Just bought my first AR.

[Hangfire]

I just wanted something for the occasional range trip and for self / home defense so I didn't see the need in spending a whole lot of $$$ for a high dollar AR.

This morning I purchased a brand new Smith & Wesson M & P 15 Sport II for $699.99 + tax......the barrel is a 1 in 9 twist and it came with one 30 round Magpul and the only spare mags they had in the store are made by Mission First and with me not knowing the quality MF mags I just picked up one 30 rounder for $10.00.

I'll reload for it when I get some bullets but right now I don't have any 5.56 / .223 factory ammo and there is none in town so I can't even fire go it.

Anybody on here local that can sell me three or four 20 round boxes ?

Nice gun for a first AR.

Unfortunately there is even a bigger demand for ammo than firearms right now. If you do find some 223/5.56 it will most likely cost you around $.50/round or more.

Good luck!

If you need some 30 rd mags let me know, I have some to get rid of.

Good luck on that. Last month I bought an AR from Sports World in Tulsa and they would only sell 223 ammo with the purchase of an AR.

Nice first AR 15. I hope it serves your purpose well. Be careful though, those dang things multiply like rabbits.

If you look online at Freedom Munitions they have some. Not cheap, but that’s where I buy my bulk ammo from.

Congrats on the AR. Good luck on the ammo.

Solid first choice. MFT seem ok, but the standard go to seems to be the Pmag, gen 2 or 3. That’s what I’ve standardized on.

Good luck on ammo.

I’m curious though, in a genuine way, a Vietnam vet and this is just now your first AR? Interesting and curious. Thank you for your service!

You can still find Pmags reasonably priced online.

Get some good range time and practice cheap. I picked one of these up a while ago and works 98.5% of the time.

I found mine a month or so back at Dack industries for 169. If you shop around you may find it cheaper, but it appears to be selling out everywhere also.
