Thoughts and opinions? Looks pretty cool, But haven't found one to handle yet. Anyone have any thoughts?

Looks like just another AR. I'm sure it's a good gun.

Yup looks like another basic carbine. I'm not a fan of the delta ring or that style of handguard/heatshield so I'd pass on it.

I've not owned one yet but probably will sometime. I have handled one. It's a good looking basic style carbine. Like all Springfields it comes with a lifetime warranty (for the gun, not the owner) and that's something that means a lot to me - no one else offers that. Only "problem" for me is (thanks to Hillary) I have half a dozen Colt's so don't need one.

It's your fault you panic bought to try and resell. Not hers.

Yup. Now sell them CHEAP!

I would like to own one to see how it handles. Not married to any of mine. They all have a price.

I think you misread something in my reply there buddy. I never once said I was selling any of those Colts. I may have to one day, but not now and don't plan too. I did sell a 7th (a 6520) but only because I had bought several better Colts. I bought them because I wanted them. I actually had several well before the election. Yes I bought more of them later on when it looked like she would win, but I'm not selling them unless circumstances dictate I need to let something go. BigPig if they do get sold it will be for reasonable prices. I did not overpay for them - well maybe the mint 1978 SP1 first year carbine, that one was pricey (and is not going anywhere). I sold the LE/Military marked 6520 here on this board for the princely sum of $850 which worked for both me and the buyer - hardly gouged anyone on it.
