    Hoppe's Number Nine is your best friend. Clean her up and see how she shoots.

    You could probably part the gun out if it not a shooter, and get your money back plus a little more.

    "Pre-ban?"

    See, there was this ban on "assault weapons" in 1994. Complete rifles assembled before the ban date are commonly refered to as "pre-ban" guns. Not that it means much to us in Texas, but there are states that adhered to these restrictions after the sunset of the Federal law... and this rifle would be worth more to them. Personally, I would sell the lower (or whole rifle) for a profit to someone in a ban state and get a forged lower receiver.

    Well I got it all cleaned up it chambers and functions with out firing just fine. Looked down the barrel and there is a little pitting right around the gas block doesn't look deep at all. Thursday or Friday I'll take it down the road to the range and put a few rounds through it.
