AR15

Post by millman »

Thought I would join the fun. I built this one as I collected parts. It has an FN barrel, I think an Olympic arms upper, and everything else DPMS.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Good advice. If you are not in a hurry, you can build one relatively cheaply, as you find deals on parts.

M7, nice. I've got one that I use as sort of a general purpose knife when I camping, since someone decided it would be a good idea to weld the back of it shut :very mad:

Check with Dolk but as I understand it you can 'de-California' one rather easily.
Damn, I'll bet that's going to leave a mark! Probably hurt too!
