New guy looking for some info. I just purchased this AR from a guy that I work with. I think that I made a hell of a deal. Lets see what you guys think. It is a flat top with a 20" heavy barrel, carry handle, scope mount. The lower has the bushy emblem with Mod XM15-E2S. The barrel marks are B MP 5.56 NATO H-BAR. Chamber ,barrel and overall looks new. Will try and post pics. Any info will be very helpful. I picked it up for 500.00 with 6 mags. 1 more ? I have a Springfield 4-14x56 3rd Generation Government Model, Illum, Bullet drop comp Range finder that I am thinking of mounting on this rifle. Thinking of trying my hand at Med Range shooting. How well will this scope perform on this type of set-up? Thanks Bill |

I bought the same rifle you did. And just the rifle was $850.00 brand new, and I think I got a pretty good deal. Its a good rifle. Have fun and be safe, make sure to post some pics. Edited To Add: As far as the scope goes. Most of Springfield optics, all but one ar two, are made for 7.62mm which means the drop compensator will be off unless you have on of the 5.56mm Springfield Scopes. |
| Excellent deal on an excellent rifle, congratulations. However the blued mags with no markings sound like they may be a problem for you. That description fits the dreaded el-cheapo type of mag that has caused more problems with feed and function in the AR than all other mag types combined. Your bud may have sold you the rifle because he was having problems with it. If he did, the joke is on him. Get yourself some USGI mags, fill them with quality ammo and have a ball with your fine new shootin iron! Shoot safe. |
