[QUOTE="tulsacrittergetter, post: 2962211, member: 41264"] Remember that car in high school that you always wanted, and then when you grow up, instead of buying a new car like your other grown-up friends, you go and find your high school dream car and buy it? (okay, some people do this)....this rifle is like that car for me. I always wanted to build a red and black "show" setup like this, and so I did. I understand that some people may not like it, but it definitely turns a lot of heads at the range, and as a result, I've been able to help 3 people (I met at the range) build custom AR-15's in the last month.
