F-88 vs. M4

reply to post by Ezekial


The F88 is a very decent weapon for a bullpup rifle.

But my personal favorite is the M4/AR platform. It is easy to find parts for it, ammunition type is plentiful, it's gas system can be easily converted.

Edit to add:

A standard M4, or ar15-Hbar weighs usually no more than 7-8.5 lbs and that with a 30 rnd clip. It is a well balances rifle and the action itself can be modified by minor adjustments and weights(like bolt carrier tungsten carbide weights). A REALLY well made AR platform rifle will take any abuse you throw at it. Even the cheap ones will go through hell with you, even if they're a little picky with ammo.

As long as you have reliable magazines you should have NO problems with an M4/AR platform rifle, save for any lapses in routine cleaning.

I can do a mag change on M4 with my left while its still pointing at the target/downrange.
Bullpup - slower reloads.

I buy my own mags. If Magpul was a hot chick, I would make it have my babies

I've Magpul-ed the hell out of my M-Forgery(civvy M4) and my girlfriends 20" AR. Magpul makes the best, most reliable mags and they're not too expensive.

I have held an AUG but never shot one, it was kind of weird considering it is bullpup and the location of the mag. When it comes down to it is personal opinion and are somewhat similiar considering that both fire the .223
