·Wich one is the better to have on an AR? Also can you shoot .223 in a 5.56 nato chamber?
I'm unsure on the first question, I've heard different answers.Wich one is the better to have on an AR? Also can you shoot .223 in a 5.56 nato chamber?
It depends. With Chrome-lined, you will give up some accuracy. But what kind of rig are you buying / building? A CQB version - I'd go chrome-lined. Reason - longer barrel life and easier to clean. But a long-distance sniper-type rig, I'd go chrome-moly for better accuracy.Wich one is the better to have on an AR?
Yes, but not the other way around. You can shoot either .223 or 5.56 in a chamber for 5.56. But you should only shoot .223 in a .223 chamber. You should check out the ammo oracle, lots of good infoAlso can you shoot .223 in a 5.56 nato chamber?
I love that, but I'd go with a flat top and put your own rear sight on there. This will give you more options for optics and the like. I think RRA makes an A2 sight like that that mounts instead of being intigrated. I have a RRA tactical carry handle that has a piece of flat mount and essentially gives me that set up. Difference is it comes off when I need to mount a scope.It'll be next Feb but this is what I'm hoping for.

I'd skip the UTE upper and go with a regular flat top. No sense being stuck with a permanent A2 sight.It'll be next Feb but this is what I'm hoping for.

I have that gun except I have the tactical. The 2 stage trigger is pretty nice. I shot a aftermarket 2 stage by another company and it was a little nicer, But for the money the RRA trigger is smooth. Here is mine, I have added some ladders to protect my rails.It'll be next Feb but this is what I'm hoping for.

Yes it is, I want to get something different, something a little fatter and with molded finger grooves. But that is not on my list of priorities for my AR right now.Is that a Hogue grip?
Eagle has them for under $100I was just unsure of the removeable rear sights. Thanks to you all I will most likely go with the one in the pic above. What would be a decent rear sight thats modeately priced? These (below) are on the RRA web site and are a little over $100.

I don't think that it affects anything. But I am still learning about the AR..I like this one REAL well too. This one comes with the tactical removable carry handle(on it in the pic), the 6 position stock. With the chrome lined barrel option retail is $1040. The UTE2 with the (optional) 6 position stock and chrome lined barrel option retails for $1025. So either way I'm cool with it. I know I won't pay full retail at my local dealer so that's even better!

I do have a question though? What's with the short handguard? How does it affect the gun(reliability and whatnot)? Thats where the gas tube is right?
