Hey brother, sorry just saw this. Yeah, the point of taking the Texas course was to avoid the mandatory field day for the MD one—though it occurs to me now that the MD field day might be suspended due to covid? Anyways, sorry for the confusion; I should have stated that in the original post!
No worries GB--Thanks for the reply. She decided to go with purchasing a stripped lower. Now we have (get?) to build her an AR. This should be interesting...
