[QUOTE="henschman, post: 2233620, member: 4235"] If you've gotta have a carbine version, I greatly prefer the 18" barreled models, like the Springfield Scout and the higher quality mil spec ones from the upper end mfg's. They keep the GI gas system/front sight/flash hider setup instead of the SOCOM's proprietary parts. With a short flash hider like a Vortex, they are barely any longer, and handle just as good... better really, without the giant quad rail setup the SOCOM II has. If you want a forward mounted optic, the Ultimak M8 scout mount is better than the factory mounts. Light weight, and low enough to co-witness a red dot with the irons. The irons are the best part about these rifles! If I were in the market for another M-14 type, I would be looking at 7.62mm Firearms. They build mil spec rifles with Criterion chrome lined barrels.
