AR-15 carbines make up most of this page, so compare barrel length, gas system length, handguard and optic mounting, with a 16-inch barrel and mid-length gas system as the common all-around setup. Check that the chamber is 5.56 NATO or .223 Wylde, which safely fire both 5.56 and .223 Remington. Non-AR designs like the IWI Tavor X95 bullpup or Ruger Mini-14 offer a shorter overall length or a traditional stock.
