Why does everyone want a flat top AR?

Mounting optics.

My 5.56 AR is a flat top with sweet flip up iron sights.

good lookin gun Bigum

6.0 mb/second

My cable modem was a little faster, but also a lot more $$$$

That's the speed I get for my cable at 66.67 per month counting tax.

 

[EvilleDoug]

if and when I get an AR, I want it to be in 5.56, that way I can shoot the .223 ammo too

6.0 for 14.99!! How long does that offer last? I'm on 7.1 for 34.99.

No optics for me on a battle rifle. I'll just stick to irons.

I received some rep from Big!

Yup.

It's a better deal for me this way.

I also use Dish Network now too. It's cheaper than cable and has more HD stuff.

I do miss certain things about cable, but not the price.

Well on my way to another badge now!

Why not have both?

If it's good enough for the Army, Navy, Marines and Air Force, it works for me!

 

[Bigum1969]

Plus, you have good eyesight jclark.

Just bad feet...

I have the same setup. Works pretty well most of the time.

Do you lose your Dish service during storms?

Exactly.

I only have 1 AR15 ATM, but it has an ACOG and an ARMS buis. It's a pretty sweet setup...I'd much rather have a flattop I w/ buis and have an option for optics, than an AR with a non-detachable carry handle(yes, I'm aware you can mount optics on the handle, but it's awkward and ugly to me.

No TV for me I've got a desktop hooked to the big screen via HDMI, I Hulu and Netflix.

Same here, my AR is just staying to irons. If I need a scope then one of my bolt guns will come out.

Too easy to get a scope bumped.
scopes are good for my bolt actions, not the battle rifles.

Only if it gets really bad. 2-3 times a year maybe. Never for more than a few minutes.
