Quoted: don't laugh as i don't know :(
i am thinking about either a bushmaster or rock river arms with an adjustable stock, like a rra tactical car a4 or bushmaster carbine 16. my question is this - after i shoot for some time, can i just put another upper on it like an upper with a 20-24" barrel for some long range (200yds +) shooting? or am i way off here?
also, what is a 223 wylde chamber? i know the differences between a 5.56 and 223, but am not familiar with this.

Wylde is an intermediate chamber, popular with match shooters...
It allows for more 'room' than .223, but is tighter than 5.56, and works better with extra-long heavy bullets than either...
As for rifle configs, if you plan to use a 20" or 24" barrel, get a fixed stock, A2 upper.
Especially true if you would eventually like to shoot a competitive match, as telextocks & optics are not permitted...
If you just want to blast around, get what you want....
In general, your first rifle should be an A2.
Get the carbine for later, once you've learned to shoot on the more accurate/forgiving design...
