A sudden email and something I gave up on, is on the way.

[Ricardus]

On the second to the last day of 2008, I received an email from R & R Arms. A rifle that I had put on a wish list for approximately 4 months was available for purchase. I had already given up on it.

It was a brand new in the box, DPMS LR 308 TAC 20 which included 2 19 round mags.
What caught my immediate attention was the asking price: $980.14 + shipping & handling: $22.55 for a total of $1002.69!

Well, I was about to go for a pistol but went for the DPMS rifle instead. I had given up because it had been some time and the prices out there were unreasonable to outrageous. The longer 24 inch models were a tad heavy and I wanted one that had a 20 inch barrel (TAC 20) and a rail. A barrel shorter than 20 inches in length for a .308 Win would result in a loss of performance, or more to the point, a 20 inch barrel is really the minimum required in squeezing out close to the full potential of this caliber.

I was very gratified by the fact that R & R Arms was not resorting to the price "acceleration" one sees out there. They could have asked $1500 or more for it and someone out there would have bought it within a few days if not sooner. I however, would not have been able to afford it.

Furthermore, my wife of 22 years said, go for it. She understands a Paratrooper's need for high quality "equipment".

So, it is on the way and I should have it by next week. I am now celebrating the bargain and the new year.

Congrats on the great deal! I know you will enjoy it

Congrats on getting the gun. Now where's the video?

Congrats on the new blaster.
I expect prodigious gun porn after you have it for awhile.
When you tire of it sent it to the Feetasshead Compound, we will make use of it I assure you.

VB,
I apologize. I have no idea what damn button I pushed. No video. I don't know what I did wrong and I tried to correct it but I'm clueless on how to do it. This was my first thread so any advice will be appreciated and I will fix it.
Pictures will come later.

No biggie. I was just bustin' your balls I edited for you.

Maybe we should have a "Guns -n- Ammo" prefix.

You lucky fucking bastard.

I just shelled out $800 for a Stag M4gery that should be in my hands in about two weeks. It's a good deal (especially right now) but it doesn't beat the deal you got, that's for sure.

The only downside to .308 is ammo prices, but DPMS makes a fine weapon.

[Ricardus]

Let's put it this way, ammo is not an issue, unless I decide to use my rifle for 3 gun. I doubt if I will take any carbine or rifle courses with it! For that I have my LMT M4gery!

[Ricardus]

I'm good for .308 / 7.62 unless the zombie squads start swarming through the lines like the Chicoms did in Korea!;-)

Zombies...you guys are so juvenile. It's like hanging out in the comic shop around here.

I sometimes question if I can get you guys mentally prepared for when the terminators start showing up.....

[Ricardus]

Listen there young man, I was being facetious -- fancy word for smart ass (among other things)! Look it up.

I'll remember that when I start liberating people from work camps....

[Ricardus]

Listen bud, the only thing you're going to liberate is a beer from the Human Resistance Command Post (REFRIGERATOR).

Well, yeah!

It's important to keep your strength up, and to stay hydrated.

Ricardus...seeing as you are a 504th kind of kind..I am not sure you are qualified to handle such a fine piece of equipment. I am willing to trade you an airsoft version....

All joking aside ya done good...
