AR-15 A2 Upper config question

I have used my A2 upper for years, even mounted an eotech to one, but I am being told that I am outdated, no one uses A2 uppers anymore.

I actually like the A2 front site and carry handle rear sight set-up.

Am I a freaking dinosaur or what?

Besides an obvious flat top, what would i be missing keeping my A2 upper recievers?

all answers are welcomed..

thanks..

I beg to differ.

Big difference between this

so what about the A2 subject?</div></div>
I wouldn't call that an opinion at all.

If an A2 set-up suits you fine and you like the carry handle sights...who gives a shit if someone thinks it's outdated.

I agree with DK. Go with what works for you. Who cares what other use or what the flavor of the month is.

I think he may be suggesting that you are posting a bunch of stupid stuff in order to get your 50 posts required for selling on the forum.
