Are these any good? Thought about buying one for a knock around.

I have owned several (still have 3).

They are great little lightweight rifles for the money!

If you can get a good deal, I wouldn't think twice about buying another one!

599 bucks most places and they weigh nothing. Double Eagle on Francis has them in green for 619.

If you shop around, You can get them around $570ish :)

I have shot the hell out of mine with no issues. They come with BUIS, magpul syle (not magpul but similar) grips and a Pmag. the hand guards are skinnier too which I think makes them more comfortable to handle.

All in all, great little rifles for plinking/defense.

Dang that is cheap and they have forward assist with a dust cover. I am buying one for backpacking due to weight.

I have one I bought for a gift but haven't been able to shoot it. It's a decent rifle but does have a cheaper feel to it. But except for the FSB and the plastic screw down delta ring it's pretty solid. I paid $595 IIRC from Precision Combat. Mine has a 1/8" barrel and I think that's why they show a bit better accuracy than some of the other budget ARs. It's a good value for the money.
