warlock 3 Report post Posted July 16, 2004 You could go with an AK, and get it for half the price, but not as badass looking as an AR. B{ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
emclean 23 Report post Posted July 16, 2004 or for around $550 you can put together a "pure" AR. that is one for those who dont need so much hitting at 50 yards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Commissargribb 0 Report post Posted July 19, 2004 well i already spent 700 on the bushy- just getting mods so i can make it into an M4 if i so choose. hey- this upper i got has a flat top- can i just get an M16A3 carry handle to put on it or will the stock A3 handles not fit on a regular piccatiny rail?

warlock 3 Report post Posted July 19, 2004 Bah to the carry handle....unless you want it completely stock with iron sights. If your going to scope it out...the carry handle will not hold its zero well at all compared to A3 Flatop. Also because the rail will lift the optics up significantly, you may need to add a cheek rest to bring it to the proper eye level. Flat top is better IMO.

m_zwerlein 1 Report post Posted July 19, 2004 yeah what he said the only downside to the cheekrest that i have seen so far is it throws off the iron sights in the fact you have to move your head lower and your cheekweld is diffrent and you may not be able to see the iron sights at all......flattop is better........

SBHShooter 12 Report post Posted July 19, 2004 I personally hate the carry handle, I can never keep my eyes lined up with the sights, and lets not mention adding a scope on top of that crap. I like my sight line nice and low, so I have a place to really press my cheek. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Commissargribb 0 Report post Posted July 20, 2004 Bah to the carry handle....unless you want it completely stock with iron sights. 78418[/snapback] that's the idea- then i can drop off the handle and add a scope if i want to go that route- though i probably would rather just scope out my long rifle upper instead and switch back and forth Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thed 0 Report post Posted July 20, 2004 Centerfire Systems has a detachable carry handle for $40 with sights. I understand the advantages for ranged shooting with optics or a scope. But the flexibility of classic irons cannot be ignored. From 30 feet to 300 meters, iron sights give an aiming system that can be used for most any reasonable range quickly. But then again, I have always had the philosophy that the purpose of a pistol is to buy me time to get to a rifle B{ When I wear my foil cap, and analyze fantasy SHTF scenarios of flesh eating Fienstienian Zombie Hordes, scoped rifles would not be ideal for defending my home, or surrounding area in the suburbs. -Thed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
