Picked up my first AR-type rifle today from the local FFL.
Can't wait to shoot it; maybe this weekend if time and weather permit. It's been raining like crazy here.
A couple of questions:
1. I wasn't sure what stock would come on the rifle, mostly expecting the Rogers SS. Instead, I think I have the USGI stock. 3 positions. Did Colt stop using the Rogers SS? I like the factory stock just fine, whatever it is.
2. In the safety and instruction manual, there is a scary warning in orange about the risk of accidental discharge when a round is fed into the chamber (slamfire?), the gun is dropped or the muzzle receives a blow, regardless of hammer position or safety devices. Is this lawyer speak or a risk beyond other firearms? I don't recall similar warnings in other firearm manuals, but my memory is not the best.
Please take all with a dose of vitamin noob. I'm no beginner with firearms, but this is my first AR.
