I would go with an O-PAP over the M70B1. The Century M70's use US receivers and barrels and lack an optic rail. The N-PAP lacks the RPK receiver and is close to the Iraqi rifles. The Yugo barrels are CHF and should last a bit better than the button-rifled US made barrels, which apparently shoot pretty well anyways. None of them are chrome-lined to my knowledge. Or do what I did and get a kit build, though you probably can't get an original barrel anymore (My kit was $70 with the original barrel after I paid extra for hand-picked for bore condition and trench art) I went through Meridian Ordnance and they've really backed up their work and fixed a few things for me and had excellent turn-around time to boot. Spivey is also good according to Reddit. My actual rifle. The RPR is my current object of lust, $950 at the local gunshop, they can't keep the 6.5 Creedmore models in stock. I'll probably buy an AR lower just to have it, but boy do I want the RPR.

My next pick-up is going to be a Tikka T3 Lite in either of the 300 win mag flavors.  I'll probably end up topping it with a Zeiss.  I'm planning on this being my go-to game rifle when I get to Alaska.

I think I might be the only forummer left that doesn't own a firearm.

Out in sunny southern California there is nothing to shoot at, although I am about an hour from San Bernardino. Apperently they have terrorists there.

Well, I found the Ruger AR 556 for cheap at a Police Equipment/Supply Shop about 30 minutes drive from the house.  Made a trip to the Gunshop where I made a $100 deposit for the same weapon.  I asked for the deposit back and when he asked why, I didn't want to tell him I found it cheaper so as not to offend.  I blamed it on Christmas and that the money would be better suited for my kids and the rifle would have to wait.  Being the local gunsmith, I may need his services at a later date.  He still copped a bit of a 'tude with me and said he won't have a problem selling it when it comes in.  I hate when people do that.  My wife does that.  I can tolerate it from my wife because its a female thing.  But from somebody I don't know?  He started on the quick path to flipping my switch.  Bit my tongue, took my deposit and left.  Instead of $641 + tax with him, I paid $585 + tax at the other place.  Everywhere else I've looked, they're $749 and up.  I think I got a decent deal.

She is a beautiful rifle.  Came with a 30rd Magpul 2nd gen magazine.  I received (2) 3rd gen Magpul magazines in the mail a couple of days ago.  Last week, my order of 500rds of WPA .223 also came in.  So, I'm good to go.  Just have to find a plinking buddy to hit the range with.

I'm stifling the urge to put as much stuff on it as I can like I did my A-5 and Harley.  So far, I have restrained myself to a MOE SL Mag538 Handgrip and MOE SL Mag347 Collapsible Stock.  I will carefully consider optics for another time.  Any suggestions from you guys will be seriously entertained.

I figure you guys would like Demolition Ranch on youtube. He shoots a lot of stuff in entertaining ways for even non shooters and he is a nice guy that is also a vet doing great charity work around the world on his other youtube channel,Vet Ranch.

Replaced the factory handguard and stock with Magpul Slimline Handguard and Carbine stock.  Going to wait after I shoot it before I consider swapping out the pistol grip.

The girlfriend and I took her Ruger AR556 out this Saturday. Shot very well, zero malfunctions. Can't comment on accuracy due to the miserable 30 MPH winds. But I can report her ear to ear smile.
