Congratulations, Crucial, and welcome to the site. That Bushmaster is a fine AR specimen, I'm sure you're going to enjoy it a lot. #1 accessory......milspec USGI mags and plenty of ammo to fill them  If you're not already a member at a club, be sure to check out the Kentucky Ranges thread to find a range in your area. www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=8&f=27&t=404 Are you planning on using any optics, or stick with the irons? |
Where you located at?
|
i would like to use a red dot of some sort, but thats will be later down the road ... i was thinking of something like a aimpoint mounted on the carry handle (not that thats hasn't been done b4) but it all depends on the cash flow ... located in covington as far as i know shooter supply should have their rifle range open by late april .. what would be too much to pay for a milspec USGI mag ? |

I usually will pay up to about $15 I guess for new milspec mags, depends on how generous I feel . Here is a good site for reference on the prices ( shipping not figured into price ), they are also a board sponsor here: www.44mag.com/ You can also pick up a copy of The Shotgun News and get a feel for the entire aftermarket. The biannual Machine Gun Shoot at Knob Creek is always a good time to buy mags I've found. The next show and shoot is April 7th-9th. If you've never been before, you should really plan a trip down there, HIGHLY RECCOMENDED  : Knob Creek Machine Gun Shoot
