You won't go wrong with DD, they are a solid brand.
Its funny, for 99% of users, I steer them towards heavy barreled varmint guns because all they will be doing is sitting on a bench and shooting. Yet everyone always wants the super-crazy ninja squirrel gun that will be under-utilized.

They're going for 1.5" shorter overall length. A 16" barrel with a muzzle device affixed becomes longer than 16".
No, seems pointless. Why would you want to trade off that much velocity for an inch of saved OAL?

Trying to avoid it being an SBR? Still needs to be a 16", so you save no length.
Making an SBR? Then why have it "fixed"?
Your question is perplexing.

Originally posted by BiteThePullet View PostRed dot is an excellent choice. If I were using it as a duty weapon in a more rural area, I believe that I would also use a magnifier of some sort, but as a range toy it is unnecessary.
For a sling - I find that one point are best for transitions between weapons, because they are quick to manipulate. Two point are slower for transitions, but can be used to brace the weapon with your support arm. Also, they can be quickly cinched tight, in case you need to run.
However you run it, that rifle, at that price - you will not be disappointed. I don't know if you are mechanically minded, but if you are, you will find that tinkering around with an AR is also a really fun way to spend time.
