You can also compete in NRA High Power Competitions, at least with iron sighted models. Kac M5 RasThe Knights Armament M5 RAS Handguard was developed for use on the US militarys M16A4, and with hundreds of thousands of rails issued to date. That extra 4 inches over a carbine will be well appreciated, so will that solid stock for butt stroking zombies. You say that until you try to stab a zombie in the brain.
USMC QUAD RAIL HANDGUARDS PLUS
Now, this sounds foolish to count this as a plus in 2019. When it comes to using iron sights the longer barrel and fixed front sight provides a longer sight radius which makes it easier to shoot accurately.įinally, a longer barrel gives you more room when you attach a bayonet. It makes it easy to stabilize and hold onto. It allows you to rest the gun high in the pocket of your shoulder and get behind it with confidence. However, as a real rifle stock, it does provide an excellent cheek rest that allows for a solid cheek weld. The full-length rifle stock is a manner of contention with many.Īs a big guy, I always found the length of pull to be comfortable, but many smaller specimens did not share my appreciation for it. Full-sized rifles are absolute kittens when it comes to shooting. In fact, you’ll find yourself feeling hardly any recoil or muzzle rise. You’ll also receive less overall recoil and muzzle rise. Barrels come in a lot of lengths, like these Faxon barrels That little extra velocity can make a big difference in barrier penetration. M193 from a 20-inch barrel will often zip through most AR500 plates. You’ll get a faster, harder-hitting bullet. 223 and it’s military variant the 5.56 was built around the 20-inch barrel and reaches its peak potential in a 20-inch barrel. The M16A4 and it’s 20-inch barrel give you the most ballistic advantage possible from your. There are a few reasons, but performance is going to be where I rest my argument. This leads us to my main point… Why Should You Build an M16A4 Clone It’d been years since I fired a 20-inch barrel AR 15, and I forgot a few things about how great it is.
USMC QUAD RAIL HANDGUARDS FULL
This decision occurred at SHOT while shooting one of Aero Precision’s post sample full auto M16A4s. The M16A4 and I served together for a long period of time and I decided I needed one once more. The M16A4 still serves in many non-combat positions and will likely be around for quite some time. In 2015 the USMC decided that the combat arms MOSes would finally be issued the M4 as the standard infantry rifle alongside the M27 IAR. This was past my time, but I doubt this was a common modification. I like to call these the reverse stretch M16A4s. Over time the Marine Corps did approve the use of the 6-position collapsing stock on M16s for smaller shooters to use while wearing armor.
