| Over the weekend I ordered a complete M4 lower from Ameetec Arms ($212.00 shipped!). Their choices for uppers are 16" chrome-moly for $400.00 or 16"chrome lined for 550.00 ($575.00 with M4 feedramps), all seem to be great deals. My plan for this rifle is to use it for shooting Practicle Rifle matches at a local shooting range. Should I save the extra $150.00 and put it towards an optic of some sort or will I gain an advantage with the chrome lined barrel? |

Tell us more about these "practical rifle" matches. Typical range to targets? Types of targets? Most real "3 gun" competitors will be running a cut down 20" barrel for the best combination of the smoother gas system and longer handguard or sight radius if you are shooting with iron sights. If it's more of a CQB type match, then a 16" carbine will serve you just fine, although it will jump around more due to the shorter gas system. |
