Could be a decent training tool for someone who has to use an actual duty weapon forgoing the accuracy issues common with retrofits.
I'm not selling or defending, just thought it was kind of neat. I'm all about the gun companies bringing new product, beats sitting on thier hands.

And the price is only $(?)...It's good to have a new product but another plastic M-16 wannabe? I wonder if all the "cool" stuff makes it shoot better than my Marlin 60.

For the $500+ I'd just go find 5-6 Pawn Shop Marlins

Or a 99M1 & a 989M2, and a couple Leupold scopes

Looks good for someone who needs to train with the M16-AR15 system but can't affored to spend money on .223. It would pay for itself after 2000 rds. Plus there's no way the average person could afford to shoot that much .223, so their training time would be very limited. a .22lr platform would fix that issue. That being said, I can't afford it and don't need it, however nice it night be.

Armscor is Phillipines

Best part is, they use Parawood for the stocks...unfortunately, they PAINT it black...BLEAH.

But a little sanding can get that cleaned off
Looks better stained with a good self-sealing stain.
