You ask me, you got it. If it works, tell people it had medicine. Hope you like it. Or you can shoot irons like us ax wielding maniacs...Haha.
Dude, ARs are Barbie Dolls for men. Get whatever you want and dress it to suit your training and purpose. They are all pretty much the same, get a basic lower package and BCG for a 3 or 4 hundred and buy you a couple of different uppers. The beauty of that system is tweaking what you got into what suits you.
...........are you a Viking, Ax? Because if you are, I want to join! Let's go raiding and get us some gold and wenches and lots of other good stuff. I hear California has lots. - Rick PS. Gosh I love that series....
Actually, I'm I living historian with an interest in Dark Age cultures. Been working on a TTRPG with Norse overtones for a while. Extremely cool and fascinating people. You know what they say about Norse women? They are all so pretty because the Vikings would not take home the ugly ones!
