I'd like to get some advice about whether or not I should buy a particular AR...
I'm deployed in Afghanistan and my unit set up a deal with Superior Arms several months ago for a commemorative AR-15 (Magazine well engraved with unit crest) that would be available to those in my unit for $750. It was a good deal before all this panic buying but with the AWB potential and panic buying back in the US, it seems like something maybe I shouldn't pass up. Superior Arms says that they will still honor the deal but it might take 6 months to deliver... which is fine since I can't take possession of it until I redeploy anyway. Here are the pros and cons:
Pros:
- You can never have too many ARs
- Even if the AWB doesn't take place, I'm not likely to find another AR at this price for a very long time
- If the AWB is emplaced, this might be my last chance to buy one
- The engraving stuff is kind of cool
Cons:
- I already have an AR and wasn't really in the market for one - there are other guns higher on my list
- If I was, I'm not sure I would have picked Superior Arms (don't really know much about them... not saying they are bad, just have to do more research)
- If the AWB doesn't pass, ARs will be back on the market eventually so this probably wouldn't be my last chance.
Anybody have any compelling reason, one way or another, why I should go ahead and buy it or not?
