First, since your man likes AK's, you should consider a 300 blackout AR15 pistol. It will be very comparable to his AK is many aspects. Second, depends on what state you live in for all of this, so that is important. Anyways, get a 30 cal brake with an out the front cover. It will help reduce the kick, and also send sound down range rather than to the side. Next, arm brace, but add on a folding stock attachment. As for barrel, get a nitrided barrel. They will be more accurate than the chrome ones, and last as long if not longer. That's been a back and forth battle for years which is better. Most people don't shoot 10k rounds of both to compare. I like to buy parts on deltateamtactical. It's the walmart of gun parts, so not the best quality always, but none of my guns have failed me. If you've shot enough, get a 3 pound trigger. It makes everything complete. Good luck. You will shoot better with an AR if you get a scope, compared to his AK. They are usually pretty worn out by the time normal people own them. So usually not the most accurate. [/quote] OP - please ignore EVERYTHING this man? has said. The 5.56 AR has absolutely no kick whatsoever. 300 blackout is harder to find and stupid expensive. 300 blackout is really good for one thing only - it's VERY quiet and absolutely amazing with sub sonic (specialty) rounds and a suppressor. You DO NOT need a scope unless you want one. [/quote] Ignore anything you said. The 300 blackout does kick. Why? Because weight of bullet. Not a lot, but it kicks more than the 5.56. Also, the 300 blackout was the only ammo for sale when everything else was sold out. So bs on not finding ammo. It has near matched ballistics of the AK. So if the 300 bo is so bad, then the AK round is equally as bad. So you have no idea what you speak of. The 300 blackout also can shoot out of the pistol length barrels better than a 5.56. She has said she is getting a red dot. So in that case, a 300 bo would be an excellent setup. You are wrong buddy. Lastly to the OP. The pistols we speak of, are not short barrel rifles via the ATF. If you start with a pistol it stays a pistol. Short barrel and arm brace. That is why we were recommending those. They are short and legal in most states. [/quote]

Okay gun guys (and girls), I’m looking to get into an AR-15. Husband is an AK guy but he’s found an Armalite AR-15 LTC that weighs 6lbs unloaded. It has a 16” barrel. He said that was pretty much the lightest AR but that GLP was filled with gun knowledge people and see what someone here says.
Anyway, I’m looking for a lightweight AR that’s as short as possible without having to go through NFA tax stamp hassles. My price range is $900-$1200; $1200 being pretty much max.
I’m trying to get advice before I go to purchase because I’m sure they’ll think I’m just a dumb girl and they’ll try and sell me what they have instead of what I want: a short and light AR.
