    Default Picked up my 1st AR15

    Been lurking here for a couple of weeks -- figured I'd wait to post until I actually picked up an AR.




    Thanks to reading user "Cameron"'s post a few days ago, I bought my Bushmaster M4A3 at Gander Mountain, had them pricematch to Sportsman's Wearhouse (From $930 to $890) and then got 20% back in the form of a gift card ($178). Used the gift card to pick up an extra Bushmaster 30rd mag (only .223 mag in the store), cleaning supplies, a crapload of sight-in and "Shoot-N-C" targets, and 400 rounds of military surplus ADCOM ammo (5.56x45 M855) for $4 box/20. The ADCOM was 1/2 price of the WWB 62 grain, so I figured it was worth a shot -- ammo was definitely overpriced at Gander, but I had that gift card that I wanted to get rid of. $950.xx after tax for all the above and 400 rounds seemed pretty good to me.

    I spent tonight stripping it down and cleaning it. I'm planning to go up to the mountains on Saturday and put a couple hundred rounds through it. I've never shot an AR before, so it should be fun!

    P.S. - Never used photobucket before, so I hope the pics show up. My roomate's cat likes to sniff our firearms whenever we pull them out. :mrgreen:

    Welcome you don't have to have an AR and that cat looks very malnutritioned I am calling the humane society on you. :mrgreen:

    The cat is bigger than she looks, probably 12-13 pounds. And my roomate's other cat just got diagnosed with diabetes because he ate too much -- I certainly don't think this one is under-fed. :cry:

    Welcome JGordon! My Cat wants to say something to your roommate's Kitty...."Hey there Kit your looking pretty Phat!"
    Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.
