Tactical Defense 1911,

I'm trying to hold out but I really want to get this thing started and yes prices are sky high. The last gun show I went to AK's were going for 900-1100

Being a Noob to AR's I figured a 16" barrel would be a good place to start. The main reason I'm interested in the bull barrel is (correct me if I'm wrong) they hold up longer? The bull barrel kind of jumped out and for lack of a better term, was easy on the eyes.

I know a few guys that have um and love um for hunting coyotes.

Auto426,

I agree about going with the middy gas system. I'll have to check out those hand guards. What's your recommendation on chambers? I was thinking about going with the Wylde.
