We really don't want to part with this one, but hard times call for hard measures.

My wife's a pretty fine rifle shot, and this rifle was built for her by a Sheriff's Dept. armorer. He built it from the ground up to be a 200-300 meter tackdriver in the hands of a capable marksman.

Starting on a Vulcan lower with a flat-top upper, the rifle is TIGHT...no rattles. Standard stock, 20" match-grade barrel, UTG quad-rail forearm. Harris bipod. Chambered for the higher pressure 5.56NATO rounds.

This is NOT a lightweight battle carbine you'll want to carry around on a sling. Dry weight is 12.3 pounds. That weight combined with the Bushmaster-Y compensator makes recoil almost non-existent. If the crosshairs move off target, you moved the rifle, it's that simple.

The match-grade McCormick trigger group breaks crisp and clean at 3.5 pounds with no creep and zero overtravel. The oversized charging handle means the Leapers 3x9 illuminated red/green reticle rubber-armored scope won't get in the way.

Never fired with anything but new factory ammo, no Wolf, no lacquered steel casing junk, mostly S&B, Lake City and Remington loads. Approximately 500 rounds through it with never a malfunction. The little brass presentation plaque on the side will come off and clean up easily enough with a little solvent.

At least three magazines also included, maybe more, have to see how many I have left. I'll also throw in a UTG rail-mountable foregrip with battery compartment and pressure switch housing that's never been installed.

NO TRADES -- NO SHIPPING -- FTF in Fort Worth Only! -- TDL or CHL and bill of sale required.

$750 cash. You could not build a comparable AR for the same price.

Too bad car repair bills have eaten me alive in the last few weeks. I would love this.

Slight edit to correct trigger manufacturer. The match-grade trigger assembly came from McCormick, not Timney. Sorry 'bout that.

Here's a short video of the rifle in action:

Note that what little recoil exists is all straight-back with little or no muzzle movement. The target was a 1/4 scale steel pig (about the size of a football) at 300 meters. My wife said she needed a smaller target, that was way too easy to hit.

After stringing me along all weekend, buyer backed out. Price reduced, AGAIN, critical need, MUST SELL this rifle as much as I'd like to keep it.

Should try it from my end. REALLY don't want to part with this, especially at this price, but we have a critical financial need here.

C'mon guys. Stop selling all this really cool stuff until I've had a chance to build up my gun buying stash. I only started it with $100 last week.
