Recently i had dilema, couldnt decide between some surplus guns and it was quite paintfull. At the end i just saved the money for something less obsolote, more usefull and overal just better choice.
And since i kinda want only things that arent that popular or standard i was looking at Galil Ace, Steyr Augs even Beretta AR70 (i suspect that they will come in local shops since Italian LE and navy selling their stockpilles of diffrent weapons) etc...
But oddities ussually comes with price and not just in money (obsolete design, poor or nonexisting aftermarket and so on).
AR15 just seems like better choice despite fact its far less supported and popular here than in US. So i would like to disscus it with more experinced ppl and verify some of my assumptions
Currently im looking on two options - Stag Arms Bones (withour stock and handguard) 16 inch, .223 wylde or Taurus T4 wich have 14,5 inch barell, its designated as 5,56 NATO and it seems that unlike Stag, it comes with two mags. Price is almost same
Can i really easily change calibres just via diffrent upper? There are litterally 3 in all shops in my country, but still it would be nice option. I know i may need diffrent buffer spring but thats it? I will just slap that pieve on lower and im good to go? Short midwest industries 9mm is avalaible here and looks neat, CMMG Bravo adapter would be nice for training
Is there some catch in changing handguard or can i just slap this one on, loctite in and im good to go?
5.56 NATO vs .223 Wylde are basicly same with hair more accurate .223 in Wylde chamber, correct (ish)?
16 inch barrel means more velocity which is, against 14.5 inch barell, better long range performance, better fragmentation/tumbling at impact and less interferance from wind and other light factors, but doesnt affect accuracy, right?
And finally - Taurus or Stag? I know Stag have better reputation and Taurus had (have?) problems with quallity controll. but it seems that now he offers a little bit more economical package and i quite cant decide if i want 16 or 14,5
Gun itslef will be probaly most of the time just in safe (meaning no active duty or so) but i would like to have rifle on what i can count on and use it even it some long-term critical situations like that ones with the fan. Frome time to time i would like to use it on 100 - 300 meters range
Currently prices in Europe are going to sky rocket, so its look this setup would cost me much more after New Year
