How does it hold up Justin? Looks like a weird design for the clip.

emopunker2004 · 01-31-2013, 10:39 PM

It's all kydex and it just clips over your pants and belt. You pick a clip size based on the width of your belt 1.5" or 1.75". It's all molded from once piece of kydex

Nice. Sturdy then, huh?

Chainsaw13 · 01-31-2013, 10:50 PM

Since I'm new to the whole AR world, if I were to find a slightly used one that fits what I'm looking for, what questions should I ask the seller? I'm looking at a varmint style, so don't know if that makes any difference. Should also add, more than likely this would be done online, so I wouldn't be able to handle it before hand.

1. Chrome bore/chamber?
2. Semi-or M16 Bolt carrier group? (It will fire semi either way but the m16 bcg is heavier and typically runs better, not a deal breaker either way)
3. Round count?
4. What kind of trigger?

Why not get a regular style AR and just use it to varmint hunt?

Prepare to pay a pretty penny in this market regardless.

good deal on a budget rifle case here if anyone needs one.

bear in mind that won't fit AR rifles too well.... at least not with any substantial optics mounted on them.....

I think this is what I'll buy with some of the tax return money

Well, that's where logic goes out the window. I kinda fell in love with the Varmint style look a few years back. Always thought it would be cool to get one. Fast forward to today's situation and now I have this desire to get one. Unfortunately I seem to have the worst sense of timing. I'm in no rush, the right deal would have to come along for me to pull the trigger (ha!).

Might be better to wait it out then.
My lgs had complete stag lowers for 400

I have always ordered one with the holster since all orders have been a first for that particular gun.

Most important to me would be to ask if its was an actual rifle or it was put together from parts. Right now though if its a pieces and parts rifle vs. a good quality AR (LMT-Bravo Co, Colt, Knights armament, Daniel Defense, Spikes, Yankee Hill Machine, Saber Defense, forgetting a few) Prices are to the moon I would hold off for little unless you must have one now.

Yeah, my M&P 15.

Yea, I"ve been looking for a RockRiver or CMMG setup.

Not bad from either company, but if I was purchasing any used upper, I'd be a little hesitant if I couldn't see it first. Reason is I'd like to be able to check the crown for any damage and wear to any other parts. Brand new I'd have no worries as I can deal with the company to fix any issues.
