I bought my gun during the rush and bought an old school AR-10 used. If I'd had my pick of a pre-pandemic world I'd probably bought a new one but it is an actual Armalite. I almost bought a used ar-15 that is very similar to the ones on the above site with the M-Ok (sp?) hand rail/guard thing. $700.. was bought out from under me. It was a cheap Anderson arms gun but probably good enough. I'd like one more ar-15 and I think I'm done with guns for many years. Guns are easy to drop money into when you have nothing else to buy.. you buy the gun then another $500+ on good optics.
