I'm a megalomaniac. lol. I guess I'm just thinking of worst case scenarios. I'm not really looking for a cool-factor, that's kind of the reason I'm a bit turned off by the "Elite Dark," the name alone implies they are selling a cool factor. The Combat TB is a bit better, it says it has a hard...

I've been looking into the SIG P226 and P229 Combat TB and Elite Dark editions which both come with threaded barrels. SIG's website specifically says that only two of their editions have corrosion resistant coatings on the internals, and those are the Combat and Navy editions. So that's a strike...

The word plastic is like the word metal. A gun made of metal could be made of pewter -- but none are; they are made of steel, for example. A gun made of plastic could be made of the same plastic used in your grandma's butter tub -- but none are; they are made of a high-impact plastic that is far...

230therapy, there were a LOT of people who saved up for as long as two years to buy the ACR at rumored prices as low as $1500 that included more features and 2 lbs less weight than it does now. Considering that, it is easy to see how some people are passionately disappointed. Anyway, what...

These pics were taken by SMGLee at m4carbine.net. Sorry if they have been posted here before, but that was the first time I'd seen them so I thought I'd share them here. I don't know about you guys but I'm pretty excited about the 16S in black -- looks amazing. I read somewhere that they should...

For fast target acquisition, I haven't read of anything better than an EOTech. You could always throw a Flip-To-Side magnifier in front of it for the longer ranges.

If you order an upper and lower together, you have to pay a 10% transfer tax, don't you?

Thanks so much for all the help guys! C-grunt, that's a good point about the mil-spec parts and each piston company using their own proprietary parts. Zerodefect, all three of those, Scar, FS2000 and Sig 556, were on my list at one point or another. I especially like the Sig because it has...

Guns and more, thanks, I read every word of that guide. It was very helpful. MrCleanOK, firstly thanks for your responses. By "run it wet" are you talking about lubrication or...? Regardless, if that is something that is obviated by a piston operated system, that is yet another reason to go...

Here is the Remington Military ACR: http://www.remingtonmilitary.com/ACR/acr.htm#/intro (Chrome-lined, 1x7 twist) Here is the Bushmaster civilian ACR: http://www.bushmaster.com/acr/#/intro ("Innovative barrel coating", 1x9 twist) edit: Actually, I'm not sure at this point if the Remington...

I'm looking for the website. I'll post when I find it.

The only thing that really bothers me is that there are basically two ACRs. One is by Bushmaster and the other is by Remington. The Remington ACR actually has a 1x7 barrel twist I believe and is chrome-lined, while the Bushmaster is not. This is probably indicative of other differences between...

Let's say I was planning on shooting 2 - 3 thousand rounds per year, most of which would be cheap practice ammo, perhaps Wolf. Do you think a DI rifle would run into many problems? I have actually read that the XCR and the SR 556 don't reliably feed Wolf.

mickey, I think he means the Equipment Exchange at www.ar15.com http://www.ar15.com/forums/board.html?b=7

Sprice, thanks! I just looked into CMMG. A piston AR for under $1000, that's definitely an option of interest. TexasRifleman, I feel what you're saying, start out with something that's very widely used and go from there. HKGuns, that is also another great option. I could really use the...

Hatterasguy, the Ruger SR 556 was of definite interest to me. But, however, being that I am leaning towards an 18" barrel, I sort of wrote it off because it only comes in 16" I believe. It is still on my long list though. Thanks!

I'm facing several big decisions. 1) Piston or D.I. I understand the pros of D.I. to be that it is slightly simpler and slightly lighter. It is also on average cheaper and has many more manufacturers to choose from. On the other hand, I understand the pros of a modern Piston to be that it...
