[QUOTE="securitysix, post: 2749780, member: 32714"] Infantryman tough and will fit in that small bag? You don't need an AR. You need an Obrez. My most recent AR is built using blemished Anderson lower and upper receivers (saved a lot of money that way and you can't really tell they're blemished unless you really know where to look). Magpul CTR buttstock, MOE mid length fore end, Hogue pistol grip. Spikes Tactical CHF 16" barrel (lighter than M4 profile but heavier than a pencil barrel), A2 flash hider, YHM gas block with flip-up front sight tower, a Magpul MBUS rear sight and an ALG HTS set. I used an AIM Surplus 9310 BCG and a BCM Gunfighter ambidextrous charging handle and I also hung a Magpul AFG onto the fore end using a Magpul polymer rail and I went with a Magpul Enhanced Trigger Guard. That might get repositioned or removed, I'm not sure yet. I'm still missing an optical sight, but as it sits, the rifle weighs 6.5 pounds (measured by hanging it on a fish scale by the front sling swivel, so not super precise, but close enough). The upper from forward assist (sticks out past the back of the upper just a hair) to the end of the flash hider is just shy of 25 inches. I have no interest in building an SBR but if I were going to build one I'd probably do everything else the same and just build it with a shorter barrel. Keep in mind a 14.5" barrel is only going to save you a couple of inches over a 16" barrel, so you're still not going to fit it into your tiny bag, which means you're looking at 11" barrels or shorter. Instead of spending hundreds of dollars on a new gun that will fit inside a $30 hydration pouch, I think it would be better to spend a more on getting a better bag and use a rifle you already have (assuming you DO already have a rifle). I've been drooling over packs from Eberlestock for a while now. They have a few that are specifically designed for holding a fully assembled AR-15 and others that are designed to carry a traditional rifle or shotgun in a way that is easy to access but out of the way. And if you don't want to use the scabbard, a bigger pack still gives you more options. [/QUOTE]
