LUVALL: I have to say that I really like the gun. It is accurate, has had zero firing issues, and it includes a lot of extras. The carrier tilt/buffer tube wear is a concern, however, replacing a buffer tube every now and then isn't really a big deal. Also, there appears to be other solutions to arrest the wear, if you want to invest in those accessories. I am very impressed with Ruger's customer service thus far. (I know that there are lots of Bill Ruger haters out there, but he is long gone).
