Excellent choice. Be warned - you'll be running through far more ammo than you expect. It gets addictive quick.
Finally joined the dark side-my first AR

Excellent choice! I'm sure you'll love it. I have one very similar, and I love it.
A word of warning: shooting AR's is addictive. They're so fun, you'll probably find yourself going to the range more often now. But thats not a bad thing...

Not sure who makes the mags for Tapco, but they have a good price going for AR mags.

I think you meant addictive, but in my case additive works as well.

Don't know about the AR mags but the AK ones are made by Pro-mag

And you can have your bbl turned down to to .625 between the FSB and muzzle to make it even lighter, and if you want lighter than that, you can have it turned down to a pencil bbl (.550"?).

I own both a Kel-Tec Su-16CA and a DPMS Mod.A15.
The DPMS rilfe is the more accurate of the two rifles. The Kel-Tec gets about the same level of accuracy as my Ak rifles. At 100, it'll hit minute of Bad Guy consistantly, the AR will hit minute of soda can. The Kel-Tec is easier to fold up and stash away in a hiking pack, but the AR wins for functional ergos. The SU-16CA shares the heavier barrel introduced in the SU-16C model so sustained fire isn't the problem it was in the SU-16A which had the light barrel. The AR uses the direct impingement system, which can be a problem is you don't clean and maintain your weapon routinely, or use nappy ammo. The SU-16CA uses the gas piston system of the AK, which has better long term field function, but hinders accuracy.
Both are good platforms, when operated in their respected roles. The SU-16 as a higly portable field rifle that has good field endurace. The AR as a quick combat weapon for trained riflemen. If not restrained by the need for ease of portability and at least the pretense of mild concealability, the AR would be the better field choice, but as it is the SU-16CA goes hiking. On the other hand, the AR rode the cruiser.
Despite a generally bad reputation from Pro-mag, the poly AK mags have performed really well for me. I have yet to have a magazine related malfunction with them.
