Oh, btw, did you know that there are now some Colt AR-15s that are C&R eligible?

I guess the AR isn’t so modern after all...

INTERESTING.

FYI, I am NOT a particular “fan of” The Mattel Special.= When I was first on AD & in an OCONUS area, long ago, our unit still had a FEW NM-grade Garand rifles (supposedly for the use of “Selected Marksmen”) in the arms room & as I was “in charge of” such things, I issued myself an “as new” circa 1956 I-H Garand.

When the US Army DEMANDED that those “obsolete weapons be turned in to the depot” (The Garand Rifles were replaced with Remington Model 700 rifles in .308WCF), I gave up my old rifle “kicking & screaming” & then “issued myself” a Ithaca Model 37 Featherweight riot-gun.
(Note: ImVho, the BEST Garand rifles ever made are the post-Korean War rifles made by H&R & I-H.)

Btw, I’ve “heard”, but CANNOT CONFIRM, that there are a FEW AR-18 rifles that are C&R. = I might buy one of those IF it wasn’t priced really, really, high & had the folding stock.

Yours, TMN78247
