[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Which upper?

Posted: 9/29/2013 5:37:15 PM EDT

Can't decide which upper to use on my "go to" carbine:

1: BCM 14.5" standard profile middy with pinned Vortex. Not free floated with a fixed FSB wearing a MI drop in rail.

2: PSA 16" pencil barrel middy with A2 hider. Free floated MI modular rail and MBUS.

The PSA feels like I can move it a little quicker because of the lighter front end but the BCM doesnt feel bad really.

Edit: Both are 1/7 twist.

sounds like you answered your own question already.

Depends on your shooting style. Do you take advantage of the longer free-float rail? FWIW, I'm a fan of having a shorter rifle for a "go-to" gun especially if it might be used indoors.

Both. Two is one, one is none.

My property is wooded so anything over 50yds is unlikely so the FF wouldn't be much of a help.

Both will be fully functional but I'm trying to decide on which one gets pulled from the safe when someone is home.

I'd go with whichever one felt the best, which seems to be the 16" PSA.

Flip a coin, both are capable.
