I currently have a a 20" heavy AR, large scope, bipod, all that good stuff for that long range shooting. However I am going to get a 16" upper with its own dedicated BCG, well just because. I don't really care about brands or different calibers (sticking with 5.56) and I don't care about M4 feedramp cuts or military specs or history, since I will be buying civilian versions. I am just curious abou the different designs. Does anyone know the difference between the following?
1: C.A.R
2: XM177
3: EM-4
Is it that the XM-177 just have the long 5 1/2" flash suppressor integraged into the barrel? Are the CAR's just straight barrels? Are EM-4's the only ones with 203 cuts in the barrel? Are the only differences basicly barrel shape?
I know there is a chronocologial military history about how these variants grew and improved from each other. But now a days they are basicly civilian version and the only difference I can see is the barrel design and the longer permanent flash suppressor on the XM-177.
Sorry for being so blunt, but AR questions can get pretty indepth and debatable, I just wanted to see if the THR community knows the basic differences between the civilian copies.
Thanks!
