As it sits, it's not the style of AR I like to look at, but if it pleases your eye you're only looking at a few more bucks to have an AR up and going.

Something I recently learned is that "mil spec diameter" can often mean the tube has machine cut threads on a mil spec diameter tube. A true mil spec tube has rolled threads and theoretically should be stronger than a "mil spec diameter" or the fatter "commercial spec" tubes because of the depth of the cut to make the threads. The fact they don't mention what material it's made out of tends to mean it's the softer metal as well. This probably doesn't really matter for most guns as you're not clubbing someone over the head with them, but I found the slight quality difference interesting.
