We went to the local range here outside SA and the owner was selling his last AR (he builds them as well as very nice 1911's) for $1250. Nice gun with a 20" SS heavy barrel. Nice to see he wasn't in gauging mode. I am pretty pleased with the two I own so I passed hoping someone without may pick it up.
He must be the only guy in town who isn't gouging... which range, which guy? I'm also in SA. What upper/lower/barrel does he use? PM me if you like.
