Don't see how a shortened bolt, carrier or even buffer would fix that. You would either have to remove the gas key (or piston tab/key if you decided to go piston) on the carrier or lengthen the trough it follows in the upper receiver/charging handle by lengthening the upper receiver itself...
Having shot both (well, real G3s and only M1As not M14s) , I would go with the G3. Have a Gold Schützenschnur badge to back it up as well thanks to a sister Bundeswehr unit training swap.
You can build an AR to weigh under 6lbs and be only 32" long with fully collapsed adjustable carbine stock or otherwise between 34" and 37" with a fixed stock and a 16" barrel. Just choose the parts that best fit your wants/needs.
Fantastic revolver, love mine, you'll love yours. It handles full bore loads just fine.
Now you just need a 6" GP100 as a bigger brother to go with it!
@eb1: That's the GP100 you're thinking of.
If you want to stay traditional, then I'll chime in another vote for a 7mm-08.
If you want a bit more unique, build a 6.8 SPC AR how you want it. AR and AR parts prices are disgustingly low right now.
The wife has very delicate hands. She can and does get blisters and shredded skin after a few cylinders of shooting. A fingerless 'workout' glove solved that.
I only use a pair of coyote brown Camelbak heat grip ct gloves when temperatures are either very cold or very hot.
Resale or Cold Dead Hands.
Resale: Do not touch/tinker/alter/bubba/dremel/etc..
Cold Dead Hands: I'll do whatever I damn well please with... You don't like it?! Couldn't care less! (everything I own falls in this catagory)
The Vortex Spitfire seems to be a clone of the Burris AR332 and the old Primary Arms 3x compact scope (no longer made/offered) with a different reticle than both.
I have the Primary Arms version and if it is a clone of the same quality, it's a great scope that I have been very pleased with...
