    I have one I picked up new in '06. It has been excellent for approx 5,000 rounds. I leave it at the ranch and enjoy it when I'm there. Zero performance issues.

    First question I have, is why? What are you looking to do with it? Why this over say something else? You want insights? Honest, I will tell you knowing the grand majority myself included, unless you can give good reason otherwise, you are going to be told to buy something else, like a Colt, BCM, DD. Grant's got a sale on BCM blem lowers, BCM has a sale on blem uppers, combine two with BCM BCG and charging handle and you have a rifle that will run for years. My personal experience with Armalite AR15s has been somewhat lackluster, have handled and shot a few, general opinion was I would rank it about where I rank my Bushmaster, it went bang, but nothing to write home about, and my BCM is a fair superior rifle when comparing them side by side.

    Our agency purchased 300 of them, but they have not seen enough use to say one way or another how well they will hold up.

    What is your budget? What is the price of the Armalite you are considering purchasing?

    How many rounds per year do you expect to shoot? Will it see rough use or range plinking use?

    I'm seeing these on Gunbroker in the $840-$900 range without a rear sight. I'd spend the extra money and get either a Colt 6920 or 6720.

    My agency bought 50, M15A2 20" back in 2004/5. Had to send 7-8 back for warranty because to ZERO the rifle, the rear sight was turned all the way to the right on those.

    They ordered the Armalite NM triggers. The more you shot them the heavier the 2nd stage was...
    Let it sit for a while and it would lighten up. Had no clue as to why....That got fixed also.

    They shot good with AE223, 55gr FMJBT and iron sights. All were 1:9 twist

    If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong.

    The last thing I want to do is hurt you,
    but it's still on my list.
