Been a long wait

What's black, aluminum and plastic, costs as much as a winter beater, and is illegal to own in most of the world?

I'll give you a hint: 'Murica.

Since most of you are aware of what it is, I shall share the full thing

Weighs just under 7 lbs with both optics and a loaded 30 round pmag, can get that to 6-1/4 lbs by removing the magnifier, which isn't really needed for any sort of defensive usage. I'm really liking the monolithic polymer lower and the JP silent captured recoil spring. The 45 degree ambi safety is fantastic, as is the SLT-1 trigger group. My first AR, might be my last if it holds up for the long haul. Been wanting an AR platform rifle for the past 10 years and now I finally have one, very excited to get the red dot zeroed in and get some lead (actually steel lol) down range with it

UPDATE: First range trip, 120 rounds across four Lancer L5AWM mags. Two failures to fire, dud primers. No other malfunctions. Using super cheap Tula steel case .223.

The Holosun red dot was perfectly set from the factory, no adjustment needed for 100 yard zero. I was ringing a medium size steel silhouette at that range pretty consistently.

This is a 25 meter simulated-distance silhouette target that I made 58 hits at. The bottom right target has only 8 shots, the other five have 10 each. I was getting a little impatient and losing some accuracy by that last target with only 8 shots on it, which is why the group opened up. Nonetheless, I'm happy for a first outing with my first AR. The rifle is definitely more capable than I am at the moment.
