Yes folks, I will be going over to the 'dark side'.
I've heard enough of the us v. them debate, and after shooting my friends 556 about 5 times (the only times that it has been shot) I honestly can't find a downside to it other than I had wished it was more of a 550/551. The big motivator is how much I'll be buying it for and I can't pass that up. It's low enough that even when I get a UBR it will still cost less than most of the cheapest 556's out there and the Sampson front sight comes with it. The rear ARMS was mine anyways. Doesn't really have too many rounds through it, most of it was my ammo since he didn't have a lot of money to buy ammo, barely for the rifle. I've practically co-owned the thing come to think about it. My rear sight, mostly my ammo, and mags. Unfortunately my pal is moving to CA and he needs the money. I told him ge should sell it for more to someone else but he insisted and he put the price saying that he knew I'd take care of it well. Kinda feel bad for him b/c the cunt of an ex-wife decided to remarry some idiot in the AF after only a month and moved to Edwards AFB taking the kids.
Back to the 556. Well I'm getting it and now and adding it to my collection. I've heard 'some' of the herd and others bash on the 556. I was no exception but I always held my reservations about it saying 'until I got to shoot one'. Then i did. I've always like the AK reliability. I've only handles an SG550 and they do look great. But as operation goes I thought the 556 shot smooth, its accurate, and reliable. What I didn't like was no sights, M4 stock, HG, and it was over priced for what it offered. Since then alot has come out and with more to follow. Anyways I still ned to go clear accross the state to pick it up so it won' be until Friday when I get it.
Anyone knows who sells UBR stocks at a good price?
