[ARCHIVED THREAD] - How Many Possible Configurations?

Posted: 10/15/2007 7:57:27 AM EDT

Isn't it strange that no matter how many pics you see of the AR15, none of the variants seem to be identical...unless of course, they're stock right from the factory. I wonder just how many configurations one could come up with?

Probably need some mathematician to figure this one out!

There are a lot of variables.
Stock
Grip
Barrel profile
Barrel length
FSB
Flash hider
Handguards
Upper
BUIS (If A4 Upper)
Optic
Optic Mount

That is just the external variables!
Doesn't even take into consideration trigger, barrel twist, buffer, piston/DI, etc.

And then, add a little custom color or paint scheme and it becomes obvious that possible combinations are infinitely impossible to count!
