Spotted an American Tactical 5.56 AR NIB for $610

Recommended Posts

I was picking up my Bushmaster Carbon 15 at Franks Tackle in Wayne and saw they had a American Tactical ( Polymer Lower) for $610. Had single rail gas block , A2 comp and pinned stock.

 

I was very impressed.. The Finish on the Bushmaster Carbon-15 I was picking up looked like crap compared to the AT . Plus the gas block was a cheap shaved A2 front sight touched up with black paint and no break/comp on the barrel. ( just crowned)

 

I paid exactly $610 for the Carbon-15 as well but also had to pay $25 shipping and $45 transfer fee

They had just the one American Tacticsl for $610.

 

The polymer "Omni" lower looks perfect.. Very hard to tell it is not aluminum..

 

I am so pissed I ordered a Carbon -15.

 

So even though they were the same base price I had to pay shipping and transfer fee... Plus the carbon -15 awb complient version had no comp/break. I dropped off the barrel at G&S hunting in Patterson to thread, in pin a cheap A2 comp. another $165.

 

At least they are going to cut the barrel to 14.5" for a true 16" setup.

 

All in I paid $840. Way to much...

 

I got to say $610 for a jersey compliant AR from a local shop is an awesome price....

 

Everyone is selling the Windham's and Busmasters for over $900 at the guns stores in north jersey.

If someone does not go down there and pick up that rifle this weekend I just might have to do it myself.

 

I can't get it out of my mind... It would work well with a Diamondhead VRS Drop in rail and an ACE ultralight Stock. Both are about $100. So for about $800 you would have a great range rifle that might is only a tad over 5lbs.

    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
