F-88 vs. M4, page 2

The F88 is a very decent weapon for a bullpup rifle.

But my personal favorite is the M4/AR platform. It is easy to find parts for it, ammunition type is plentiful, it's gas system can be easily converted.

Edit to add:

A standard M4, or ar15-Hbar weighs usually no more than 7-8.5 lbs and that with a 30 rnd clip. It is a well balances rifle and the action itself can be modified by minor adjustments and weights(like bolt carrier tungsten carbide weights). A REALLY well made AR platform rifle will take any abuse you throw at it. Even the cheap ones will go through hell with you, even if they're a little picky with ammo.

As long as you have reliable magazines you should have NO problems with an M4/AR platform rifle, save for any lapses in routine cleaning.

I've Magpul-ed the hell out of my M-Forgery(civvy M4) and my girlfriends 20" AR. Magpul makes the best, most reliable mags and they're not too expensive.
