"If I knew then, what I know now." Yep, that would have saved me some time and money.Though it was a fun ride. Ten years ago there wasn't that many quality AR manufacturers that had established themselves over the long haul. The same went for manufacturers of AR accessories and components. Today there are a myriad of top notch equipment out there covering everything you can possibly want/need for your weapon system. I'd hate to start out today as a newb with all the options available. They make it really, really hard to resist the latest and greatest. And those damn "SALES" three or four times a year doesn't help any! Damn, if I just get a suppressor or two, then I'll really focus on some more training. "Sure you will 3 AE, sure you will."
