16.  2A Arms light weight barrel.

Looks nice man.

Thanks.

Shoots nice too.  Hit the 500 yard target at Cola Warrior West first shot.

The one in the middle

The perfect configuration is the one that you will shoot and use the most.

The one you survived with...

I’m not a fan of the AR so much, but this is one I really respect:



Not mine. A request had gone out for an AFG and I happened to have one I wasn’t using. So the guy sent me the pic and a challenge coin as a thank you. In my mind, it was the smallest way I could thank him for what he was doing, but he ended up thanking me. Humbling.

Never heard anything else from him, hopefully he made it back to his family safe and sound.

There isn't one perfect AR. Out in your garage is there one perfect tool for doing everything?

To me, after 3 plus decades around this platform, now goes to a Mk18mod1 (DD Barrel and rail, Colt all else), a 6933 with Geisselle rail, (both pistols with Aero lowers and SBA3) and a LaRue 6.5 Grendel.  That's what I like so see, hard to nail down just one.

I get a stiffy every time I see this setup and want to assemble an upper like yours to use on my CQB.

If I could have 2, I would get a 12" carbine gas and a 18" rifle gas in grendel.

I really like that. I believe the perfect AR is kept as simple and light as possible with nothing added that isn't necessary. Your example is about as close to that standard as it gets.

BTW, what kind of front sling attachment is that? That looks so simple and inexpensive, yet so functional.

The perfect setup is the one that works best for the user and his needs.

Within my policies and needs, this one has worked well

lol perfect huh? Good lucking going indoors.

I'm not a .300 fanboi, but this build makes my stinky parts tingle.

The most common one usually, with the exception that I think traditional lower 1/3 is a bit too low for reflex sights

Optic, backup irons, ir laser on top, light on either side

looks like a kickass and well loved setup.

Rifle flat top, 20" a1 contour barrel, folding FSB, Free floated 12" fore end carbine buffer single stage 4 or 5 pound trigger. two point sling

carbine flat top 12.5" a1 contour barrel, folding fsb, 12" free float fore end, pistol rear end, 4-5 pound trigger single point sling

LPVO or MRD depending on use. or both. 125-300 lumen light, 10-30 lumen nav light laser combo, bi pod if needed.

The one that goes bang and you can hit a target with.

The perfect AR configuration most definitely without a doubt is!

Personal preference

That's not my indoor rifle.

?? ???????

...entirely dependent on the user and use case(s).

Mine gets carried a lot and needs to be useful from 0-400m with the ability to identify targets. I opted for a 16" 5.56 pencil barrel, MBT, M600V, and TR24. Does CQB and medium-range well, and is fairly light and quite nicely balanced. I carried it on a couple-mile hike 8000' up in the mountains yesterday, it felt light as an LPVO-equipped feather.

One of my buddies needs a truly long-range do-all rifle with less emphasis on CQB. The family ranch has a lot of 1000yd shots, and has had problems with predators killing cattle. His perfect rifle has a 1-8x or 1-10x.

Someone who needs an HD rifle and/or one to be used in CQB courses has different needs, too. That's the beauty of a modular rifle.

Because the caliber is rather weak sauce, the best configuration is light and short and handy in keeping with its ballistic limitations.  In that role, there isn't anything better.

Truth. I’m not a big fan of the 33 personally, but it’s what I’d select for a forcewide optic. It’s lightweight, small, simple to use, absolutely sturdy, and very flexible allowing for ease of use on close targets on out to the effective range of the rifle.

Still CWAR.



Although this is getting two upgrades in the near future.  RMR on the ACOG, and MAWL in place of the DBAL.

If I had to choose, these two configurations fit all of my needs.

Here is my newest. Still waiting on my replica moderator and grenade ring. May become my new HD carbine. Why chose between bullets and buck shot when you can get both?

The whole point is that there is no one perfect AR for everyone . Tune it up as you wish for the job at hand.

I have a pretty good sized safe but the gun I grab just to go to the range and have some fun is a flat top with a pencil barrel 20" and a A2 stock.

Some times with just a carry handle and sometimes with a optic of some sort.

Make your own choice

what's the "perfect" golf club?

the perfect AR is the one that is handy when you need it....reliable when you need it....accurate when you need it....
and loaded with effective ammo when you need it...one you are totally familiar and comfortable with.

@AeroScout23 That top pic is hot.  Where did you find the paint?

Perfect configuration for the 6.5MM CM AR.



Doing things.

@Charging_Handle

Thanks dude. The sling attachment is one you see a lot of IDF troops using. https://zahal.org/product/zahal-wide-velcro-strap-sling-adapter/

This guy gets it. However, if I had to pick 1, it'd be a CWAR style. Lightweight, simple, 14.5 or 16in barrel, TA33 or lighter LPVO, adjustable stock.

For being task dependent, however, this is my current go-to:



Upper:
Ranier spec Faxon 5R 10.5" barrel, BCM upper and Mod 4B CH, SLR Solo Lite 9" handgaurd, Geissele SGB, FCD 1815 FH, (KAG was switched for Unity VFG), Inforce WMLx, Aero NIB BCG, Proctor WOTG sling with a FCD Sling Keep A, Brownells 360 Rear and Midwest Industries HK Front.

Lower:
PWS Mk1 Mod 2-M stamped lower, Ascend Armory TI Mag Release, V Seven 57deg Hybrid Ambi Safety, takedown pins, and grip screw. POF bolt release, Geissele SSA-E from CWTX2, Hogue 15deg grip, MVB ARC-Xti.

With 31rds of Gold Dots onboard, it's a solid weight, shoots smooth, and hits plenty hard for property defense. Well balanced, compact enough to effectively and easily move through a building, and if I need to I can throw it in a backpack and take it anywhere I'd need to without looking like anything. It's just about perfect for my applications, still need to get an RDS on it though.

So why isn't this the "perfect configuration?" Because it's a 10.5" barrel. I'm knowingly trading a fair amount of ballistics to get a whole lot of handling, but if I could only have 1 gun this wouldn't be it because of the ballistics lost. Personally I think a 12.5" 6.5G is the perfect balance of ballistics and size, but then you run into some concerns over ammo, mags, and bolts, so I wouldn't call it "perfect."

Adorable. Now try and run any sort of course with it or try and go through a building with it. Longbois are nice for reaching out at distance, but don't really do anything else well. I can shoot a 10.5" at distance a whole lot better than I can clear my house with a 18-20"+ (yes, I've compared them), not to mention the extra weight starts getting tiring quick if you're keeping it in your hands and not your sling or a backpack. With the upgraded ballistics we have in different caliber options, IMO, the 18-20" AR is largely defunct in it's usage with some very niche exceptions since I can get the same or better ballistics from a much smaller package.

Is it a great hunting setup? Sure looks like it! Would I enjoy shooting it on the range? Hell yes! Would I want to do much of anything else with it? Nope. It may be perfect for it's roll, but it's far from optimal perfection.

Suppressed 10.5-12.5” with a LPVO, the rest is just ergonomics and personal preference

What a great pic! Love the camo top, one of my favorite patterns.

You need your own game pic thread my man.

Alas, a few here in GD get mad when someone posts pictures of AR doing things.



If you can't handle an 18 inch barrel I might suggest more training.

Just Sayin.

More perfection.

Hell yeah
