The AR-15 Giveaway Winner: Hunter Carr Feedback: Bear: Hey guys, I've been tweaking my first AR (a pretty base line DPMS), & finally have it about where I want it. It cycles well, & somewhat slower than most other ARs I've tried, leaving the felt recoil much lower & less jarring. I love the way it shoots, & it's turned into a great first project. But because we can never be satisfied, I'm now thinking of starting my first build. It's going to be in .308, & I'm considering something in the bullpup realm so that I can have a longer barrel without sacrificing overall length. Before I get to that, I'd like to purchase another .223/5.56, as I'm considering cerakoting pink & giving my current AR to my girlfriend if & when we decide to get married. Being a .223/5.56, I'd again like to go w/ something shorter & came across a link for what appears to be a great "SHOT Show" sale on complete AR pistols through Radical Firearms. I'm wondering what you guys can tell me about the manufacturer, if there's anything in particular I should look out for, & also what you might recommend for a barrel length. I'd like something that's accurate between 100-200 yards, but the primary concern is coming up with something that's easier to handle like my DPMS has turned out to be (so I'm considering a carbine length gas system as opposed to pistol length, & anything else that might make it a better handler). I would gladly sacrifice shortness for ease of use as It's already going to be shorter than a conventional AR. Thanks for any insight you might have on this, & for all you do through the podcast. I listen to lots of them on the FRN, but when I have technical questions or something specific to the AR platform, the AR-15 Podcast is definitely my first stop. Sorry for the length of this, below is a link to the Radical Firearms promo & a couple pictures of my current rig for your critique (I do have a somewhat unique variable zoom/ red dot combo not pictured here as well, but I love my irons!).
