I get that analogy.

Thanks very much; the subjective info was exactly what I was looking for. I'm not building an SBR or doing a "retro" tribute, was literally just curious. I was out before the A2 came along. I'd agree with you that the M4-like substance got it pretty right for a lot of roles. My carbine is a delight in the bush & the 16" midlength w/ACOG shoots pretty well too, both happily digest my M193 and handle just fine. ('Course I'm not hanging a ton of HSLD light-weight stuff on 'em either.)

Thanks again.
