The AR-15 is a very popular firearm. It's easy to get an AR-10 or M4 and then add a tactical scope or optics. You can also find accessories for small rifles and handguns such as flashlights and magazines. Each one has its own benefits. This article will help you choose the right rifle for you.
AR-10
The Small AR-10 rifle can be used for small, but versatile purposes. It is powered by a 7.62x51mm bullet. Because it's smaller in size, it gives shooters more bang. It includes a wood stock and hand guard as well as grips. It was created for gun enthusiasts as well as military personnel. Here are five reasons why this gun is perfect for beginners or experienced shooters.
AR-15
You should keep several things in mind when cleaning your Small AR-15. First, the bolt can only be inserted one way into the carrier. The bolt face is similar to a gear that has an extractor on one side and an ejector the other. After removing the bolt from your rifle, insert the campin into the BCG's top and push down the firing pin through it. This will allow you to disassemble the rifle quickly and easily.
M4
The M4 rifle is a military service rifle that looks similar to the M16 as well as the civilian AR-15. The M4's shorter barrel and under-barrel launcher for grenade launches are features that distinguish it from its predecessors. The M4 receivers look similar to AR-15s. They have the same adjustment for feed ramps as the auto sear and the same adjustment for the lock. However, the M4s of the future are flat-top. The AR-15's barrel length is shorter than that of its M14 counterpart. This makes it lighter and less recoil.
M4 carbine
The United States Army created the M4 Carbine, an advanced small arms rifle. Its 14.5-inch barrel makes it a great choice for troops outside of the infantry. It has replaced the M16A2 Marines and Army. Meanwhile, the U.S. Air Force transitioned to M4 for Security Forces squadrons. The predecessor, the M16A2, is still available for other armed personnel. The US Navy loves the M4 carbine. They use it as a Patrol carbine. Its shorter barrel and carbine gas system makes it ideal for vehicle crews and Special Operations.
M4 pistol
An M4 pistol is a great choice if you are looking for a small AR. The M4 was specifically designed for military purposes and is a great choice for smaller targets. Its small barrel makes concealment much easier. There are differences between M4 pistols for civilian and military use. For example, the M4 doesn't have a burst fire mode, while AR-15 has both fire and safety. The M4 and AR-15 also have minor differences.
M4 rifle
M4s and AR-15s both use the 5.56x45mm ammunition. They share many similarities in design and have similar characteristics. The M4's gas tube is shorter than that of the AR-15. However, the barrel on the M4 is longer, which reduces recoil. A longer barrel might also help with pressure issues. However, the M4's adjustable feed ramp is available. The legal length of an AR-15 barrel is 16 inches. To legalize a shorter barrel, an SBR tax stamp will be required.

How To
How to hunt wild ducks
Decoys are the most common method of hunting wild ducks. The best method is to use live decoy birds and set them up at a distance from your blind so you can see them from afar. Windy conditions are a bad time to hunt as the birds can quickly disappear. You might also be able to scare away some birds if you have several hunters nearby.
It is important to know how many wild ducks you wish to hunt. You shouldn't shoot if you don't know the type of bird you are shooting. You must ensure you have enough ammunition so you can take down as many birds or not.
If you do end with killing many birds you will want to clean the meat and prepare it before you eat. It is best not to wait until the meat is done cooking. Remove any bones or feathers from the meat once it is done.
Wild ducks are often found near water, but sometimes they can be seen flying through fields, woods, and swamps. Because they fly low to ground, it makes them easy targets. Keep your distance from wild duck hunters until you are close enough to take a shot. This means being quiet and still as you wait to take a shot.
