Well I don't know what I want if we are being honest. I mean, aside from citizenship and visa crap to get worked out faster than it is so far.
oh and a pvs14 to appear under my pillow!
I have ran DD's, Knights, and some various garbage over the years, sold lots, farted around with set ups for customers in a previous life but at the end of the day my opinions on what I want mostly come from more experienced people.
14.5 because I want something still short enough with a can on to work with indoors, taking classes etc. but long enough to keep up some velocity and be able to varmint with a little at shorter range for fun. As a first AR, it will be used for learning/defense/fun so it will get used a lot. Down the road I will branh out into a pistol and a longer one.
Mlok, because this is the way. Lighter than heavier. Ambi charging handle, I like raptors but I know others make em. A brake that will interface with a decent can for the rifle. Good trigger because I am a little princess about triggers. Rifle will probably start out with just a set of Scalarworks PEAK sights because I like them, and a light. Then grow red dots and frickin laser beams as I grow up. Really need to find guys to go shoot with and try out some different stuff to iron out the wrinkles. Because at the end of the day, I am just another troglodite. Oh well....
