you too? I'm waiting on my can to clear the batf, which will hopefully be before wwIII starts. You are on the coast, correct? Do you deal with dad's super pawn?
that is a crazy setup. They designed that round specifically to be shot out of a really short barrel with a pistol length gas system and used with a suprressor. Closest thing to a "movie" silenced gun i have seen or heard.
Daniel Defense M4. Currently waiting on my suppressor to clear BATF as well, unfortunately the wait just started for me though.
DD 300 blackout lower. I'm building it and in way over my head. I'll have it done by the time it's ready to be handed down to my unborn grandchildren or their unborn parents. Talked to several reps who work for company's that make ar's and I got a awesome deal through Daniels. 9/10 your lower is going to be the same as the other cause they're all cookie cutters.
I wasn't on that boat. If we are talking about the same thing, my brother was on the boat. They really needed my spotlight that night.
Both.
I enjoy the AR15 more. It is suppressed. Fun for small varmints like coyotes and beavers. I only use the AK for shooting pigs. The AR15 sucks for pigs.

Yeah I just had a brain fart. I just haven't decided on the lower, scope, stock, trigger, all that good stuff. Just going to take a while
Flattops were designed for optics and most people are faster and more accurate with them. My mini14 is scoped also.
AR is fine for plinking, though ammo is still expensive. AK fine for hogs, but the specs on it are too lose for accurate shooting past 100 yards. I got a Rock River LAR 47 in .762-39 and it rocks. I wouldn't feed it that Wolf, Tula, etc or other cheap Russian ammo, because the specs are tight, and it can jam.
The really sick cartridge is the 6.8 SPC. You can get it in the Remington ACR, Daniel Defense, etc., but the ammo is expensive and hard to find (like every other round, I guess). The ballistics on that round are insane--more energy at 600 yards than the 308 Win, can adapt to many NATO .556 weapons, including magazine in some instances, and uses the Rem 300 cartridge necked down to a 270 Win bullet.
Flat, with excellent maintained terminal energy. For some reason even the armorers can't fully explain, barrel length does not seem to significantly affect muzzle velocity. The Army will likely replace the .556 with this, so soldiers won't dump their weapons for the much heavier .308. True long and close range capabilities.
Remington was supposed to mass produced several hundred million cartridges this year to flood the market and get the price down so people would switch. Like ever other cartridge though, it remains expensive and scarce.
I'm sure the IRS and Postal Service have tons of it.

Well
I'm asking what do you need optics (flat top) for? What are you going to be using it for? That's my point. I'm trying to tell you what to get, but I need to know what you would use it for. I mean are you military and going to be engaging in CQB or are you using it for hunting? The use makes a big difference.
