So.... I was think about picking up a new toy. Didn't have to be brand new but definitely wanted it to be minty. LGS had a tactical AR platform with awesome furniture and 30rd clips for 5.56 boolits. The sales guy said it was a tack driver and the price was $500ish. So... I pulled the trigger. When I got home I lubed her up real well cuz I know she'll like to run wet. At the range I fed her a steady diet of remmie .223 which I picked up for a good deal with a rebate check. The gun runs buttery smooth bustin' caps, and the fire control group breaks like glass. Not sure if I'll use it for bear or two-legged critter defense... better to judged by 12 than carried by 6... just sayin'.
