Don't have it on hand but got a chance to shoot it at the range.  Seems to shoot as accurate with irons as any other AR I have tried.  Does not look cheap, in any way, the lower engraving could have been slightly more imaginative. A buddy of mine from work received it from his brother for a Christmas gift. It is his first AR so he's happy with tit.

Right now just looking for input on a couple issues.

First when charging the weapon it gets very stiff with a light scraping sound coming from the buffer tube.  You have to make an effort to pull the charging handle all the way back, and 1 out of 5 times it will not lock the bolt back on an empty magazine, but I think this may be due to the buffer tube/charging handle issue.

Second the weapon cannot be placed on safe when the bolt is locked to the rear and no magazine inserted. After the bolt is released forward the selector can be moved to safe.

I will get pics and a chance to handle the rifle again in a few days.

Any thoughts?
