AR-15 Upper suggestions

[cinergi]

AR for Home defense... what about the innocent neighbors? Those fire for a good distance you know.

 

Rule #1 ALWAYS hit only what you INTEND to KILL or WANT DEAD

Rule #2 NEVER FUCK UP RULE NUMBER ONE, EVER!!

Rule #3 Practice until you can achieve these rules under any circumstance!!

 

Yes, there are better options for home defense but this could turn into a philosophical argument that might never end. :bangbang:

This is America. Any gun can be and will be used for home defense. Get over it

I would say that the Stag 2H upper would be fine.

 

If I was building a dedicated "range-toy, SHTF, HD" AR upper, I would look for the following things:

 

-Lightest Barrel, Either Gov't, True M4 (No HB), or Lightweight

 

Lighter to carry, faster to move through house and bring on target

 

-14.5in with Perm Flash suppressor (my choice is Phantom, but others are good too)

 

Shortest non-NFA to move through tight corners, quick to snap shoot

 

-Properly Staked M16 Bolt Carrier

 

Reliability increase, due to weight increase

 

-Chrome Lined Barrel and Bolt Carrier

 

Easier to keep clean, longer service life

 

-1-7 Barrel

 

I would use something along the lines of the heavier Hornady TAP rounds, and you want the faster twist for these.

 

-M4 Cuts

 

Reliability increase

 

I can't get the link here at work, but CMMG has this exact upper in the M4 profile for $635 plus shipping. Just my .02

 

I am a big fan of OD and Foliage Green furniture, I really like the Magpul MBUS and new handguard, along with a CTR and grip make a sharp looking gun.

 

Good luck with your search!
