[QUOTE="chuckmaster, post: 485825, member: 23792"] To me, it all depends upon what you plan on using your AR15 or AR10 for. They were developed and designed for quick shouldering and pointing, that is why they usually come with a 16" to 20" barrel. They were made for tactical situations, geting in and around tught quarters. If you are looking for a hunting rifle then you go with the longer barrel. Not to say that an 16" to 20 " barrel can't reach out that far, but you will not have the consistant shot after shot consistancy that you would with a longer barrel. Mine is a dual purpose gun, to be used for what it was originally designed for and to varmit hunt with. It is a 16" DPMS Lo-Pro Classic that shoots great. Good luck with whatever you decide to go with. Jim [/QUOTE]
