I'll try to post a pic here but it's your pretty standard AR15. Kicking it old school with the A2 handle but with a collapsible stock. All told, it cost me $700, not including magazines, which I still need to purchase (kinda important ). That's a lot of scratch saved for not much work. I can't wait to sight it in and shoot some shit!
Welcome to a better world.

A2 Carry Handle AND A2 stock, then you can say you are kicking it old school.

Some good deals on mags at 44mag.com, for alum GI-type. Some people prefer the polymer pmags. Split the difference and get both.

Razor blade makes front pivot pin easy. I had a spring go flying a couple of times, but l was smart enough to do it over wood floor.
