My dad (out of the blue) decided that he wanted an AR. I was very excited indeed...and after i settled down, i showed him some basic configurations, and he decided on an m4 style carbine.
Aside from that, he more or less gave me liscence to buld it, assuming i dont go crazy with the money.
So im gonna build him a nice 14.5 (pin/weld phantom) with tele-stock. I got an EO and a DPMS flipsight for the top. Im actually really impressed with the EO/DPMS mangonel combo...that flipsight is VERY quick to deploy, and just as quick to fold up. slick little design.
