I've been looking into them Mike. They seem to be very slow, but have a decent product.

Here's what I'm considering:

16'' AR15 C.A.R. Kit, 5.56 NATO, chrome lined chamber & bore, 1-9 twist, target crown, BAN COMPLIANT; A3 w/removable flip rear sight, 4 aperture, $65.00 option; 4 rail gas block sight base, $38.00 option; Standard bolt & carrier; Badger extended latch chg hndl, $14.00 option; YHM free float 4 rail handguard, $100.00 option; Fixed CAR buttstock; Standard A2 grip; Black

Total $712.00

Thoughts?

That's a hell of a price. I have heard Model1Sales is back logged a little because of the election. I'm kinda tall so in the 16 inch models I like the dissipator which has the full size grips. It allows me to get my left hand further away. I like you're choice of options. I'd like to see some pics posted when you finally get it all assembled.

Hmmm....I will have to seek out some similar models to try them out. Unfortunately, there aren't any ARs available in any of the local shops and none of my shooting friends own one. I'm 6'4", but I tend to have a very tight shooting position while standing.

It's all preference. I'm 6'6". A friend I work with is 6'7" and he likes the CAR style. It's all relative. Check out both if you can. If not, you can just fondle a 20" model and pretend.

Sounds kinds gross now that I read that last sentence...
