Bushmaster- Shorty or full size?

[glockorama]

I am going to buy a bushmaster AR-15 in a week or two and I am debating on the full size or the shorty. I like the compactness of the shorty, but I think they look really wierd with the full size buttstock. I know that it is illegal to put on the "normal" collapsable butstock, so I think I am leaning towards the full size model. Any thoughts?

Oops, I guess this should have gone in the rifle section. Thought I was on GT. Sorry.

glock, you have to decide whay your shooting application will be before you decide what configuration to acquire.

Do you plan to shoot this rifle at 2-500 yards? Competition? Or would you be more likely so shoot in the 25-200 yard distances? Answer these questions and you will then have an answer to your thread.

I started with the "full size" (20" HBAR). It was like lugging around a Howitzer. Since those early days for me I have 4 AR15's, 3 in 16" and one custom Kreiger in 18.5". Since I shoot at the 25-200 yard distances these lengths are perfect. I still get good velocity and accuracy (the 2 are very different) and I now have a rifle in an acceptable weight and length.

Good luck choosing.
