Hi, sorry if this has been posted a thousand times. For the most part all the arguements between the two have been about what brand offers a lack of this or that. Before you give advice, I have done a lot of research, I went from not knowing much, to knowing a bunch (I'd be the last to say I know it all hahaha, always room for more knowledge), learned about twists, barrel types, car vs mid, flash hiders, chrome bolts, feed ramps, yada yada the list goes on, so when I tell you what I'm looking for, there are reasons behind it.
Well here is exactly what I'm looking for:
AR15 CAR (not mid, personal preference)
16" Chrome Lined Barrel 1:7 twist (maybe even 8, but 7 prefered)
2 Stage Trigger
Those are the must haves, but I would also like:
*Vortex Flash Hider
*Chrome Bolt Carrier Group
*BCM Gunfighter Charging Handle
*I love the RRA Quad Rail but YHM offers some nice onces, and the model 3 Stag's rails aren't bad either. Reguardless something along those lines are a must. I love the rails on my M4 beside my cot right now, but I hate the cuts/vents (whatever you want to call them) because they are circular and a pain to clean, where as I believe the styles on the RRA, YHM Spectre or on the Stag Model 3 would be more prefered.
*Must have Fixed FSP (wether its mounted on a rail or is the A2 style)
*Prefer standard safety selector (not star)
So the dilemma being
RRA offers all these as customizable upgrades but doesn't offer the 1:7 twist, thus if I went this route Id had to replace the barrel (and flash hider if I wanted to put it on the aftermarket barrel.. which aftermarket barrels chrome lined seems hard to find)
Stag offers the 1:7 and the Chrome Lined, but not the chrome bolt and has standard Flash Hider (which I might just decide not to get if it becomes to much $, and the BCM charging handle isn't needed)
Side note, I do plan to hunt with it (which is legal in the state of NH which I live) thus wanting the 1:7 twist for heavier rounds.
Also, I'd want a rifle scope, would the FSP get in the way? I'm used to my CCO on my M4 which it isn't a big deal because all it does is add a red dot on top of the iron sights. Lastly, EOTECH is Halographic, never used it, is FSP an issue with these? How well do these work compared to Red Dot, looks like a bigger crosshair which I'm not huge on but again, never tried
