Brand new, $853 after taxes....did I get ripped off? If so oh well, I finally got one so I'll take the good with the bad!

Good deal!slugger6 said:You most certainly did not get ripped off. That is a nice buy!
That will work, but it will be lots of work. To change the upper the barrel and gas system must be removed. That requires the right tools and a bit of know how. Headspace should also be checked afterwards. One of these two mounts might be a better choice. These are just bolt on type mounts. They are also avail from many vendors at prices a lot less than the arms (which are top quality) from bushy.Tomahawk said:I'm almost positive it has the A1 upper....If I sorta know what I'm talking about.... so does that mean If I want to make it easier for some sort of scope or red dot I should get one of these

Or would that not even work?

Try a Dissipator, you'll love it, the longer handgaurds wont let you grab the front sight on accident and the heavier barrel makes it easier to stay on target. You can get them in A-2 and A-3 configurations. Mine is a post ban so its going to be sent off for a little work, Mil spec front sight, Fluted barrel, and a phantom flash suppressor. The factory break on it is just plain too loud for me.xd4life said:I have been shopping AR and looked at that one. You got it fair to say the least, You will always find it cheaper somwhere else no matter what it is. I am not a big fan of the 11 1/5 barrell, but I pondered buying that rifle for a about a day but for me shotting 2 and 3 gun mathces the barrell would'nt do
Thanks for the info!Kimura said:It is an A2; the A1 didn't have the shell deflector. It's a nice rifle at a good price, by the way
That's what I did with the rear sight but I'm thinking the elevation might be off a little and I can't really grab ahold of that little front sight while puching down that pin.hobocircus said:If you don't have a sight tool, even a bullet tip will get the job done. Push in the pin and slowly turn, step by step. It'll get there.
Nice rifle, have fun, shoot safe.![]()
You push down the plunger and while you're holding it down, you make the "wheel" turn a little until it rests over the plunger. Let it go and click it to the next notch. It's slow, but you'll get zeroed eventually.Tomahawk said:That's what I did with the rear sight but I'm thinking the elevation might be off a little and I can't really grab ahold of that little front sight while puching down that pin.
