The FN SCAR 556 is only like $1900 at my local shop.

Umm thats the bushmaster ACR/Magpul Massada :hello: lol I think you meant these:

I own a Yugoslavian SKS, a Mauser Kar98k from WW2, and a Walther P.38 also from WW2 with all matching numbers that a veteran brought back. I'll get pictures one day. $500 worth of ammo that I haven't touched either :stirthepot:

Congratulations, that is beautiful!

I didn't buy it yet, I was seeing what kind of deal it was for those in the know. It seems like since the run on ARs is over for now there are a lot of good deals to be had, better than this one I think.

you can get some new for less
Stag Arms

but I guess if the RRA is local, it would be easier, no need to pay a fee for your local FFL.

So I ended up getting this one, a Daniel Defense DDM4v3. It will be here by Friday.

Daniel Defense is building some pretty good rifles... probably a better choice than the RRA. ;)

Ok! Now I can officially congratulate you:tiphat:!

congrats tin, looks sweet!!!!!

Thanks fellas, now that Obama mania has subsided there are some pretty damn good deals on ARs out there.

Nice choice, Tin! Daniel Defense is leaps and bounds better than RRA (at least by reputation).

Yeah after spending a ridiculous amount of time on gun message boards that's what I discovered too. It will be here on Monday, I'll post up some pics then. After that I need to learn how to use it! :ugh2:

Take some good pics.
When I got my first AR and didn't know anything about them, I spent a great deal of a time on message boards my self. It was a pain in the azzs.
