Another of our weird regs concerns AR-15s. If you buy one fully
assembled, it has to be one of only a couple of HBAR models. You can,

I guess I just never had the "black gun" thing.
I like wood and full power 30 cal if I am buying a center fire rifle.

I wonder what Harry's need for or attraction to military weaponry is?
Back in the sixties when Uncle Sam would have appreciated him picking up
