If you spend much time in the "handguns" section of this wonderful site, you already know that I'm an indecisive sort. So here's me latest quandry...
I've got a bushmaster pre-ban with an 11.5" barrel and 5.5" flash supressor. I want to swap it over to an all bushmaster M4. I want to do the flat top, forward mounted red-dot, flip up rear site, maybe even a SWAN sleeve, but I'm undecided on the barrel..
I don't want to add ANY more weight over the current set-up. Some bushmaster 16" rifles I've held were WAY heavier. I have no intention of mounting a 203 on it, so I don't need the stepped down barrel.
My 14" choices are:
GI profile
Heavy barrel
Fluted heavy barrel
I'm afraid that accuracy may suffer if I get the GI profile. I also worry that the heavy barrel will be too much of just that... heavy.
I'm not really fond of the fluted look, but some rumors suggest that the fluted barrel is great for tight groups...
All thoughts or experiences would be appreciated! (except for the ones pointing out that I'm obsessive compulsive, or indecisive, or any of that, because I already know that, and don't need anyone's help being paranoid about it.. and if you're watching me through the window while I'm typing this, STOP IT!!! )
