re: $499 AR 15 at Primary Arms right now

Thanks for that, informative.

Whenever someone calls a gun "trash", I like to clarify it. Sometimes, it's not an elite or prestigious model, but will function and serve it's purpose. Other times it's literally dangerous to use (Ring of Fire).

Considering the times we're in right now, people "in the know" need to differentiate between those levels, be it for rifles, handguns etc. Like I said, I'm not looking for an Ed Brown or Nighthawk version of the AR. Totally fine with an Armscor or Tisas level... meets spec, runs.
