rooikat,
So, I just popped over ther and looked at the BA. I don't know if I like that tac handle. I love the rope micarta on my AK..
I don't think I like that TAC handle either.
From pics alone i think i prefer previous gen BA-3 & BA-E.
But when i saw the $227 price.. i pulled the trigger!
you know.. I bought my Swamp HRLM as a consolation for not getting in 1st SS4 Offer..
I didn't think i'd like that HRLM.. but i've come to Really LIKE it now!
