Pretty much, and if you don't see it as an investment, I am willing to take the hit for you and pay you what you paid for it, minus, say 10% for its being used.Afff_667 wrote:I'm normally a pretty laid back, fairly patient kind of person who tries not to let things outside my lane get to me and spoil my time on planet Earth. However, all of this AWB talk and associated craziness has really began to sour me on my AR. I'm a civilian, so I have no professional need for an AR. I wanted one as a challenge to myself to learn about it, take some serious training classes, and then add it to my small collection of firearms. I should emphasize that I didn't purchase it to become a safe queen but intended to it get dirty, scratched up, and be well used.
I did months of research on the subject and then spent several months putting together what I believe to be a very decent system as money became available. I intentionally dedicated 2012 to getting the hardware and planned to work on the software during 2013. I will admit now, however, that I wish I'd bought more ammo instead of the Aimpoint a few weeks ago and that I'd been buying magazines and ammo all along as I suspected I should have. I see some folks writing about how these things should normalize somewhat over the next few months, but others are sure it's the end for AR and related weapons. I'm thinking that it may be time to get out of the AR world and plow those resources into an 870 and reloading equipment and other items to keep me running with 9mm...
Anyone else feeling this way? Am I all gloom and doom? Will things rebound as they did after the 2008 election?
