Hello folks. I just signed up and have a question or two but will introduce myself first.
I’m a retired guy, 60’s, been doing firearms since shooting game for food in se OK as a kid.
Not new to this kind of rifle, did 12 years usn where I was issued s 1st gen m-16 (trained on m-60, m203, mortar at Pendleton grunt school). So been away a long time as I was soured on the ones we had and went ak after getting out. My point I I like getting schooled but am not a boot.
Probably bored most into changing threads but If anyone is left I just wanted to share what I will be picking up tuesday and do you guys think I messed up. Was out of tge country 10 years and way behind on everything.
From the exchange at tinker afb I ordered this in black.

I do not care for the emblems and engraving, or don’t care about them one way or another I should say, and after seeing the website I don’t care about the bro stuff.
I do care about the price. I got 15% off the sale, 5% off using a star card, 20.00 gift card and 50.00 veterans day discount. So take in consideration it was about 670.00 and hard to pass up. Right in my price range.
I will mostly target shooting regularly, home defense and if the SHTF I have a number of medical problems (100% va), am positive from Agent orange, so my stand would probably be from home.
Also I got a cheap red dot to go with it. A trueglo true-tec with green laser.
Anyway, thoughts? Bad screw up? Wouldn’t be my first.
Sorry about the long post but wanted to say I am a rookie here, but not a “bucket of steam, “bulkhead remover”, “batteries for the sound powered phones” type rookie.
Thank you for allowing me to join
