I'm good with the lowering price of AR's until they start selling them for food stamps.

That would cause issues.

Just purchased a lightweight carbine myself a couple weeks ago, Bristoe. I went with the Colt AR6720 with the pencil barrel.

It has a standard Front sight post and a MBUS rear sight, I have a Vortex SPARC II on the way from Cameraland to set on top for a quick handling rig.

I have a Rock River Arms ATH rifle for Predator hunting.......does well on Prairie Dogs out to about 400 yards..... grin

There's no grittyness in the bolt and the trigger was a nice surprise. It's not particularly light, but it breaks very clean.

The collapesable buttstock is a bit loose, but I never much liked them anyway. One of the very few changes I intend to do to it is put an Ace skeletal buttstock on it,..which will drop a few ounces of weight and provide a more rigid shoulder point. The Ace also comes with an optional 1" butt pad which should make the LOP more proper for my long arms.

Like I said,..it's just a toy. Except for the stock and a scope I'm going to leave it just like it is,..no geegaws. I want to see how well one of these ultralight AR-15 carbines can shoot.

Nice acquisition, Bristoe. I have a RRA CAR-15 much like that, with an Aimpoint T1 on it. Very similar setup. I shot a 1-day (400 rnd) carbine class with it, and it did just fine. I predict you're gonna love it.
