I've never seen *new* Armalites discounted below Armalite's MSRP (which can be found on their website [url]www.armalite.com[/url]).  I have seen guys at shows try to 'hook' you with deeply discounted Armalites but, upon inspection, they are Eagle Arms versions and are still being sold for Armalite's MSRP.  Of course, if you point that out to them they get really pissed and tell you to leave before you save someone who doesn't know from being taken.  That makes me so damn angry...[pissed]

And no, they don't come with a handguard rail.  Just the flat top and gas block rails.

You may find a deal if you look around.....get a a2 if you find one at a good price.....you WILL NOT regret it........[:)]

Stick with armalite......that`s what I`m saying....others are good.....a/r`s are best...[:)].....find yourself a ffl.....factory discount is 200.....other deals are closeout, group buys etc......I was lucky.......

opposite end of the state.....between fredonia and jamestown........[:)]
