I've seen a couple of good tubed 16s at 600 for grins, they ain't bad, under MOA.....
3 guns, thats not even a good start.... ya know what I mean...
On the comments on ear muffs/plugs... I agree but I'll also tell you this, I'd sooner shoot my 26 inch without, than a 16... I've shot the 16s with custom plugs in and they are still loud.
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

My 16" light weight is a Colt 1/7 twist chrome lined barrel, it does just about 1 MOA but I could build a better suited gun for distance...
3 guns is what I ended up with, I've had a dozen or so, trimmed down to 6, then decided what I really needed and wound up with 3 quality guns built how I wanted them. It's hard on a poor boy.
Like I said my 44 YO ears are shot anyway and I don't notice the noise but I don't reccomend getting to my shape, work did that for me. Protect your hearing, regardless of barrel length.

Along with better figuring out exactly what you want, quality over quantity is something that happens with age it seems.

Isaac, you can try G&R Tactical, for both uppers and lowers. They have LMT Defenders w/SOPMOD & two stage triggers for $511. He often has items in stock that the website doesn't reflect. There are three nice complete rifles on the front page right now.
Again, if you've got the $, I doubt you'd regret the Noveske. If you have money to burn, check out the new FDE SPR on Noveske's main page. Absolute 18" Nirvana.

That Noveske 18 is SWEET but I'm not going through all this trouble to get a non-blackie.
I'd of bought it were it black. Gotta be black, man!

Now I find myself researching the piston versus gas differences.
I'm become much smarter than I was a month ago.I didn't think that was possible!

Gas Piston is a Red Herring the provides no increase in reliability in the AR format. . . . . AKs are better in that regard . . . .  BMTT

I'm sorry, I didn't know this was frenchmaidsinheaven.com. My mistake.
There goes Jeff, half-cocked again.
