I don't thing you have enough M4 barrels.
Nice look collection. |

Damn,
Looks like you need to take some of that money and get you some Glass brother |

Quoted: Damn, Looks like you need to take some of that money and get you some Glass brother +1 If it were me I'd sell one or two of them and buy a couple of quality optics. There's no point in having a bunch of mediocre rifles with no optics. Consolidate down to a smaller number of really good setups.

How about a MK12 or some sort of 18" SPR? That would go nice with the collection..

Excellent collection. Number 4 reminds me of a Colt GAU5/A that I used to carry.

Dieter, lookin good!
I think DA Rice wants to examine those... |

I agree with what some of the other guys have said Ditch some and get some Quality Optics.
Def look into a middy DI system (BCM comes to mind) Softer shooting, quicker follow up shots. 2 more inches of RAILestate (if your going to run a rail) |

Quoted:
I like numbers 4 and 6. What will the 20" gun be? the 20inch rifle plans are... -plain jane SP1 type clone / retro build -plain jane M16A2 clone -M16A3 clone (detach carry handle) -Magpul'd out 20inch with some sort of variable optic perhaps |

IMO, far too much of the same in that collection. Nice guns, but just clones of one another for the most part...which defeats a big part of why AR's are so much fun.....variation and modular ability. A half dozen M4 profile carbines? To the exclusion of all other possibilities? You got me man.

Seems to me that 1 & 2 are exactly alike..... pretty much same comment for 5 & 6.
Sell 2, 5, and 6. Build a precision AR with optics using the A2-stocked lower, and maybe a tricked out middy with the 93-stocked lower. Quoted:
-M16A3 clone (detach carry handle) The A3 is a full-auto A2. Did you mean A4? |

i am as bad as anyone at having in the past at having a ton of multiple similar ARs, but honestly I think one carbine with a light and nice optic is plenty of fun.

I thought an A2 was with a carry handle and A3 was detachable carry handle? a real M16A3 is full-auto with detachable handle and an A4 is 3round burst with D/H. But I may be wrong.
What you are thinking of is the "A3" term in the commercial market referring to the detachable carry handle. The Military A# numbering system denotes the revision number, such as M1 abrams, M1A1 abrams, M1A2 abrams, ect. and has no actual reference to the carry handle itself. THE REVISIONS ARE AS FOLLOWS M16 M16A1 - add CL bbl and chamber, forward assy, 3 prong FH deleted and replaced with birdcage, mag release fenced on lower M16A2 - complete bbl reprofile, upper revised to "A2" configuration, round FSP deleted and replaced with square, buttstock reprofiled, grip reprofiled, triangle hanguards deleted and replaced with round, teardrop forward assy deleted and replaced with round, birdcage deleted and replaced with "A2" birdcage, AUTO replaced with BURST M16A3 - same as above except AUTO M16A4 - upper revised to flattop configuration, detachable carry handle added, round hanguards deleted and replaced with PIC1913 rail system, AUTO replaced with BURST again. |

Quoted: and lightweights. nothing more useless than a 16in M4 barrel. Define useless please. |

Get rid of all except you favorite.
Buy a complete DD, BCM, Noveske, LMT, config of choice. Build an SPR Build a RECCE |

Here's my advice: Do whatever the hell makes you happy. I've got a couple of rifles that are very similar except for the color, because I couldn't decide between the two colors.
Not everyone here is expecting or hoping for SHTF. I've got one designated for that, but 99.9% of my interet in AR's is about rewarding myself for hard work and for scratching my itch. Enjoy! |

Its always good to have the same set up as your primary rifle..2 is one and one is none as ive been told around here

Nice guns, I would think you would get tired of the 14.5" stuff... I would want to switch it up with some 10.5" or 11.5" then maybe a 18 and then 20... but thats just me, but Nice sticks anyways

No suppressors...etc... nothing fun. Dont think im just sticking to 16inch guns anyhow....again I plan on only ADDING to these, no sense in me selling some simply because they are duplicates or similar...as I will be adding some 20inchers, a middy or SPR type too in time. I hate selling guns, I have no problems in buying more of them though |
