I want to resist the temptation to add tons of accessories to it. I think I'd rather just get the most reliable platform I can and keep it simple.

Magpul MOE furniture is perfect for this while allowing for accessories to be added at the same time.

Although I know its capable of it to a certain extent, my opinion has always been that the AR platform was never intended to be a long range weapon. I'd like to have one that's short, simple and ultra reliable. If/when I get one, I want get proficient with it in its most basic form without relying on optics or accessories. Its just something I've always wanted to do, plus in any kind of survival or SHTF situation that lasts any length of time, those accessories add weight and additional points of possible failure.

Supr.....
You just need to give in and do what I did.
Get two AR's. Trick one out. Leave one plain vanilla.
I did that with the Mini 14 and AK platforms too.
Now I'm satisfied that I have played the game and won.

Evening, trying to decided if I'm gonna have a drink or 10

 

[OneBadV8]

16" is short enough to be very flexible and still very accurate. Even still, a 10.5" or 11.5" (with tax stamp) will be accurate enough out to 200+ yards.

Or just buy two uppers, one short one and one longer one

I have 2 problems with that plan.

First one is simple...

The second one is the fact that I'd probably play with the one that has all the toys on it a lot more and I'd defeat my purpose of honing my skills with the basic weapon. Either that or I'd have to force myself to have some dang discipline...screw that.

You could borrow mine Supr! It has an Eotec but it is co-witnessed with open sites in front and a pop up one in the rear! so if something goes wrong with the optics you can still use the iron sites!!

It's a colt H Bar national match lower with a Willson combat M-4 SMG Upper!

To be honest I couldn't do any of that until the kids were grown, and out on their own.
And...
Sorry man...
I forgot about your problem with disclipline.......

Great weapon you have there Gary! I'd love to try it out sometime. As far as training goes, as I mentioned earlier, it just doesn't make sense to me to put money and time into training with a weapon I don't own. I'm sure I'd still learn a lot, I just think I'd get more out of it if it was my own weapon.

Thank you Sam! I work under the KISS theory "keep it simple stupid" but sometimes I get it wrong! "Keep it stupid simple"
