Looking at my first AR type and came across this. I'm a rookie at this - good deal?

It's about $200 more than I remember it it to be. This is the sportical model, about as basic as an AR-15 gets. If that's all you can find and you think you need an AR-15 right now, then go for it.

Do a little research on 223 vs 5.56 chambers. I see many people mention the chambers are different, but never found out exactly what the difference is. I suspect a 5.56 mil-spec chamber is looser than a commercial 223 chamber, and if you reload stay away from the 5.56.....

Price seems pertty good to me, haven't seen many AR's for under $900.

You can fire .223 in a 5.56 chamber.Thats as cheap as it gets now a days.I like clean,simple uncomplicated rifles(basic).I dont have mud flaps on my truck either.

We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth?

dont get a sportical its bottom of the barrel, it does not have forward assist or even a dust cover over the ejection port! spend the extra 100 and get a hbar or m4
