Pokerstar 0 #1 February 1, 2009 Hi all, Does anyone have any experience with a Performance Center variant of the Smith & Wesson AR-15? I saw one today on clearance at Gander Mountain and it looks like it could be set up into something pretty nice! 16 stainless (bead blasted) bull barrel, no flash hider. optical sight ready, full floating option up front, skeletonized stock. I didnt get a chance to check out which trigger is on it, but they usually use the JPs, I think. Throw an ACOG on there, and I would think it would be a great rifle for 3-guns or other tactical matches. Normally $2100 reduced to $1600. Thoughts? I have a S&W AR-15 carbine (with an eotech) that has performed flawlessly, and an Armalite AR-10B, for when you really need to 'Reach out and touch something' Thanks!Fortunately, I'm adhering to a pretty strict, uh, drug, uh, regimen to keep my mind, you know, uh, limber. --- The Dude --- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LouDiamond 1 #2 February 2, 2009 Gander Mountain is notorious for being over priced on their used weapons. However, every now and then they don't know what they have and you can find a deal but that is rare. They like to charge new gun prices for used guns and usually don't budge that much, you're lucky if a Mgr will give you 10% off the tagged price. The gun you are looking at can be had on guns America and other sites for around $1399.00 so unless you have to have it, I'd say shop around some more. A weapon with a bull barrel is better suited for those who want to work on accuracy, usually with a scope and a bipod. I wouldn't recommend it for 3 gun but thats me."It's just skydiving..additional drama is not required" Some people dream about flying, I live my dream SKYMONKEY PUBLISHING Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now I have to hope I eventually get my DPMS SDM-R I ordered in March.Fortunately, I'm adhering to a pretty strict, uh, drug, uh, regimen to keep my mind, you know, uh, limber. --- The Dude --- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
