That's a good deal, but I'd stay away from a 16" barrel with a carbine gas system. It's much harder on the gun and will dirty it faster.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion but 16" guns are fine with the carbine gas system. Most guys on this board won't shoot more than 1000 rds through their AR in it's lifetime.

Yes, he will be fine with it, but it is a fact that a 16" barrel with a carbine length gas system is harder and dirtier on the gun. A 20" barrel with the standard gas system is even less dirty, easier on the gun and more reliable. I can see why one would want a 16" for compactness over a 20", but why would you want a shorter gas system than needed when it does no good whatsoever? It's for him to decide though; I'm just letting the facts be known.
