Wild Bill, the price is fair, but take a peek at the separate forum here called "Limited Edition Group Purchase," go to "All Forums," & you'll see it. Or you can take a look at it, & order one from [url]www.castle-arms.com[/url].
They're good looking little rifles made by RRAs (Used to be PWA), they're supposed to have a decent reputation, & good customer service if you ever need it. It's a special run with AR15.com's logo, & the serial #s are "AE15.COMxxx" (Grab one now, & you should get a serial # under 2, or 300. The price is pretty good too -- I think they're about $660.00 delivered to your FFL. They ARE flat tops. [img]http://www.castle-arms.com/rifle/rifle.jpg[/img]
Or, like a few have said - if money is a problem, you can order a RRA's receiver from Gunsmoke for $110 stripped, & build it yourself. They can also sell you the COMPLETE assembled lower for $230.00, buttock included. You can have the upper sent directly to your home later, when $ permits.
I've got a few new Olympic CAR-97s for sale too - hardcase, sling, PC mag, warranty, etc.- $599.
