    pdh already covered that. But I agree with him that going a bit further and rather going for a M&P15 or 6920 gets you a much better rifle for (relatively) not much more.

    IIRC early 20s for the OEM model - I'm fussy about furniture

    EuroOptic Africa can offer a proper milspec Armalite for R19990. Add a Sparc AR or other optic to the package and we can work in a nice discount 😉

    For what either of those cost there are lighter, far more upgrade-friendly AR platforms available that accept ubiquitous accessories out the box. In some cases for less.

    Agreed. This is what I would do. Spend money on a decent quality optic as well. Aimpoint for me, but depends on the need for the rifle.
