She is doing more for our gun rights than anyone...She's a true patriot. She deserves a rifle in her name! By the way, many companies, including DPMS & Bushmaster make several uppers with no dust covers or forward assists (if you didn't notice there is no assist either...) But they are becoming quite popular in the shooting world and in Law Enforcement, no need for stuff that bogs you down, and after you fire the 1st round the dust cover opens up anyways. My newest AR in 5.56 has no dust cover or forward assist my other 3 do... Hey “ree”, why is it too bad the recipient is Palin? She is doing more for our gun rights than anyone…She’s a true patriot.

How's the recoil of .50 Beowulf? Cool caliber. Straightwall cartridge, so it'd be easy to reload. Seems a lightweight gun. How’s the recoil of .50 Beowulf? Cool caliber.
