I'm deciding an AR purchase. It is going to have to be an all-around good rifle. I'd like to be able to do some target shooting, as well as plinking and general home defense.
That said, I'm prepared to pay for a high quality rifle, if I can find one that suits all my needs...
Bushmaster appears to have a good reputation, as does Colt. Anybody have any experience with the Carbon-15 from Profession Ordinance? I do rather like the idea of a 3.9lb rifle. I'm lazy that way.
The big question is: Do I bother to spend
the money for a pre-ban? The 5 qualifications seem to be: threaded barrel, pistol grip, bayonet lug, folding stock, grenade launcher.
I have no interest in a grenade launcher or bayonet lug. (Unless the Bayonet lug is what is used to mount the rail systems (flashlight, laser, etc.)) I AM interested in possibly a muzzle brake, and with a threaded muzzle, I could yank it to quiet things down, or swap it out for a flash supressor, should the need arise. I'd like the ability to be able to put a telescoping, or at least modular stock on it. I don't know how well the "pistol grip" limitation fits current models from the 3 manufacturers I mentioned.
Pre or Post? And what model would you think fits this best?
