This is what I've gleaned from this thread so far,
1. Buy your 100% carbine from a reputable trustworthy dealer
2. Be cautious when dealing with eBay carbine parts sellers
3. Buy nothing from tagmil on eBay or elsewhere
4. Use said carbine to shoot feral hogs on the Canadianplains, Navada or Arkansas. Am I up to speed so far?
I'm kidding of course but as a carbine noob I truly appreciate the spirit and purpose of this thread, thanks.
