Ordered the viper handguard, stock and butt pad from Strike Industries. I'll be picking up the AR tomorrow.

Why would they even sell or release a gun like that to the public? What an absolutely horrendous design. I have never seen such a difficult break down procedure.

Don't they test every aspect of a firearm before going into full production?

Now I know which brand I'll be avoiding in the future.

I wouldn't avoid Remington, but I sure would stay away from that pistol... It is strange a large MFG like Rem would let that out the door though.

In their defense, you do need a paperclip to strip a compact 1911 like Kimber, but I rarely see the need to pull the barrel etc. from the slide.

That was a bit overly dramatic. I know they make good shotguns and I could see myself with one of those.

I only own two firearms so I'm not an expert in any way shape or form. But, I love how my AR and Beretta M9 are so easy to breakdown, clean, and re-assemble.

That pistol looks like an absolute nightmare - I might not even be strong enough to do it! That reviewer looked pretty strong and he was struggling.

here it is folks! A brand new Adams Arms AR15 dressed up with Strike Industries Viper handguard and stock with a Vortex sight. I really like the Strike Industries stuff better than the Magpul. No dissrespect to those who prefer Magpul.

Is the foregrip metal or polymer? And how much did that set you back?

The foregrip as well as the stock is polymer. I paid just over $100 for the foregrip, stock and a butt pad. I know there are way betters sets but i liked this set. Plus the price was nice too.

I like that, looks like M-LOK cuts in the handguard. And that Vortex..... I'm a big fan.
