Default New AR-15

Never really wanted one until I find out Obama's going after them. Picked up a varmint version today, ordered 1000 rds, and two 20 rd mags. Ain't gonna let him tell me what I can and can't have.

Can't get the cover thing off the barrel to check, the instructions don't show how this one comes apart. They show the barrel cover splitting, this one is a solid round piece of metal that has to come off different than what the destructions say.

I've never seen the solid forearms. I'll ask around.

Enjoy it. I'd love to have one now.
