For all the AR-15 fans out there...

[Kenshin]

Out of your AR-15 collections, which do you have more of:

16" barrel Carbine types


or


20" barrel Rifle types

 

[nonquixote]

I have one of each.

 

[Jeff White]

I have two carbines and four 20" rifles in various configurations.

Jeff

 

[wayne in boca]

I have a 16" carbine and a 24" heavy barrel.

 

[Kaylee]

Difficult to answer.

Over time -- 16" carbines, exclusively. Had and sold two or three over time I think.
Presently - 20" A1 rifle.

Eventually (like sometime in the next 20 years) I wanted to put together an "arms of the US" display. I figured I'd have plenty of time for the wood-stocked pieces, but figuring worst case got lowers and some miscelleneous pieces parts for the following:

20" A1 rifle (finished)
SBRd XM177E2 carbine
20" A2 rifle
SBRd or pinned M4 carbine

and one for actually using, which will likely be a 16" midlength.

Uppers and such come later.

 

[clown714]

1-20''

4-16''

I've had a 16" A2 Bushmaster Patrolman's carbine for several years; utterly reliable. Next up on the wish list: a 24" fluted Bushmaster Varminter.

 

[FPrice]

1 - pre-ban Colt Match Target w/20" barrel.
1 - Bushmaster A3 Carbine w/16" barrel.

Next purchase will be a (Bushmaster?) lower receiver in order to mix and match different uppers.

 

[BozemanMT]

2-17", 1-18", 1-16" and 1-20"
and some more unloved lowers that need something.

I like the lighter weight of the shorter barrels but the 17" and 18" have better velocity numbers and a rifle length gas system. Seems like a better match than the 16 or the 20 (and yeah, you have to go custom)
but it's worth it.

 

[DirksterG30]

As I only have one AR at the moment (a RRA mid-length), I'm gonna vote 16".

 

[Bartholomew Roberts]

All 16" midlengths.

 

[taliv]

the problem with 16" midlengths is that you can't shoot cmp/nra highpower with them

 

[Ala Dan]

This one

and its a COLT, 16 incher~!

 

[rogueplayer]

One of each.

 

[possum]

out of the two carbines that I have owned, and the one that i still own, they have been 16" barrels.

 

[10-Ring]

I have always like the 16" barrel...they just work for me

 

[browningguy]

16" in .223 and .50 Beowulf, 20" in 6x45.

 

[Grunt]

2 of each. A lightweight CAR-15, M-4gery, a 20" A2 and a 20" pre-M-16 with the green stocks, 1:14" twist barrel and all the other 601 early features other than the lower receiver and "go fast parts".

 

[LiquidTension]

16". But I only own one AR hehe.

 

[Still 2 Many Choices!?]

I voted other but...

Both my AR's have a shorter than 16" barrel. Bushmaster with 14.5" barrel and welded AK brake, and a 10.5" barreled AR pistol. I like my AR's as short-intermediate range boomers. Past 200 yards, it's time to bring out the big guns(read as: bigger cartridges) . I would like an 18" or 20" AR, but it is down the list somewhere after getting a semi-auto .308 rifle, then SBRing my Busmaster, and purchasing a suppressor for the AR's !

Still 2 Many Choices!?

 

[Rexrider]

I voted one of each.

I have one 20"

I have one 14.5 + permanant flash hider.

I will have one 16" Midlength as soon as the upper arrives at the house (please hurry, please hurry, please hurry).

 

[El Tejon]

Same number of each.

I will soon have many more stripped lowers coming so I can make whatever I choose.

 

[wilson]

i have one bushmaster a3 20''

 

[GunnySkox]

I have one kit-built 20"
