My two cents is dont buy anything from Les Baer. I have had some dealings with them, and almost bought an AR from them, but to make a long story short, they dont give a rats ass about you as a customer. Other than my personal experience, I have heard bad things from other people, and my local dealer droped them as a vendor because their service sucked. basically, they refused to repair brand new guns that had problems. He described their AR's as 'jam-o-matics'. It was his opinion that Les Baer was a great company untill Les Baer Junior took it over. Once that happened, it went to shit. Not to mention their prices are rediculously high. Anyway, im sure there are others who have had decent experiences with them, but personally i have chosen not to do business with them for these reasons. I think most would agree, go with a Bushmaster, Colt, or Armalite. Or maybe DPMS or Rock River...
