Hey everyone, hope this opens up a good discussion.
In one of the recent Modcasts (I believe it was "Improving the AR-15", but not sure), the question was posed to the effect of what would the panelists choose for their patrol rifle. Chad answered (and hopefully I'm not skewing this too out of context) that the only rifles he would take were factory rifles that he hadn't modified. Now, coming from someone with his background, I found that a pretty profound statement. So, here's the questions I would like to pose:
For a "work gun", meaning a patrol rifle, serious training rifle, contractor's personal rifle, etc., limited exclusively to the AR-15, is there an appropriate mount of self modification that can be done, and where does one draw the line? Is there a limit to what modification can be done before the reliability of the rifle starts being affected?
Hope this sparks a good discussion, and looking forward to learning from everyone's perspective.
