Lately, I've been thinking about possibly replacing my upper on my AR. I love it, don't get me wrong, but you know how ARs go. Anyhow, lately I was wondering about possible AR setups, and I realized that I really like a midlength gas system (in my experience, much better shooting and gentler than a CAR type), and a 16" barrel, but like a rifle-length sight radius. Now, this got me thinking "well, why not get a CMMG middy upper with a Dissipator-style location for the FSB?" Thought about it some more, and thought that it could be heavy and unweildy with that fixed FSB. So, I started to think "well, what if the 16" mid-length gas system bit could be done on an R4/Gov't Profile barrel to save some weight, and have a lightweight rifle-length quad rail (and flattop) so that I can pick my irons/BUIS, and still have them at the (IMO) better rifle-length sight radius?"
So, what does anyone else here think.....would the above amalgamation between a lightweight rifle-quad-rail-length, 16" middy gas system, "gov't" profile barrel be a good idea, or am I just looney? And does anyone make such a system?
(Intended use: most anything other than hunting, with possible hunting, maximum shooting distance being 300yds if I feel like going that far)
Thoughts?
