I'm curious as to what people here prefer when building an AR and why.
I'm awaiting a new full length keymod handguard to replace the 7" one that I previously had. I'll be the first to admit that this is almost purely for appearances sake, as I personally just like the look of a longer handguard and want a flush fit the rest of the rifle upper. I don't have (or want) a lot of accessories so aside from the longer sight radius on iron sights there is little benefit (for me) for going full length.
What do you all think? I see a lot of nice ARs in the picture thread, many seem to use shorter handguards. Any particular reason?
