Colt won't allow dealers to sell no-ban ar15's to commoners.

Armalite, Bushmaster & rock river all make highly regarded ar15's. It would be hard to go wrong with one from either of those three companies.

Thanks. I've been hearing lots of good things about the Rock River line.

Why is Colt being such a dip now that the Clinton Gun Ban is gone?

When the United States Military starts buying the new M-8 rifle from Heckler and Koch around 2005 they are really going to need some more revenue.

Search is over. Went to the gun show today, not a Rock River in sight and few Bushys. There were Olys out the wazoo and some overpriced Colts and Armalites.

I found a Bushy I like at a gun show dealer I've used before, but his price seemed high. I called a local shop I like and they had one just like it on the shelf for $50 less.

I ended up with a Bushmaster XM-15 'noban' M4 type carbine with 16" barrel. Had the collapsable stock, bayonet lug, flat top, etc. Didn't have the railed handguard, but I may add that later.

I did find some bargains at the gunshow, found a Aimpoint with mount for $350, 500 rounds of 55gr FMJ for 89 and some other goodies.

Took the whole deal down to our local range and had it sighted in no time at all.

Tomorrow it debuts at our local 3 gun match.

Thanks for the help, wish me luck!
