Oh- well, if Clint Smith said...

I let myself be convinced that I "needed" an AR for my urban defense needs. A year and a half later, I got the M1 Carbine I'd always wanted, and am selling the AR. The M1 Carbine is the "package" the AR should have been, and I prefer the .30 Carbine round to the .223. Not to mention, I paid less than half for a brand new IAI M1 Carb than I did for a used Colt AR15A2!
