got to hold one of Baer's new AR15s today-the fit and finish was up to par with his 45 Auto pistols. an example was the upper and lower fit--it was as tight as my colt which has a JP Tensioning pin. The upper and lower felt like one piece of metal with no movement whatsoever. i do not know what the model i saw is called but it came with a Jewell Trigger and was adjusted to somewhere between 2 and three pounds. my guess is closer to 2 pounds. it had a full length stainless bull barrel which was crowned. in lieu of standard forearms this rifle was fitted with an accessory rail on 4 sides of the barrel and a versa pod on the bottom rail. the top rail matted to the flat top like it was one piece. the rail system appears to be of Baer manufacture and is of premier quality. the shop was asking $2,000.00 for this rifle. the shop i was in is always a little high but they always seem to have the good stuff but in the case of this rifle my guess is you get what you pay for.....Dick
