Have fun with it, buy some ammo and don't be to cheap to shoot it. Learn the gun and you will enjoy it.

I was in a gun shop yesterday, they had brand new ARs for $400-500.00. I asked what they were paying for any that walked in the door and the answer was $200-300.00. Haven't drank the AR Kool-aid yet, doubt I will they just don't interest me.

I didn't really ever have an interest in one either..... until one of the guys up at the deer lease brought his with a weapons light.
I'm thinking this could be a big boost to the "fawn recruitment program" as in a bunch of dead 'yotes in the dark!
Well I couldn't just buy one, I would have to assemble it from parts - ha lots of fun but not really any cheaper!
I'm down to choosing a weapons light and a sling and the Storm Trooper 15 will be complete. Coyotes beware!!!

I was never interested in them, but finally bought one just because liberals said I shouldn't have one. I still think they are ugly, but I now have a pile of them. I've yet to buy or build one that wasn't unbelievably accurate and reliable.They are truly a better mousetrap.

Part of the reason was obviously timing (politics).

The other part is we need something like this for home safety for when the 9.0 quake hits.

The other is we've had some odd behaving raccoons and coyotes trying to get fawns around the place.

Lastly is well, because there's a gap in my armory.

You should buy one shoot it a little and if you still don't like it sell it for what you paid or close to it.

I never had a use for one until Obama pissed me off with one of his pushes and after I discovered what the gun was I never looked back.

I never wanted one either. But I fell into a bunch of parts for almost nothing on a trade so I put one together. I put a Leupold 1.5-5 on it and found I really like it. In fact it’s my most used rifle by far. It’s accurate and reliable and I don’t mind that it’s behind the seat of my truck getting scratched all to hell as long as it holds zero. It’s absolute poison on everything I’ve ever pointed it at, crows, hogs, coyotes, deer, turkeys I basically use ut on anything smaller than elk and it works great.

I sighted mine in with a cheap 3-9×30mm, but recently acquired a 3-12×50mm E with lit reticle. NcSTAR. (From a fellow forum member)
I've got it mounted, but haven't been to a range yet to sight it in.

I put a Vortex Spitfire on mine. It is a 1x Prism red/green dot.
Not really a long range solution but @ 200 yards it should be minute of coyote.

Be sure and keep a close eye on it, lest it jump up, go full auto, and attack innocents!


Congrats!

Got mine with a flash suppressor and bayo lug when Slick Willy was making it illegal to make any more. Never really wanted one before.

It starts with buying one. Then maybe another. Before you know it you'll be building your own, especially uppers!
