I qualified expert with the carbine after basic. I've wondered if anyone else ever qualified on a "thousand inch" range. Seems to be a strange way to describe distance, 27.77 yards. Even a mediocre shooter could drive tacks at that distance.
Well, one if an off the self Colt that I got for a steal. The rest are frakinrifles. But I invested a lot of money in terms of extra gear like optics and stocks. Those are just four of my ARs pictured. I have another three.
