Were there any more of these rifles??

They had a sign up sheet for the next 20 when they ran out.   I got on that list.....   but I'm betting a few guys backed out.    Can't hurt to call them.

Just think if you had panic bought 11 months ago, you too could have paid $3,000.00 for that very same rifle.  ;)


I was one of them ^^^   Thanks for reminding me... :bash: :bash: :bash:

Although I did pick up a Colt LE6920, so I feel a little better about what I paid (but not much).

To the OP - hey, great deal you got there. Now you just need a 6.8mm SPC upper and you can use your AR for Deer and Bear etc... hunting.


Now you're just toying with me.   I just checked the ballistics on a 6.8 SPC..........

 :yeah:
everybody knows the 6.5 Grendel is the golden ticket.
Hey! I'm not a complete idiot I have parts missing. Though sometimes I wonder.

If you want to make God laugh tell him your plans.
