Pew Pew Meter

Editor’s Note: Lead Star Arms is known for building competition guns, but the Grunt is perfect for range duty or home defense. We loved the linear compensator, 17-inch handguard, and refined trigger on this lightweight AR-15. It's too bad that the safety and charging handle aren't ambidextrous, but we can't be too mad considering how affordable this carbine is.
