My father gave me a AR15 .22 knock-off. It also was made in the Philippines.
Mine is really fun to shoot and cheap. It is amazingly accurate.
Hope you get to own and shoot your gun in NJ.
I think that's the same company....I have an old Savage 22 from the 1940's with a weaver scope that I use for plinking, but I thought something like this would be fun.
