Iā€™m shooting this, Iā€™m thinking 9am sat morning. I know its early, but the range is free, and if you donā€™t get in early, then you wonā€™t get on a lane. ![http://www.grantfarmerracing.com/m4close2web.JPG](http://www.grantfarmerracing.com/m4close2web.JPG) ---

Nope, I didnā€™t get enough interest, so I went to wilson conservation club with the family, and popped off some rounds in the ar, shot gun (brought the electric thrower) pistolsā€¦ good time. That gun is a Rock River Arms A-4. Its just a ar-15 style rifle, with a 14.5 in barrel, phantom muzzle brake, 6 position stock, railed forend, and an Aimpoint M3. The barrel legnth, stock, and bayonet lug are not NYS legal, unless your a LEO or member of the military using it in persuit of your job. All in all total its about 2k in gun, not too much, but more than your typical plinker. ---

I seen a AR-15 In the swap sheet that MAY have potential. May put one on layaway at the Gun center though. Gotta see what happens. ---

Just stay away from DPMS, or Panther arms. Rock river, Bushmaster, some Coltā€™s, LMT and Stag arms are good. My preference is Rock River, a little more than bushmaster, but mine fires flawless. I am off this week, If your interested in going out to fire a few shots to see if you like the short, or longer legnth we could do that. Happy hunting ---
