RE: Just got A3 carbine
Oh my gosh. your kidding? Those suckers are well over 300 dollars. Looks nice, but I will have to wait. Just bought a nikon monarch for a varmit rig.
Next time we meet, you ought to bring it and let me look thru it.

I'm sure I'll be up the BBQ, wherever it may be, and I'll be around a lot more in the future if all goes well. I can hear Hap Bakercalling my name. Enjoy the AR!

Good purchase there bigcountry!
I also put an EOTech on my AR15 a few months back when I finally got my new one. It works great as long as magnification isn't needed. I've shot alot of coyotes and a few jackrabbits out at 200 yards. I'm not sure the EoTech would be much more effective past 200 yards on varmint sized critters. On their website they claim it to be a 300m effective sight on man-sized targets, which I don't doubt one bit.

I'm fixing to order my AR from CMMG and wish I could afford a eotech but I'll get by with flipup rear and put a KNS crosshair on the front till better times.I'm spending enough with other little extras for wear and tear,so iron will do ok to start.Mine will be for yotes while driving the pasture anywho.

I'd suggest buying the Rock River NM trigger group and installing it. It runs about 100 dollars. Thats the trigger I have had in both my ARs and its a sweet trigger.
If you don't want to go that route, I can't help ya out as I've never had to have a trigger job done on an AR cuz of the above trigger.

But I havn't been this giddy to get a gun in along time. Bad news by the time I get cleared next week, I will be in Omaha or Chicago. So I won't be able to shoot it for a while until I get back
