Not a bad idea. For some reason, I was prioritizing quantity over quality.

Also i see your shopping at rdsc, if your localish to the stony plain area, check us out. (We carry all the same things that you have on here. We've got a handful of mk-15 spots left as well.) Edit: also as with most things buy once cry once is best :)

Do you guys charge full price for a spot on the makasi? Or what is the retaining fee?

"Buy once, cry once" is a much better mantra when it comes to controlled explosions next to your head.

This is very common when first entering the market. Go slow, see what you like, and quality over quantity.

Can't agree with this regarding the Operator. I've been around firearms close to 40 years, and my Operator has been flawless. Everyone I've ever met who have shot or own has nothing but praise for them and their capabilities. I've fired garbage rounds and this gun eats them at the range while running drills. Save yourself thousands and buy one. Best advice, always check numerous reviews. Where a gun is made doesn't dictate its capabilities. My Retay Masai Mara floors the boys who own shotguns in the tens of thousands.
