    Does she have a sister?...Or, a really close female friend that you would swear was her sister? A woman that buys you a firearm...It's true love.

    I'm going to break-step on this one...

    Once upon a time, I was voicing my need for a working shotgun. This was back before patrol rifles were the norm, and you had to be a very special person to have one. I went on and on about how I needed to get a good working gun, and about how I planned to buy one soon. I did not expect to have one purchased for me.

    My then-girlfriend, bless her heart, went out and dropped a chunk of change on a NIB Mossberg M590A1. I mean, the nice model, with the parked finish, the heavy barrel, and the ghost-rings.

    Small problem...Mossbergs have never fit me right. I don't know what it is, and I've tried to figure it out, but 870's feel -much- better to me. Apparently the one thing I -hadn't- voiced in all of my prattling on, was that I planned to buy a Rem.

    Rather than allow her substantial investment to languish, I addressed it honestly with her, and got clearance to sell it to a buddy. Although I contemplated keeping it for the "correctness", I couldn't see letting a $450 or so investment go to waste.

    Of course, perhaps that's why she's a former girlfriend

    Sounds like she got you a nice dirt clod shooter that you picked out! Keep the girl and research your AR's!!

    Great girlfriend, not so great rifle.....
    That said, I just had a little convo with my girlfriend. Told her if she ever planned on buying me an AR to make sure and check with me first, ill give her the tag number of the one I want at the LGS.
    She already bought me a shotgun once, a Mossberg 500, and that's because I had been looking at that specific model and she remembered what it was. AR's are a little different.

    Sell the girl.

    Put a ring on the gun.

    Its the only reasonable course of action.

    Buy the rifle a BCM BCG, fixed metal front sight, and the girl a ring.

    Congrats on having such an awesome gf. Even with what I know of this platform now if any one surprised me with a gift like that I would appreciate it and make the most of it with them. Besides, these AR15's multiply.

    Great gal, enjoy your new AR.

    Go shoot! Now that she dropped the coin on the gun part that frees up your funds to go buy ammo and mags!
