I think the ruger sr556 looks like one hell of an ar, 1500 bucks and it has all those accessories. A bare bones S&W M&P costthe same.

I'm intrigued... ;)

There hitting the shelves for around 1500. You can disregard that 2000 dollar msrp

Im 19 now Time to start planning a birthday gun for when i get home.:D

With Folding Battlesights™. It's like the back of the box for a GI Joe toy. I hope the manual's written the same way.

"Push the Action Fire Switch™ to trigger realistic light, sound, and firing of realistic unsafe metal projectile!"

I especially like the Monogrip® pistol grip. As opposed to the many two-handed pistol grips you find on assault rifles.

Buy a Springfield M1A. Seems like your kind of long gun. Price range for a good one is from $1000-$2000 depending on variant. This is of course a choice when money is no factor, which usually isn't the case. :D

Happy 19th.

All the m1as are around 1500 and i se emags going for 70. I would LOVE to have one when price gougers stop screwing us and make a reasonable offer. My friends dad was a GMC in the navy and expert on the m14, im sure he could teach me a thing or two.

If an M14 is too expensive, find a fair priced M1 Garand. They too are great guns. I got mine for an excellent price of ~$600, even though it's worth about $1200. :D Excellent guns to shoot too.

I'd offer more suggestions, but my mind has been slighted more towards handguns than long guns. And your not 21 yet. Can you co-own with anyone?

My moms an anti, so i cant get my own. I can look for a private sale (completely legal in maine as long as 18 and no criminalpast) but then theresa limitedselection and Id only buy from people i know.A CMP garand is always a solid gun.

You guys are bitching about How you have to wait to be 21 or 18 to buy guns? Let me tell you, Here in Brazil, guns for civilian use were abolished back in the 1990s. Not only that, but when you turn 18 you get drafted to the Military to serve. So, if some dumbshit like Chavez decides it would be fun to attack Brazil, all 18 year olds and able bodied men will get sent to the Meat Grinder called War. Maybe some women too. You guys now only need to buy guns when you are 21 and not needing to worry about getting your balls blown off. Be happy about that.
