My cousin bought one of these at bass pro a couple weeks ago . He had feed issues and the mag would not lock in properly. He took it back to bass and they sent it to backto Mossberg. I know that his stock was fixed in place , and with the carry handle it will limit your range of optics.I agree with fishinkeylargo get a S&W 15-22 I own one and love it , these are very close to the full size AR 15 and most parts(stock , pistol grip, and sights/optics) interchange . I really depends on what you are tradeing for this and what are your intentions with this gun ? If you want to acessorize it I feel you will be dissappointed in the mossberg.
