Time to start looking for the rest of the rifle I want to build. Lotsa good deals to be had now. I would look first at Bravo Company's uppers (they're $100 off normal price) and then at Armalite's 10-10-10 upper deals. Who knows, give it a month and maybe Bushmaster will run another Thanksgiving sale. |

Strangely, I was expecting an epic profanity-laced diatribe filled with racist comments about the president and insults to particular peaceful religion, sprinkled with personal insults against every mod and staff member. But hey, congrats on the AR thingy. |

The main decision I have to make is do I go with a featureless build so I can use my hi caps or go the bullet button route and be stuck with 10 rounders.

I'm really impressed you managed to hold out for 12 years. I would have bought a rifle a while ago.
Heck, just last month I saw a 10/22 factory mag that someone had thrown away at the range. They loaded a few rounds backwards and jammed it, so they just chucked it. I took it hope, took it apart, unjammed it and now I have a perfectly functional 10/22 mag (and 3 free rounds of Remington cheapo .22LR). The pressure to buy a rifle for it is almost overpowering. |

You know the pic with the three really ugly AR's that someone always posts in a California AR thread? Those are featureless. Also see MonsterMan grip builds. Basically, no pistol grip and no flash hider. Oh, and a non collapsible stock. |

Are you shitting me? Can't really call you a lurker with over 10K posts...That's more like professional Stalker stuff right there! Congrats on pulling the trigger on your FIRST AR-15....sure can't accuse you of making any rash, off-the-cuff decisions without taking the time to carefully think things through.

You have to pay the state for the privilege of checking your history? I sure enough am glad I live in a free state. When I buy a firearm here all I do is show my CWP and fill out the form. Takes all of five minutes. |
