FYI I too am retired, but my wife tells me I am just tired.
Armalite has been around a long time, albeit some issues, but then they all have. Most of the AR companies out there were not in business a few years ago and in the AR 15 world, if you have a garage or can rent a storage unit you can go into the AR business. Only the ones that can afford it even make ANY of their parts.
That said the scary thing is your link to personalchoice. Cannot get their website to pull up and I am on a fiber optic connection, been trying this afternoon. OK, maybe down for admin work, but on a Sat afternoon, not if you work for me in IT, you come in to the data center or office at 0200 hrs MONDAY and you have till 0600 to do what needs be done.
But MOST frightening is the fact they have debited your CC, when a company does that for for unshipped goods you should beware of them. They are either operating on a slim budget and lack the money to buy the product you have ordered, thus have to use you to do so. CAUTION, INVESTIGATE before you give them a dime...
My first search for them provided this:

When I do a check on them with GoDaddy I get this:

NOTE the Domains By Proxy. This means they did not go direct to GoDaddy by are hiding behind Domains by proxy...WHY?

What this tells me is that GoDaddy is hosting the Domain NAME, but not hosting the website, while not rare, in fact I have done, but I never hosted my sites outside the US.
I think I would see if I could get my money back...but that is just me, you make your own call...
I know where Buckeye, AZ is, been thru there MANY, MANY times (I lived in Scottsdale). Buckeye is a wide spot in the road, a low rent area!

-agree: The ArmaLite is or would be the choice for me, being a owner the quality surpasses none and should hold it's value if not increase! and being a collector of fine weapons, you will not be disappointed in your decision with the SASS or I will buy it from you if you are. The government is the only decider in the major factor in the price according to my dealer depending on what type of bill or if any pass :pray: prices on mags, ammo and such my go back down, but I don't think we will see any decrease in the price of guns from current levels, my opinion! George do you have a bayonet for your 03? I have been looking for one for my Remington 03A3 and welcome to the group :usa:
