·Hello all,
My wife's B-day is in September. She wants a 20" AR though she dosen't know she'll be getting one for her Birthday yet. I'm setting aside money every week from here till the middle of Sept. to pick up an AR Parts kit and a lower. The upper will be assembled already and I'll assemble the lower myself.
Now the questions. I really want the chrome lined barrel chamber for this thing. More reliablity and with the company I'm looking at they only offer the 1/7 twist with the Chrome lined upper. 1/7 is a plus in my mind as it lets me shoot all the 5.56 out there, at least according to Ammo-Oracle.
The problem comes in to where it will costs 125 extra dollars for the Chrome upper compared to the Un-chromed upper with a 1/9 twist. I should also note that the 1/9 upper has a faux press on flash suppressor where the 1/7 chrome lined has the real deal with a bayo lug
. I'm trying to make this as close as possible to an issue M16. Leaning towards the A4 though since both of these have flat-top uppers.
Any advice for me I'm kind stuck in between the two.

lined 1/7 twist upper- http://www.m-aparts.com/productsDetail.asp?id=52
In the end it may end up looking like the rifle below.
This is what the Marine Corps issues to grunts now. The rest of us still use the A2s
