I know its decent, but is it worth it right now to give up cash and ammo? Guess I am looking for permission....

You have 15 mags that you currently do not have a rifle for.
The 106 series is out of production; sales suffered because of the rep of the early rifles for canted sights and difficulty in feeding. That was resolved with later production runs.
Arsenal's greed in pricing mags was likely the final nail in the coffin.
This is a screaming deal, the BB 7.62 is around $250 for 500 rounds, so $750 for the rifle. It's a no-brainer; buy it. You'll never get one that cheap any time soon, IMO, especially if you've already got factory Bulgarian mags.
There's a new 106FR on Gunbroker for $1020, so that is a good deal on your rifle. The non-rail rifles weren't that much cheaper, IIRC.
