i bought my first modern sporting rifle off of jack in 2011. i didn't want to spend a ton of money in case this wasn't for me so i picked up a stag 15 model 3 for $699. as of now, the only thing original in it is the lower. i must have at least $1100 into it now. i cursed you out, jack, every time i took it out of the safe, for pushing me off that ar slippery slope, lol. and you were the one who, along with the kid from work, kept pushing me to build my own and just buy a few stripped lowers to give it a go. hindsight is 20/20, glad i listened now. i got a tear in my eye now. so long, jack.
