He's probably got $900 into it all and his rig is just fine with him at this point.
If only we bought 1 'bad' AR before finding 'the way' and getting good ones... We all have dated that one chick that makes us cringe and I have an Oly Arms AR as my first kit rifle... Maybe some of us were born with a Colt in our gun safe, the rest of us had to learn.
