Nice, I've got three 10 round magazines and only enough ammo to fill two of them at the moment. Part of the issue is I got a smoking deal on a Kahr CW-40 and then decided I HAD to have an AR-15 before California banned them all together, so 2 guns in the same month. I went on a mad scramble trying to find the cheapest AR I possibly could having heard stories of $500 AR's being sold recently in my area. I got the wife on board, BARELY, we are drowning in medical debt too by the way so why not throw an AR on the credit card right? Well I was late to the party and everyone else had bought up all the super cheap AR's, the cheapest I could find was an Adams Arms 16" carbine base model, $730 out the door.
I felt OK about it after researching Adams Arms and the whole gas piston system. Then I realized the gun didn't come with sights...well can't shoot the gun without sights right? I go to my wife, tail between my legs, babe, I need sights, my gun doesn't come with them. Then I agonized over what sights to buy, I didn't want to spend too much, but I didn't want to have to buy twice, who would have thought a good set of BUIS would cost me a couple hundred dollars??? I finally settled on a cheap set of aluminum flip ups from Ultimate Rifle Build, and a Field Sport Micro Red Dot off of Amazon, went super cheap so I bought two in case something didn't work. Guess what, the Ultimate Rifle Build sights were not so ultimate, they were thrashed and failed to fold after only about 100 rounds shot through the rifle. I sent them back for a full refund and I'm debating whether I even need BUIS or not at this point, especially after watching Mr Proctor talk about them at Way of the Gun. The cheapo red dot works great so far.
Then I realized how badly I needed a flashlight on my gun for home defense, and that I needed a locking gun case to transport it, and that I should probably get a sling...The list goes on, and I'm definitely addicted...
