Pistoleros of Preeminence
In the distant future, I will buy an AR-15 style rifle. I write distant as at the rate I purchase other stuff for my guns – I won’t ever save the cash (example: P30 mags at Midwayusa NOW).
Looking at two models that happen to be recommended or marketed by former Delta Force guys. And Delta Force is really cool – at least I imagine them to be.
Considerations-
1. Laziness: The more stuff I don’t have to do (or more accurately, pay someone else to do) to the gun – the better.
2. Price: Ref. para one of this post.
Cut to the chase:
Gun 1: Smith and Wesson M&P15 VTAC

Little bit longer barrel. Rails aren’t everywhere to mess up my hands. Honestly – there will be two things on the front of my rifle a) flash-light and b) gangster-grip. But it’s direct impingement – and we know what that means – nasty dirty insides - ugh. Apparently it has a good trigger. Now – the rifle doesn’t come with any sights. None… and that’s a con. I know I am going to have to get optics. But come on.

Gun 2: Primary Weapon Systems Mk114

It appears that this gun has everything. And it’s a piston. While I haven’t shot any piston-guns, my frustration with the insane amount of cleaning the DI guns has me really interested. My perusing of forums indicate that there are many issues with piston guns though…

Price Considerations:
1. PWS Mk114 with Mil discount: Approx. $1400 (+shipping, FFL and all that).
2. Smith and Wesson (from Buds LE with S&W Nations Finest Rebate): Approx. $1300 (+shipping, FFL and all that).
Standing by for thoughts, comments.
