I was at a friends house not long after I bought my AR and he asked if I had magazines. I had a few, so he proceeded to pull out a duffle bag and set it on my lap and told me to help myself. The duffle was full of surplus magazines. I took a bunch. Didn't feel too bad since the duffle had 30 or 40 and he had another full duffle right next to it. He's been collecting them for years.

Looks like a fighting gun, I like that. No crap on it, just point it and shoot. Caleb, you keep that up and we will need a weekend with bttbbob.

Nice looking rifle. Assuming it's semi auto only? Or did you already have the parts to make her run and register it?

Nifty! I tend to go through phases of interest and right now I'm all about black rifles. Enjoy the old school cool!

UPDATE: Range Report
 
Took the a1 to the range last Saturday for some fun. The rifle ran great, I did have two or three failures to extract tho. I believe it was due to lack of oil on the bcg. I threw some oil on that sucker and it ran flawless after that, around 130rds of Federal 55gr fmj. As far as accuracy, it's very acceptable. I was ringing a torso sized steel plate at 200yds with irons consistently. In fact, it kinda got boring....lol. So, we turned our attention to the tanerite bottles. First shot, too high. Second shot, too low. Third shot, BOOM. After I figured out my hold, those bottles had no chance, BOOM BOOM BOOM! Now, I did not take my camera but, shot a couple of pics with my phone. Check them out.

Ignore the targets, I was shooting past them at the 200yd steel torso.

The sights were almost dead on for 50/200yd zero. Just had to move the rear sight one click right.

All in all, it's a great rifle. Thanks again Alton.
