IMHO, yes. But Im sure others may disagree with me. For $326.27 shipped per 1k ( =$6.53 per box) its a great deal on true Mil spec 5.56 ammo right now.

x2 on building one, it so easy a caveman could do it. And when you build it you get the exact parts you want on it instead of buying one built, then spending more money on changing stocks, grips, handguards, etc...

Lol, I was just reading a thread over on Arfcom about what the ammo prices were like 10-20 years ago and decided I need to build a time machine. Guys were talking about around $120 for 1k of surplus 5.56 in the late 90s early 2000s.

200 yards

Meh, the Prvi 5.56 stuff is way better than that mexican made .223 (and its out of stock anyways). Not to mention about 2 months ago AIM surplus was selling the Aguila for $270 per 1k

It would be $326.27 shipped to me if they still have some this weekend (yeah right)

IIRC to get the stock off, you have to take the buttpad off first, then you can get to the screw that holds the stock to the gun

Ahhhhhhhh dammit, it figures that I wont have the money for this till the weekend, and they only have 14 cases left. I already got 1k of this stuff and would love to pick up at least 1k more.

You say this, but who has it in stock? Links? I bought a case of this 1 1/2 months ago for $300 shipped and will gladly buy more at that price.

1/9 should be good for up to 69gr, but you'll have to test out different ammo to see what rounds your gun likes best

Haha, it sure is. I kept staring at the stripped lower sitting in my drawer for 2 months until I got a lower build kit. Then I was staring at a completed lower for another 4 months until I finally got my upper, but the wait was worth it.

Havent had a problem, hell I can even get on thier site on my phone with no issues (except that they are sold out of the .22s again, dammit)

Looks great, good shooting too. Now you know why I told you youd love that upper once you got to shoot it, I know I love mine. IMHO you cant beat a quality 14.5" mid with a good comp on the end of it.

This ^^^. Plus when you build one you learn how everything in the gun works, then you have a better understanding of what to look for if something fails. Building is also nice if you cant afford to drop $800+ all at once, you can buy the parts as money permits.

Its from the movie "Team America : World Police". IIRC, Noveske was the ones who started putting that on their dustcovers

Congrats.... I wish I could do it. Been smoking for almost 1/2 my life, started at 16, now 31. Im always good untill I start drinking though........then its back to smoking.

no big deal, just you didnt quote him so it kinda sounded like you were talking about the OP (me) but I had been drinking then, and am toasted now, lol.

Yet another reason why children need to know how to properly handle firearms. Reminds me of this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tiiQQP4-Ijw

R.I.P. Ol' Shel, keep kicking a** on the bigass track in the sky

Ive actually found that telling people you have guns because you "enjoy target shooting", works alot better than telling people "I go shooting alot" , lol And Ive converted a few that now are calling me, to want to see if I want to go to the range with them.

Im not gonna get into the whole Eotech/black rifle/hollowpoint thing because I wasnt there and dont know both sides of the story. But I will say that my friend wanted to get a stripped ar lower transfered through them about 1 year ago and they told him they wouldnt do it without him first showing them that he had a fixed stock for it. Even though he was just buying the lower to build at a later date (he actually just finished building it 2 months ago.) Its a shame too because they are literally less than 400 yards from my front door.

Or why not just buy a Mosin or two and hang them up?

Gotcha, did you call them?

Yea cause I posted this almost a week ago
