The AR is the American Rifle and we have proof. Before the M-16 and the M-4 there was the Colt AR-15 SP1 Sporter. That rifle was specifically designed and marketed to the American citizen, not the military. To say otherwise is to support a lie. Now is the time to sharpen your sword. How did Professor Paul sharpening his sword lead to today’s Duracoat Finished Firearm topic? Well, we will tell you. Here’s a hint, it is not a gun. What goes on behind the scenes? What kind of dreams has Paul been having? Tune in, you really never know what you will get. Thanks for being a part of SOTG! We hope you find value in the message we share.
