A new toy for Mikey....

I've been wanting one of these for some time now, and finally decided to treat myself to alittle something special. It's an early Christmas present to me! I felt terrible after buying it, stupid buyers remorse! But Crystal quickly helped me get over it by telling me I work hard for what we have (want) and that I deserve to treat myself now and then...I'll still have alittle guilt about it, but guessing it will melt away quickly the first time I pull the trigger with one in the chamber. I went to the gun store today with a print out of the one I wanted to order from a company back east, and the gun store had one on the shelf with the exact options I wanted...but $70 cheaper than the one I was looking at, and this one comes from one of the top names in the AR game...so I was pretty happy with that. I wanted a flat top rail, and as you can see, I got it. A chrome-alloy barrel and bolt, got those too. The one I wanted only came with 1-30 round magazine, but this one came with 2...take that Clinton! So, now all I have to do is decide what kind of optic I want to have on the top rail and she's ready to go. I'm going to order a standard sight for the top for now, so at least I can go play with it. Thankfully we have lots of gun shows that roll through, wonder if I'll be able to convince Ernie to go to the shows with me so I can get a good optic for it....hmmmmmmmmmm he has been known to like him some gun shows in the past. The only other thing I need to do now...is name her....
