Got mine about a month ago. They can be had for less than the price stated, but are scarce due to popularity. They lack the chrome barrel, forward assist and dust cover on the ejection port, but are hands down the best bang for the buck.

Sounds good to me. The AR-15 that I used in USAF Basic Training didn’t have no stinkin’ forward assist.
As for the dust cover, at the range I never see them closed anyway.
Sounds like the perfect way to get into 3-gun on a budget, or a much easier way to justify a .223 for plinking. And you can always put a different upper on it if you choose.

Nice price point. Sounds like you can deck it out for $1200. I wished every God fearing Bible clinger would equip themselves with such a tool.

They got rid of the ejection port cover and forward assist because they didn’t think people needed them, but they left the bayonet lug on there?
I’d rather have a forward assist than a bayonet lug. Of course, my AR-15 has both (my ACR has neither).

Nice, but I want to see a picture of the opened lower receiver. Is their a space for a DIAS or do we have to machine it out?

Regardless of make, model, variants, changes, re engineering, and a 100 year-old design... the .45 ACP remains the caliber to carry... for those wanting to stop a perp DEAD in his tracks. That economy AR will kill you just as dead as one wearing a Tuxedo.

No dust cover? (guys have been doing that for years) 1/7 twist? And no forward assist. Makes it a bad choice for self defense.
You can easily put together a great AR for under $500 by shopping and picking the pieces you want.

Question:
What is the best handgun to have for "personal self defense" (in-home and while traveling)?
It has to be concealable (yay, WI!), it has to have "one shot - one kill" stopping power, it has to be completely reliable (no jams), and it can't be overly expensive ($350 to $600 range).
There has got to be one weapon "at the top of the heap" so to speak. What is it?
My thanks....
