Witness here a good friend of mine: He wanted a basic carbine for plinking and busting jacks. The day comes for him to bite the bullet and throw down some cash. I had previous conversations with him about quality AR's and what not to buy.
Apparently none of those suggestions got through his thick skull as he showed up on a Saturday to show off his new toy and much to my concern uncased a brand new DPMS. My concern quickly turned to horror when he told me how much he spent- $1,300! Naturally, being a good friend I kept My mouth shut and told him how nice it was.
Now came the trouble. He purchased a VFG and promptly found out it didn't fit on the 4 rail hand guard that came with the rifle. He consulted me and I told him what the problem was (not even close to 1913)
Anther $250 for a mid-length from Midwest Ind. and half a day of wrestling with, then finally cutting-off of the YHM barrel and jam nut that were glued on with half a bottle of blue locktite!solved that. I did not charge him for my time. $1,550 is one spicy meatball! Imagine the sweetheart he could have picked up with that
