If you really feel the need to sell it Rick, PLEASE send me a PM and I'll come up and get it!
As soon as Oly gets the magazines prices down on this UMAR, I'll be buying (at least) one. Both my DTech uppers will benefit from the longer 22-250 mags. Then I'll be able to seat that 123gr. Amax bullet out there where it belongs.
Personal experience; I had an Oly AR back in the '80's that was not a good rifle. I know there are some folks who just can't let the "cast" upper/lower thing die, but that's their choice. A friend of my Dad's still thinks, "Them Toyota trucks are pieces of (edit)"! He still says that, every time the subject comes up, because the first boatload of them that came to Portland were mostly hauled to Shnitzer Steel and sold for scrap because they couldn't get them to run long enough to get them off the ship. He's one of those folks that go off his first impressions... forever. I'm sorry for those who are haters, but they are entitled to their own opinion. I'm very happy with my Toyota truck, and very happy with the Oly rifles I currently own. They work both work well for me.
In addition, my Dad still believes the M-16/AR-15 is by far the worst rifle ever invented due to the problems he personally encountered with them in the early to mid '60's. I'll never be able to change his mind on that one either. He's never gone into detail, but has said that a lot of good men died needlessly due to the shortcomings and malfunctions with that first model M-16. He doesn't own any Colt products due to that. Once again, I respect that opinion, but I also believe that Colt has worked out the bugs since then.
Looking forward to hearing how this works out for you. I'll probably still order one regardless, but I'll still watch this thread.
Thanks for the info, good luck, and good shooting to you!
