Thanks. I was curious what your opinion was based on and now I know.
In my case, I like how fast the rifle handles in close quarters with the reduced weight out front. It is not a match rifle, but plenty accurate for my intended use.
BTW, did you know that the original M-16 rifles all had pencil barrels?

Re: AK, AR, SKS range comparison, Trying to decide which to
drjoker,
Can you elaborate on your comment about pencil barrels?
I ask because I have a 16" pencil barrel on my colt. I have shot it at 500 yards and was able to hit not ony a 3' steel plate, but hit whichever target I wished on that plate. I did this using sand bags and a 4x ACOG. Also, the barrel was too hot to hold at the time. I wanted to see what heating up would do to it's accuracy. As far as I could tell, it had no effect.
So I'm curious, what makes them "garbage"?
