AR-15s were designed as lightweight carbines and this one is staying that way. IвЂ™m staying with the KISS principle and will keep the rifle basic and simple. Since they were only $10, I stocked up.ДЄs basic as a police rifle usually is, it can make a great starting point for someone who really wants to customize their AR-15, giving you a blank slate for half the price of a new rifle.
