Two things only from all the advice I continue to read, IMHO you need to SHOOT a 16 incher before you get one, so you are aware of the noise level, even using plugs and muffs. I'm not saying its horrible, but there is a HUGE difference between it and even one of my 18s.....
Second another poster talked Tier 1 guns, though some of us have pointed away from them for the dollars, be aware you cannot go wrong with a tier one gun. Its just that you spend a bit more cash. Some feel better with that and thats cool too. Some of us know its not needed, but then we know how to trouble shoot and IF we get a bad RRA for example, its easy to fix and we go through a few things like trigger pins, and gas keys to name 2, right away to make sure thats good. IE its cheaper for me to look at them than to pay a couple hundred extra to not have to.
