What are you building the AR for? If it is for bench accuracy, go with the 20" bull. Weight doesnt matter much if youre on a bench and sandbags. If you plan on walking around with this...:uhhok: Weight up front REALLY matters.

I like to keep mine short because I use the AR for plinking. I havent shot it at a target over 50 yards

I am so serious about keeping those around you safe from stray fire and in an invasion situation most firing happens less than 12' from the target...can you panic level and accuratley hit body mass in 3 seconds with a bullet? I know you can with a shotgun spread but the bullet you only get one chance since the average person can close 12 feet in 3 seconds or so and you only get one shot with that kind of timing to consider.

Seriously reconsider if this is for home defense, I mean this in all honesty and out of concern for those around you.
Fucking word. This is important. Even with home defense round you need to be careful...bullets will penetrate and keep a lot of momentum. Other than size, theres no better home defense than a shotgun with some buckshots.

Spread of buckshots > .45 bullet

16" DPMS bull barrel, the only thing holding me back from the bull barrel was the brightness of the stainless steel, this changed me mind
