I still remember when there were only two choices for civilian AR's.
And the Windham bushmasters
The saddest part of all was that when the ban ended (within a few days....) i just HAD to have me one of them there fancy AR like all 18-20 year olds at that time did. I actually held a real AUG with the factory scope that day that was nearly the same price as a Colt AR. Around 1200-1400. There was no colt or bushmaster in stock so I passed up the AUG and jumped to the real prize... I bought the Olympic. Paid right around a grand too. Lol. Very accurate rifle no chrome bore helped that I'm sure. 1/12 or 1/14 Twist rate too ... it outshoots many bolt action with 40- 55 grain v-max. but terrible build quality. I still have it to remind me that the AR is cool looking but not something I'm crazy about....and because I'd lose like 800 bucks on it....and I could have had a nice AUG... at that time I drove a 500 dollar Mustang with 300k miles on it. A fool and his money....
A-HOLE gun store guys told me it was Mil-spec. Lol.
I have had others. a DD and a Colt that went Thousands of rounds with no trouble except for some crappy mags. Neither would hit MOA (or even 2) under perfect lab conditions with any weight bullet with Martin Riggs behind them. Not even the real Martin Riggs. Not the one from the show but the real one from the movie. And an Anderson or two that I bought for under 350 a few years back. They ran a couple mags. Enough to remind me I don't care anything about the AR. Gave both away to family. I shot them in the general direction of a box. They seemed to hit said box.
