The 50 States of AR-15: Illinois Rifle Build (Manticore Arms, R-Guns, DR Guns, BAT Arms)

Many people are unaware there are many great Illinois base manufacturers.
Some of the larger names include Springfield Armory, Armalite, Rock River
Arms, and more.  The Illinois rifle, includes components from BAT Arms
(Our Sponsoring FFL), DR Guns, Manticore Arms, & R-Guns.  This build was
based around assembling a modern style civilian M4, a rifle that would be
very suitable for defensive use.  I hope you all enjoy the project, and I
thank you for the support.

Here is the #Illinois rifle build of The 50 States of AR-15 project.

Here are the links to the companies who’s products are featured in this video, www.BATArms.com www.DRGunsllc.com www.manticorearms.com www.RGuns.net
