I searched 3 times and didn't see a thread for 20 incher's...so what are you waiting for? I need some inspiration while I wait for my new PSA 20" FDE upper to be delivered! (Bonus points for FDE 20 incher's!)

Awesome! If this lasts for over 4 hours, I'll have to see a doctor, right?

I was really on the fence, damn near bought a 16" mid length but I already have a 16" M4 profile so I wanted something different.

There is 85+ pages of 20" goodness in the M16A4 picture thread.

I got the regular chrome lined CMV barrel...I couldn't see spending the extra for the FN barrel since I will never shoot it enough to justify double chrome lining and all...

The complete upper was $499. I did get the MOE and PSA charging handle with tac latch.

Please, understand that I am doing all I can do. I'm praying to God for strength and guidance. But no matter what I do I just cant grasp the concept of an AR15 with wood furniture on it.

I will say that the wood is certainly quite nice looking, the grain is nicely raised and the contrast is very eye catching.... but ... I ... just.... cant fully give you a high five.

My lame ass contribution:

Colt MT lower with Geissele DM trigger and an A1 butt stock; upper is a Bushmaster from a tax-time sale they ran about 5 years ago.
To be honest though, I've only got maybe 500 rounds through it, and I'm at a loss as to what to do with it; I really prefer my light-weight 14.5" carbine. The 20" is just too unhandy to be much fun or very practical for me, and better sights (optical) will just make it even heavier.

This is a couple years old and I need to update the pic.

The rifle now sports a correct A1 grip and the CHICOM knock-off scope is gone.

Good - I'm glad I built it for me, and not for you. You can keep your high five.

Loving that build, details please.

It started with a stripped LRB lower my wife gave me on our anniversary. I added an UBR stock, MIAD grip and an ordinary LPK.

Trigger is a Geisselle SSA-E. Great for a precision AR

Upper receiver is a VLTOR MUR. It's forged, stiffer than the standard forged upper and only weighs an ounce or so more. The stiffness should help with consistency of the rifle.

The handguard is a carbon fiber PRI Delta. Carbon fiber keeps the weight down and stays cool even when a lot of shots are fired. I didn't need rails so they were removed.

I added a QD cup for a sling

The carrier is from FailZero and the bolt came with and was matched to the 20" stainless Hbar profile Lothar Walther barrel with 223 Wylde chamber and 1:8 twist. Scope is a Leupold MkIV 10x robbed from another rifle. This rifle is very consistent and accurate. Here is a 30 shot group shot with Federal 55 gr bulk ammo.

Here is another 30 shot group at 300 yards with the same ammo. It's about 7 inches across.

The groups are much tighter with match ammo. The bullets touch at 100 yards. I haven't taken any photos of the groups shot with match ammo

It used to have a 1.0 Battlecomp, but it was removed to be installed on a carbine build. Now it has an A2 birdcage.

It's so accurate that I know if I miss, it's me. Can't wait to take it to a prairiedog town
