    Yeah, this....at least...


    I wouldn't carry a High Standard AR if you gave it to me, but, I wouldn't carry an Eotech if you gave me on either....

    If you intend to use that rifle in a home defense role, ditch it, and buy a better quality rifle. If you are simply using it as a range toy, rock on......

    As everyone said, it is not if you enjoy it and know its limitations, and what its use is.

    Many people, including myself for a time, are happy with S&W M&P's whilst many people say they are horrible rifles and you should go buy a Colt or some other brand.

    Have fun with your choice!

    I don't know where the hell you read that, but...

    It was a horrible choice. As I rather clearly stated, I wouldn't carry it if it was free....

    However, I'm simply sick of trying to explain to people why they made a bad choice, when reading for fifteen minutes on this site should give you all the information you need....

    So, like I said in my previous post, if this carbine is simply going to be a range toy (yes, that was sarcasm) then rock on (again, sarcasm.)

    Well sorry, what I meant is that generally most people replying are saying it was not a good choice as in quality, but as you say, as a "range toy" it should be fine. That being said, he should know his gun is just for fun, a "range toy," hence my saying he should know its limitations.

    HSA AR's are crap and I personally am in the same opinion as Delta Sierra. There have been a few threads on here about them. Looking at their specs there is nothing that jumps out and says "buy me".

    If you feel comfortable with it then rock on. If you want a plinker get a S&W M&P15-22.

    I would say, in order to define if it was a bad choice, you would need to define what the choice was about. In the end, you get what you pay for, and it sounds like that is what you got. I rifle that is functioning, but one you may or may not be able to trust your life with. I would say shoot the crap out of it and learn the platform.

    I got it to shoot at the Range and ranch with my wife and the kids. That's it that's all. However I would of done a few things different if I had known about this forum and a ton of reading since. it was an impulsive buy something that I rarely if ever do. I like your advice and appreciate it.
