I am considering getting an AR. You can get a decent one now for the same price as a nicer AK.
What are the advantages of a flat top vs. carry handle? I do want to stick to an M4 configuration, and no need for a heavy barrel, unless they are 'much more' accurate. Considering Smith. But, the choices are myriad. Want to stick at $800 or less, so there are about 2 choices - carry handle models seem to be about $100 more, but I like the flat top with flip sights. (Carry handles look OK, but as I learned in Ranger School, you NEVER use them).
