Several years ago I looked into the AR pistol.

Was disappointed that every thing seemed to have a buffer tube or required an arm brace which does not say pistol to me.

Then I heard of the Extar 556. Researched it and plopped down the money. Two days later it was at my local FFL. Total of $485.00 with the FFL fee. New Frontier Armory is the only distributor.

So far have approx. 2,000 rds without a hiccup or any type of problem. It is a joy to shoot and very accurate out to 100 yards (have not shot further as yet). Loaded it is less than 5 lbs and can be shot one handed.

Have since added a custom Klashnikov with an 11 inch barrel in 545x39. A little heavy for me but it is a very fine shooter.
