Maybe you saved few hundreds, I am not an expert on those rifles, but a good Colt will cost you the same what you paid without the extras.rocketexas wrote:I paid $1400 for the setup, so it wasn't that much of a purchase from the $700 quote above. I figured a decent new AR15 would start at 1k and up after adding the mods. I did look at the Rock River arms at the gun show, they had a nice one for 1099.99. So A few more bills to have a EOTech and Surefire, I figured, I got my money's worth.
I read at the Noveske site, it has a 14.5 barrel with a flash muzzle to make it 16'' LOB. You guys had me concerned for a bit. I'm Legal.
Dig this, I was at a Flea Market (san antonio) last weekend and found a few sweet switchblades (Gerber and SOG) for $40 each. I so much wanted to get them, but after reading the Texas statues, Texas only allows Active Duty and Police to own/carry them. These things are selling for over $160 at the local knive store. I was so ready to make a few bucks.
My first rifle most likely will be Sig SWAT with some goodies. At lease flashlight, laser and EOTech or the like.
