Ok I think I have narrowed it down to the two AR's

I'm debating between the two rifles.

Rock River Arms - National Match A2

Or Stag 15 Left Hand model 4L from Arms East (I like the left hand feature)

Are those riflese chamered for different ammo? .223 Wylde Chamber vs 5.56 Nato? Are those the same bullets. I plan to scope the rifle and maybe a bipod. What are pros cons of each one. They are priced similarly.
Fire away

Thanks in advance

If you plan to scope it,, I wouldn't recommend the A2 configuration. You would be happier with the flat-top.

The .223 Wylde can be characterized as half-way between the SAAMI .223 Remington and the 5.56mm NATO chamber. The best of both worlds.
 
I just got my RRA Lower with NM-Stage 2 trigger... amazing!
I put on the RRA Winter Trigger Guard (WTH I figured).

I had picked up a Tango Down Grip to put on my AR and today was the day - The grip was the only pain-in-the-butt item.

It didn't fit perfectly initially (large gap between grip and receiver); however the problem was solved by using the stock AR grip bolt and making the hole in the grip oval with a file. The bolt got a good coating of loc-tite blue to ensure it wouldn't come loose. It's on solid and now it looks factory.

I'm going to bed now so I snapped this photo since I saw this thread.

I don't regret it! I ordered an RRA Upper as well... but it's a month away.

BTW: This is the Upper I am getting (top one)
