    My New AR

    I got a chance to go to the Houston High Caliber Gun Show this past weekend. I have been in the market for a new rifle for a while. Well, I finally went ahead and dropped the coin and got a RRA. I got the chrome-lined light-weight barrel 1:7. I also picked up 1000 rounds of 5.56 and an ammo can!!! Here's my new baby.....

    Awesome. Congrats! Add a sling, and you're done.

    $1500.00 for the M4. Ouch!! Well it was $1275.00 but I added the carry handle and after taxes... Good Ole Uncle Sam!!!
    $450.00 for the 1000 rounds of 5.56. Again Uncle Sam made it closer to $500.
    $12.00 for the ammo can. LOL!!

    Plus I spent another $100 on stuff my 10 year old boy had to have. Also the entry fee.

    Tax refund was the only reason I was able to do this.

    That's a handsome piece of machinery.

    It wasn't a refund. It was your money you loaned them interest free for a year.
    However, nice gun and a good buy on the ammo too.

    Oh I am well aware of that. Good ole Uncle Sam has his hands in all our pockets.
