There are criminals among us who are both homicidal and incorrigible. Their parents took a shot at civilizing them and failed. Their school teachers took a shot at them and failed. The odds are overwhelming that government welfare programs and penal institutions took a shot at them and failed. If it ever becomes your turn to take a shot at them, don’t fail.

I remember seeing a few of these in the late 80's I guess it was. Spend the money for the M16 Mag adapter :). Thought they looked about as cool as the AR180. Something different but was wary of the parts issue.

I remember Rays had a couple (on Preston Hgwy) in the 80's.
Very well made but if memory serves correct, you cant shoot 5.56 through them.

Correct only .223. Miss that place although I was only a young kid. My father still talks to the owner on occasion.

It was right across from where Roosters is now before he moved to Kiln Ct and started the range there. It's some sort of car accessory place now.

Edit: he purchased from Rays and also the owner of another store down Preston that use to be across from Labor World is the guy he still talks to.
