Do you prefer modern ARs or retro ARs?
H&R (PSA) XM177E2 (11.5")
>>64197504retro obviously
>>64197504>>64197516>>64197539I'm confused isn't that supposed to be M16 sorry for being a retarded newfag
>>64197516this thing is amazing
>>64197552it's an XM177E2, otherwise known as a CAR-15 clone
>>64197504Why would they make a 10" barrel with a 6" flash hider? Why not just use a 16" barrel instead? The weight difference must've been minimal it makes no sense to use a flash hider instead.
>>64197552>>64197539This is an M16 and >>64197516 is what would later become the M4When ArmaLite began selling that rifle, they sold it as the AR-15 - ArmaLite Rifle 15. Unsure why they used "AR" on their shotguns as well but I digress. The "M-" designation for military equipment isn't usually the same name that the OEM gave it. M-16 is more like "service rifle 16" and the M-4 is "carbine 4" There's obviously more to it than just that but you said you're a newfag so there it is.
>>64197558You know why it's like that you disingenuous fuck go bite a curb.
i am kinda over iron sights. i genuinely think dots give faster target acquisition to the point that it could be the difference between life or deaththere was a time i doubted red dots but not anymore.
>>64197504Yes.
>>64197571it's the opposite for me. I used to like red dots more than irons and now I think irons are faster than red dots. Something about irons lining up both the back and front of the weapon feels faster and more precise than just lining up a dot with no front sight post to align with
>>64197678If any of that were true then competitive min-maxxers would never have adopted dots in the first place. Sorry anon, dots are objectively faster. Sorry dots don't have the same SOVL that I'm sure you are telling yourself your irons do.
>>64197516fpbp, definitely the best looking 11.5 PSA AR you can get
>>64197504My brain says modern, but my heart says retro.
>>64197787Nah, you're wrong
>>64197563It's Armalite Model 15. And the military name would probably be Rifle, Caliber .223, Model 16 or Rifle, Caliber 5.56, Model 4.
>'retro'I prefer original pre-1980s Colt SP1sYes, I prefer M16s but they're not widely available to humans for purchase.
>>64197849I like their Sabre m4 clones too
Tss! You know it, bru!
>>64197504
I'd say retro, shit like the XM177E2 flash hider just looks nice
>>64197504Picatinny rails and accessories ruined firearms aesthetics, change my mind. Integrated scopes look great however.
I only own one, so retro ig
>>64199170Sup Adrian>your trip gave you away
Both
Modern ARs are cool but these two guys have the two coolest setups imo
>>64197504The only people who are into retro shit are a bunch of contrarian faggots who think liking obsolete guns/gear makes them different/special
>>64197504if I ever get an AR, it's going to be retro because I like the cleaner look, and realistically I am not going to put a bunch of shit on mine.>>64201438>The only people who are into retro shit are a bunch of contrarian faggots who think liking obsolete guns/gear makes them different/specialOr they just prefer the look. But sure, project your high-sped high drag larperator homoeroticism on us if you must.
>>64201438Tell me this doesn't look coolCheckmate
>>64201438>obsolete gunsnot even 1800s bolt actions are considered obsolete for military use
I like old stuff... but not too old
>>64201438Yeah, no.
>>64197539The hard chrome (or even early Vietnam era matte gray) BCGs for these are unobtainium. Last I saw was one for 150 from Wetworx pre Covid but there's been nothing since, not even the ludicrously marked up 300+ ones on Gunjewer.
>>64201178please tell me the name of the belt and suspenders, also what canteen pouches are those?
>>64197504Both. Buy the guns you want.
>>64201438>t. gunsoomer who will never own a house due to Credova debtCope
>>64201506Some folks are born, made to wave the flag
>>64197516Goated carbine, I love mine.
I like the look of the straight 20 rounders ngl
M16A2 Grenadier will never not put my cock on rock.
>>64199187agree. Sadly, with lights, lasers, grips and other BS, you sort of need rails
Fixed front sight is actually a pain in the ass when you start putting optics and accessories on it.Also no mid length gas because it didn't exist until like 20 years ago.
I much prefer retro. However there are a few things you an tack onto a Retro that make them a more useful gun for home defense/ranch rifle duty/shtf etc. Build an 11.5/10.5 A1 upper with a pin and weld Moderator, put a microprism on the carry handle and a white light either taped on or bayo lug mounted. Anderson lower with a plastic CAR stock and A1 grip. Good ass sling, either and Israeli or a Canteen Strap on para loops.To me that's the perfect setup to be both cool as fuck and practically useful for shooting trash in the back yard and defending the chicken coop from vicious woodland enemies. It lets you shoot effectively at night.Thing is light as fuck and handy too.
You want pencil profile, and skinny 6 holes handguards. If you want to be really cute you can rattle can fuck it with Rapco colors.
>>64202259>chin welds are cool
>>64197787I like large post iron sights like on the AK. I'm skeptical it's much slower at realistic engagement ranges.
>>64197568Why are you so upset? Not everybody spends every waking moment of their life on 4chan like you do and has infinite Internet knowledge. I'm just asking a question and you're throwing a hissy fit. Chill out lol.
