Message Subject I need advice on an AR-15
Poster Handle Anonymous Coward
Post Content
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.

Get an AR pistol and a brace. Lightweight, short barrel, no tax stamp.

OP, from a female ex-mil, the very short rifles produce a lot of recoil. Hard recoil will hurt the shoulder and make it longer to re-sight after each shot. The gunpowder for a larger round like 5.56 produces a shock, and the steel of the Ar's frame and barrel absorb some of the shock. The AR pistols look cool in the movies and I guess they would be more ergonomic to shoot from the front seat of a car. I'd stick with the 16". Or, try both at a range first before you buy. It's like trying on shoes at a store vs ordering a pair online.
