Yes, at least here in UT

6/2/20 10:08pm

Borrow, probably not. But you can usually rent them at the range.

That's what I meant. You can rent a gun and use it, at the range.

The Mossberg 500 is on my list to buy one of these days

Honestly, with the calibers available in AR-15s, I see no need for an AR-10
