CZ452, that she likes a lot. I may buy another A2 before I build an M4. I like the 20" A2 look best, as well. |

I just sold a 20" A2, it was sad to see it go. I'd ignored it for months, but when I pulled it out of the safe to box it up it made me sad.

I sold my 20-inch PWA last winter and have missed it ever since. I have a complete Bushmaster lower that I’d really like having a 20-inch pre-ban H-BAR upper on come Sept 15.
Regardless of the barrel length, I’ve defiantly found that the simpler/less expensive set ups are a lot more fun that a really tricked out weapon that you dare not get a nick or a scratch on. Seems like most of the weapons I get have to be added on to and they get to the point where I don’t want to take them out to shoot because I might blemish that $1000 scope or whatever. I usually revert to the more “beater” rifles. I gotta quit doing this. |

I am waiting until after the ban to make my 20 inch. I cant really justify to myself a full size rifle on a preban lower, with what they cost now.
Till then, its my M4gery, currently out of action. |

I'd have to agree with Gunslinger.
I like the "cool factor" on a 16"er. I'm in the middle of a build now which will probably end up being a RRA Tactical Entry model. My 20"er is my Highpower gun now(actually the only complete AR I have). I also have in the works a 24" (stripped lower only) which will be for the hordes of VarmintCong. Anyone wishing to donate to the builders fund? Kinda like a Habitat for Humanity thing! J/K on the donations |

I like shooting my 20" rifle more than my carbines. Next rifle I build will be another 20" gov't profile.
Hearing the thwack of rounds on steel out of a 20" vs a carbine is a lot more rewarding [:D] |

I also sold my 20" a couple of years ago and regretted it ever since. I just finished putting this together but she's still not done yet.

It'll be here soon! Mine's almost the same, except I've got a Phantom on the muzzle, a free floating RAS, RRA NM trigger, and an ARMS#40. Love that A4!!! Just a hair more than my M4! |

Sweet A4 you got there!
Model 1 has A2 kits for $400, pretty good price, all I need is a $100 RRA lower and I have a AR for $500. At that price I could buy 2 a month and have a pretty good supply in about a years time. Imagine walking into my closet and seeing 24 20" A2's stacked up on a rack. I'm drooling. |

I just finished putting together a 16" M-4gery but my next build will be a 20" 1/7. I figure I have one AR for short to medium range and one for medium to long range. Like most people, I prefer to have both [:)]

Yeap. Im a 20" myself. I thought about getting a shorter one for kicks. My favorie is an A1 . The light weight of it all is a big turn on. I have a Preban Colt A2 also.Its alittle heavyer because Colt didn't turn down the barrel under the handguards.But I love her just the same.WarDawg
