I finally decided to go black and purchase my first AR; a Doublestar Star 15 HBAR. First impression is that this piece has a great finish and feel for what I paid for. I should be able to get out to a range this weekend for some real testing...
One question however- I purchased a "Umarex" rear flip sight along with it, since it came sightless (flat top)... The website at Buds Gunshop fails to mention anywhere that this sight is for .22 rimfire rifles only.. All the description says is that it would fit M4/M16 rails. Sort of disappointed, and mislead given the fact that I asked numerous salesmen as well and put a special note on my order about it.. The sight mounts and everything, except in order to get a good picture with the front sight properly filling the hole as it should, I have to mount the rear sight at the very front of the picatinny rail. Is this pointless to use on this thing?
