I assume it is the same reason why you wanted the Hbar AR (besides sliding through the Md loophole in the law) They were a selected for better accuracy than the standard infantry version. |

Maybe some people just like to gripe and look at the worst in everything. That's certainly true. I wanted a Kimber 1911 and, at the time, was advised to not purchase one (by a trusted shop) and I found reviews supporting that. It was 8-10 years ago so that this what lead to my question to John. |
