I have a Colt AR15 H-BAR (paid for by me, GK) with the 1 in 7 barrel twist - 20 inch. Been thinking that either a 16in or an 18in barrel with the 1 in 9 twist would be better. I know that MROSTOV likes the 16 in barrel and can see certain advantages but I'm thinking more about the 18in.
Okay, I know that I could just re-barrel my upper. Could probably do it myself but not that confident. Would also have expense of tools and torque wrench. Maybe better for me is just to buy an entire upper. If the AW ban sunsets I know somebody who can thread the barrel for a flash hider.
Another question is standard carry handle or flat top. Have never shot a flat top but can see some advantages. Using the carry handle type with a scope doesn't mess up my accuracy though.
As you can see, I need help. Your counsel will be appreciated - especially comments on everything I haven't considered. Suggestions on who makes the best upper?
Thanks
