And lost it in a tragic boating accident.

Enjoy!

Congrats.

Nice.

That sounds like a decent price to me. In 2009 after 0bama got elected, you probably would have had to pay twice that much.

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

Don’t need one. Have another type which suits me just fine. Also, don’t plan on getting involved where I might have to use it. I’m more of a .22 short kind of guy with a real small pistol as I limp along on my cane carrying a potato in my pocket for a snack.

Congratulations!

Happy Father’s Day—you did fine.

Looks like you found a rear sight somewhere.

Now get a red dot for it. They are great at normal carbine range shooting.

Oh, and you did not buy an AR15, you bought “your first AR15”.

I bought mine two days ago. I'd have walked out of the store with it, but mine has to be special ordered for a left handed model. They're gonna build it from scratch. It set me back $1399 not including the green dot sight I want and ammo. I have to wait 4-6 weeks but I can't wait. I'm sure though, it'll sadly fall into a large body of water on my way back home, much like I lost all my handguns in another tragic boating accident about a year or so ago. It was so sad..:( Although I don't have it physically with me, this is what I bought.

[Jack Hammer]

You done good.

[Brooklyn Attitude]

Has it shot you yet?

Oh, and you did not buy an AR15, you bought “your first AR15”.

Spot on! They're like potato chips: you can't have just one!

This is one of mine, although I have a green dot scope and a bipod on mine:

I’m jealous!

[FlingWingFlyer]

I’ve been thinking a lot about getting an AR-15 quite a bit lately. Thanks for the sales pitch. Now I’ve got to try to find one for $599.00. I think I could talk the wife out of that much. LOL! I want one.

[usconservative]

See above, I have the right-handed model of that same AR-15. You will LOVE it!

Rock River Arms makes a flawless AR-15. Very pleased with mine. Thousands of rounds of ammunition through it, not a single jam. Note: you void the warranty if you use re-manufactured or re-load rounds in it. To me it's not worth the risk.

Congratulations on your purchase!

[GeorgiaDawg32]

thanks. I believe you void the warranty on any gun if you use reloads. It’s not worth the risk to me either.

[Drew68]

Looks like you found a rear sight somewhere.

Yep. I didn't feel like researching optics so I bought an obscenely overpriced Magpul flip-up sight just to have something on the rifle.

[ealgeone]

$599 is a very good price. Congrats on the AR.

[wrench]

Those sights are a bit pricey, but they are US made, and give good service. I like them better than the USGI flip up sights.
