couldn't hold out any longer. Got myself a scary black rifle

Post by pbwalker »

It was as if it was an omen. I've wanted an AR-15 for a while now and was trying to sell some pistols I had to finance it. Well, imagine my delight when I opened up this Sunday's Academy flier and say a Bushmaster M4A2 on sale for $899. I just went ahead and got it during my lunch break. I'm itching to go home and see if I can still disassemble and reassemble in under a minute (I'd imagine it is almost a carbon copy of the M16 take down)

YAY!! :hurry: :hurry:

Good on you. Enjoy it!

I've got a Bushmaster Varminter. It's a great rifle... ...one of those "If I can see it, I can kill it" kind of rifles. I put a Burris 3-12x50 mm XTR tactical scope on mine.

In polite circles, it is considered bad taste to post a thread stating one has aquired a new precious evil black rifle without also posting photographs so we may all share in the joy of your new family member.

Congrats on the new rifle!

I mean no offense against your new baby, but I have to chuckle every time I see one of those "Mfaux" or "M4gery" rifles with the short handguards and long barrel. They just don't look "right" with all that barrel hanging out past the front sight. I wonder how far the bayonet would extend past the flash hider. :rolll

Wow, that's pretty sweet. Too bad my wife won't let me buy one (I guess I don't really need one anyway).
