I must have done at least one thing right.

A very good day!!! Well done:tu

Just in case anyone has sent or was planning on sending anything to Anvil Arms, the company went under and the previous owner has made off with a large quantity of money, gun parts, and class III items.

This just happened within the last month...

This is going to get very very messy now that the BATFE is involved. The previous owner has been ordered to turn in all hardware and class III but has not complied as of yet.

Just wanted to give the gun heads like me a heads up. :tu

I have never used them. Thanks for the heads up! It is never good when the BATFE gets involved.

If I could afford it, one would be under the tree for her.

Have you looked into CPO's? You can find them a great deal cheaper than new and often they are almost perfect in everyway. :tu

The Sig she wants is the 556... I don't think there are any deals deep enough anywhere.

Anyone have an opinion about the Nikon Coyote Special in the 4.5x14?

I know there are quite a few of you who have an AR-15. When I get out of the academy in another 7 weeks I want to buy one my gift to myself. I was hoping I could get some input from those of you that have one. Ideally I would like to find one in the 6-700 dollar range if possible.

Where is a good place to buy one online?
Where is a good place to get inexpensive .223 rounds?

I was interested in this one:

gunbroker.com I've bought quite a few things off there. Great deals as well. They just ship to your local dealer or anyone that carries an FFL.

AIM Surplus

Ammoman

That's not a bad price for a NEW complete rifle.

Don't forget to check out ar15.com's equipment exchange. If you're patient, and check back often, there are good deals to be had.

Looks good to me. Just so you are aware, that is a left handed model. I would prefer a 1/7 twist, but a 1/9 twist will be fine :tu

I wish mine was a lefty. Never really had a problem getting drilled in the head by spent brass but I'm sure I'd appreciate it after a couple hundred rounds.

I assume I could order it in a right handed model?
