Why is this so expensive? Looking at long guns and this has me ready to just spend the extra cash on a scar. Is the barrel chrome lined, does it have m4 feed ramps, does it have a better bolt carrier than most, does it have a upgraded receiver? What makes this rifle worth the asking price generally curious.?

Hi Brock and welcome. Nothing really special about it other than the COLT Name. Other vendor prices : https://gun.deals/search/apachesolr_search/098289020673 ---------- Cheers and happy new years!

What would be the best magazine for this rifle?
