| My next buy will be a bare bones factory M-4 styled rifle. I'd really prefer the 14.5" barrel with a pinned FH. I was really hoping that spikes made one but after looking at their sight I couldn't find one. I plan on upgrading the gun with a surefire rail, an Aimpoint(haven't decided which one), and good light, and a troy buis, I just need the base rifle to start with. What do you all reccomend? |

I am happy with the 14.5" carbines I own but if I had to do it over again it would be with 16" barrels for muzzle device versatility. I had no prior experience with the pinned FH (which is a Vortex in this case) but lucked out in that I liked it's performance.
If you're set on a 14.5" though and don't care about the M-4 barrel contour (ETA: the lack of an M203 notch) I recommend Noveske. |
| Well, I'm basing it off of the M-4 Clone look. But it will not be the exact rail/sight/FH. This gun, above the rest of mine, will be my go to rifle. Quality is going to be a big deciding factor, but with that being said I'd also like to keep the cost down where possible. |

Awesome! I've been looking at the details on it all day. I think I'm going to get the BCM base14.5" Upper. What BCG should I look into that is G2G? Any reviews on the BCM gunfighter charging handle? Most everyone here that has or has tried a Gunfighter raves about it. You can probably find at least one thread with a search. Mod 4 seems the most popular. I know I will be putting one on my next build, and maybe my current one. |

Quoted: Had a shooting friend & Member here at AR15.com get rid of his DD M4 barrel and replaced Didnt group as well as everyone lets on! I would of been happy But I dont care If my M4 shoots 4moa with Match grade ammo 14.5" barrels can shoot with the proper optics...I think it was a couple American Riflemans ago but the Colt 14.5 they tested with like 16x optics grouped just over .5in at 100yds with match ammo |

Unless you're going to be driving tacks with it, just pick one. I just built one using a Bushmaster 14.5" barrel and pinned a Levang compensator to it. I like it a lot. I runs like a champ and is a lot of fun to shoot.
That having been said, I'm partial to BCM stuff, although I'd feel compelled to check out the Daniel Defense offering. |

I own 2 LMT 14.5 for over 5 years now I also HATE the 203 cut out period! I couldnt find a good 14.5 LW 1/7 at the time. Noveske didnt make a N4 or I would of Bought it. I also HATE Vortex type FH but that because Ive had Brush stuck on the end. But still would take a N4
