Just curious, about what percentage of the rifles you sell are A2s v. A4s? I went in today and ordered a mid-length A2 (w/ lightweight chrome barrel and Magpul CTR stock  ) and the shop owner, surprised, said he thought it would be hard to give away an A2 these days.I guess my interest in the A2 is more nostalgic than anything, but anyhow, just wondering.... ? |

Me too. I'm looking for an old fashioned 20 inch A2. It will be used mainly for punching paper and some hunting. I'm not going to be in a vehicle or clearing rooms in an urban enviroment. I just want a little extra reach. Besides if it's over 300 yards that's what the Garand is for.

I can hit at 600 all day long with the good ol' plain jane Govt. 20" A-2. No sight batteries to go dead, rugged as a re-bar so those hard whacks that come up in the field don't phase it. If I had to grab ONE AR for SHTF, that is the ONE that I'd pick, (and I've got a lot of HSLD 16's) Lot of good things about the A-2 still, really is a shame it is now considered "Retro" BIGGER_HAMMER
