I bought a Bushmaster AR-15 16" "Patrolman's Rifle." (16" HBAR, Carbine-Length Gas System, Removable Carry Handle) I really liked it at first until I read more and more about AR-15's and now I wished I did some stuff differently.
First of all, I wanted to use this rifle to get good with iron sights because the sights on my AK are garbage. I knew the 16" sight-radius was kind of short but I didn't want a full on 20" barrel.
I probably should have gotten either the Dissapator upper (full length guards, sight block at end of 16" barrel) or at least a mid-length gas system.
Buyer's remorse sucks. Does anyone seriously use the irons on a carbine-length gas system or does everyone just replace them with optics?
You guys think maybe should I should just get rid of this upper and pick up a Dissipator or 16" Mid-Length if I'm interested mainly in shooting with the irons?
Can I convert this to a mid-length system without buying a whole new upper?
Can I convert this to a dissipator style rifle without buying a whole new upper?
