OK, you guys are taking the naming thing a little too seriously. I really don't name my guns, either (otherwise, I would've asked for name suggestions when I bought my SIG and my Mossberg).

The only problem I have is that the mags it came with are pretty flimsy, so I'll need new ones eventually (before I ever actually fire the rifle, preferably). Also, I had no idea that the spring on the forearm mount is so stiff; we spent almost half an hour trying to pry off the forearm so that we could look at the gas tube. As for Bushmaster, we inspected quite a few of those at various dealers' tables, because Bushy was another option that we considered. Almost all of the ones we saw had fairly poor-quality bolt carriers. It seems to me that they've actually deteriorated in quality in the last few years. I've handled older-model XM15s that used far better parts. |

The Forearm mount can be stiff sometimes. You'll have to pry it a few times to loosen it. Magazines shouldn't be that expensive to buy

As for the forearm, it looks to me like you have to squeeze it a little or something. But I expect that the spring will loosen up after extended usage and then it won't be as big a problem. |

A good KA RIS system is always a good thing. Any plans for what kind of mags? Maybe P-Mags?

CDNN is another good place to get mags. That's where most of my spares came from.

Selection seems a bit limited, though. But thanks for the recommendation.

Ya'll want to hear something funny? A few years ago my father gave me a STAG Arms AR like this one: (only left handed) as a gift. See all those rails? I had previously mentioned to him many, many times that I don't like rails very much and that I think they're ugly. I'm not saying that I'm not extremely grateful, but c'mon, what good is a rail system if you can't afford accessories?

Ever heard of CheaperThanDirt? They have highly rated AR-15 mags for 10 bucks here:
http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/MAG065-36.html If I had an AR that's probably what I would buy. Brownells boasts a lot out of their mags but I don't know much about them. Still, they too have fairly good ratings. Brownells have steel ones but they are more expensive and more or less unnecessary.
