Choosing the Right AR-15 Rifle

The AR-15 platform is valued for modularity, so start by defining the rifle's purpose, then match components to that use.

  • Caliber, 5.56 NATO / .223 Rem is the most common and cost effective. Other options include .300 Blackout for suppressed use and 6.5 Grendel for longer-range performance.
  • Barrel length, 16 inches is the most versatile. Shorter barrels improve maneuverability, longer barrels increase velocity and accuracy. Short-barreled rifles require federal paperwork.
  • Furniture and features, adjustable stocks, free-float handguards, and optics-ready receivers make customization easier.
  • Purpose, choose parts and accessories based on whether the rifle will be for home defense, hunting, competition, or general range use.
