AD500 223

[u/HappyCan7250]

Picked this up last week, just arrived the other day. Got it on sale for a good price new. Collapsing stock models were sold out, but I actually kind of dig the fixed stock on it. It can be slightly adjusted for LOP too with a spacer. Now my second 223 semi, and soon to be 3rd when the Mk15 shows up. I never got to experience the pre-trudeau times sadly, but man, semi auto 223s are a ton of fun!

Haven't shot it yet, but hoping to today. Action is a bit rough, but overall the rifle seems fairly well made, and the AR mag compatibility is a big bonus. It is currently the cheapest semi auto 223 on the market as I paid just under $1k all in.

The trigger is actually surprisingly not bad too, definitely much lighter than mil spec, and lighter than your typical Turkish shotgun. Mounted a spare Vortex Triumph I had lying around onto it. Like I said before, I actually kinda really like the look of the rifle. (Safety is on, mag is empty, just put the mag in for the photo).

My dog substituted her foot into the photo for me. Wasn't even intentional, she just hopped up on the bed while I was trying to take the photo.

And by the way, Mk15 should be arriving any day, the shop im dealing with just told me August 15th they're expecting them, which would be today.

I figure even with the Mk15 Ill hang onto this guy if it runs reliably.
