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

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.

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.

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.

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

The libs around you will run in horror until ou pull our your .22, fire it, then show them you AR-15 works just about the same and doesn't spew bullets like the Tarantino movies they love to watch...Enjoy ...: )

Those extras really got ya, huh ?

That’s a great price for that unit. I had to do some major bargain shopping when I bought my Colt 2960. Got it from Walmart for $800.

My biggest advice to the new AR owner is to read up on what people are saying, but also beware that every AR owner tends to say “You NEED this” when you really may not need it.

The best lesson I’ve learned so far is that not every accessory has to be on it.

Also, It’s really not a superior firearm. It’s just a firearm that all americans should own because it’s the official weapon of our armed forces. But it’s their official rifle because of their supply and armorer chain. This rifle can’t be used to drive a stake into the ground or be whacked against a tree (Like a Garand can) but its light and is basically a “take down” rifle that can fit in a non-gun bag.

You’ll also like that fore end after time. Even though it’s not covered with rails and handles.

 photo IMG_20151214_1720402_zpsdvasub1f.jpg I think that mine is defective too. No matter how many "right wing extremist" websites that I visit, violent video games that I play, or read my Bible, all it ever shoots is little pieces of paper.

I was in an Ace Hardware on Thursday at the line to buy rifles was 20 deep at the gun counter. I was surprised at how many little old ladies (at least 5) were in line too.
