If you’re new to the series, this is where we look at the most obscure firearms that are actually for sale and ask the question – is this Gat a sweet deal or only have Fudd appeal?  Each week the TFB staff weighs in with their thoughts, but readers get the final say in the poll at the bottom of each article.

    In our last edition, our poll showed that you, the readers, decided the custom 6.5 Grendel Seekins was nothing more than fudd crap.

    For those who know this series, this is usually the part where I try to go over these guns and explain something about them.  I look for nice things to say so that you can tear things up in the comment section. Well, this week we’re turning that ship around because everything from the camo choice to the price tag on this rifle is grotesque.  And yes, I know this camo was in the running when the military was picking out a new camouflage.  How a camo that looks like a distorted snake skin shed ever was considered is beyond me.  The good news is you get a red dot and a gun that looks like you unlocked it playing the original Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.  The bad news is, it’s gonna cost you $4,750.  That’s a pretty expensive way to try to level up.

    What do you think?  Is this Five Toes Custom AR-15 worth anywhere near $4,750 or are you better off saving your money for a rainy day?  As always, I leave it up to you, the readers, to decide.
