You might wanna go look into how Springfield Sold out gun owners in Illinois. I won't be buying from them anymore.

I have been looking at the Ruger AR556, S&W M&P, and the Saint. For the extra money on the Saint you get stronger more expensive furniture, a longer handguard, a heavier bolt. The Saint is the only one with a M16 bolt. Just means it's a little heavier built. I like them all for entry level guns. I saw a Ruger sell for 450.00 the other day NIB. It's a buyers market right now. Thank you Donald Trump.

I will buy a Savage MSR15. Screw Springfield. They sold us down the river in Illinois.

I'll probably just build mine when I get to it....

I was down to the Saint vs the Savage Recon as my first AR. I had decided on the Recon because of the free float barrel and went to the local gunshop to talk about a transfer from Buds. I overheard him tell another customer about a "build an AR class". So I buy all of the parts from him at a reasonable price, he provides the tools and the instructions on a Sunday afternoon and I get a really nice AR. I upgraded the hand guard, barrel, and stock after consulting with him. So for about $100 over the price of a Recon (Buds price) I can get a lesson on a complete build of an upper and lower and get a sub minute AR (with match grade ammo) Works for me! Plus I support a local guy.

That's a cool deal with the local shop putting on a classroom type setting. Wish I had one around here that would. Let us know how it goes.

There will be pictures.
Life has been very demanding the last couple of years and I have not done much shooting or collecting. I will retire in a year and plan to go through a lot of ammo.
