Colt 6920 with an Acog.

 

[Model70Man]

Sig 556 topped off with an ACOG (for CQC) or your scope of choice for varmints with Magpull mags.

 

[mr.big]

it wouldnt make a difference to me

whole lot of truth in that,,get one setup like you want and make sure it functions..

Rock RIver Arms makes a fine AR15 and you can get them in a variety of configurations.

Hard to beat this one.

Spike Tactical builds nice ones. I have seen them at Tampa Gun Shows.


I like DPMS personally. Good price, good weapon.

If money is no problem it's hard to beat the Kinght's Weapon System's. They are higher priced than most but here you truly get what you pay for and more. They've been selling to the military for SpecOps and SEALS for years but now they are selling to the citizens.

Is it true that only 2 manufacturer's machine receivers for AR's?

 

[rdl65]

If money was no problem then I would buy the real deal. An M-16, now that would be nice.

Nope, two others that I know of machining lowers from billet are Patriot Arms (new name now) and Seekins Precision. I know there are others but those are off the top of my head.

That would not be a good idea. Federal law does not allow private citizens to have any machine gun made after May 19, 1986. So any M-16 we would buy would be used and being a machine gun it would get some heavy use with a lot of shooting.

Of course we could buy new barrels and other stuff as needed but some of todays AR-15's are much, much better than the military M-16.

It depends on what your primary application will be.
I have a DPMS M-4 configuration with an Eotec sight. vert. forarm grip. single point sling. But I don't do insertions anymore. Nor do I plan to. but it is a comfort to have around.
Also I have a DPMS Panther Bull 24" .223 with a Leupold Mark 4 6.5-20x50 good "varmit" gun.
I also have a stanard Colt AR-15 A2 HBAR.
No problems out of any.
Remember this is a battle rifle platform. the bells and whisles are nice. But spend on what you plan to ues it for.

I would definately rather spend on ammo than some of the "stuff" people buy.

Agreed. I've never understood why some folks weigh down a CQB rifle to where it feels like a benchrest rifle. I'd rather tote bullets. ONE good optic, BUIS and a very small, very bright light!

Good advice.
