Appreciate the tip. There are many AR shooters here. I slept, ate, breathed M16 for several years several years ago, so they just don't excite me personally. I'm no Cowboy Action shooter either but am thankful for what their demand did for a lot of guns I like. The AR crowd, I think, help in that way too, so more power to the AR innovations.
i too, have had the m16 experience. i was a 12boo with a 51b as a secondary(combat engineer and carpentry/masonry spec) in the army. ar's did excited me, i was going psa ks47 in 7.62x39 instead of a cz 527. my brother recently got a diamondback in 5.56. i tried it and the smell of gunpowder wafting across my face brought me back to the m16 and the shooting range in missouri.
but i'm probably goin to get the cz. the ar version is pretty, but.........
the howa 1500 in 7.62x39 is nice too. but if i purchased it it would go straight to my gunsmith and he would reamed out a 358x39(358 grendel/358ARk....). i know, they are AR cartridges, but i don't care.
