[QUOTE="NomadPilot, post: 370025, member: 19896"] For a range toy, you don't need all those things. A simple Bushmaster or Rock River or CMMG will do just fine for you. Free-float handguards are nice for a precision rig, but unnecessary for a CQB carbine. Flattop upper is important if you want to run optics. Like any rifle, an aftermarket trigger is a bonus, but you can get even the basic mil-spec trigger worked to be nice. Here's a post that I think is worth the read - basically an AR-15 buyer's guide. It's from a LEO point of view. [url=http://forums.officer.com/showthread.php?t=81462]So you want to buy an AR-15, huh? - Police Forums & Law Enforcement Forums @ Officer.com[/url] Yes, you can shoot 223 out of a 5.56 chamber. There's also .223 Wylde which can handle 223 or 5.56. [/QUOTE]
