Ugh. "Assault rifles". Stupid media keeping the misinformation alive.

Why does nobody go and b***h slap them for being dumbasses?

... If someone took an AK straight off the line and made it semi-auto.
It's no longer an assault rifle since its semi.

Just over a $1000? For an AR-family rifle? Damn that's cheap. And THAT is why I'm moving to Texas.

Those were included. The whole rifle, direct from Rock River, for around $800.

It's a Rock River. The only jams I've ever had were from bad ammo/mags.

Yeah, they have a discount for junior shooters. I think about a month after I bought it they upped all their prices, but last I heard a junior can still buy an AR parts kit for $900. The downside to a parts kit, though, is you don't get that nifty blue case, and you don't get any mags (though I don't know if you get mags with a full rifle, either).

$900 for a semi-automatic single shot rifle? (wow.)


You usually get one extra mag.
But something that's supposed to be used for 'target practice', you'll probably just get one.
Never heard about anyone getting no magazines.

Even milsurp part kits come with mags, unless the dealer or seller is being a dbag and sells the mags separately for profit.

Yeah, my kit came sans magazines. I bought five cheap-s**t steel mags for about $12. Three of them don't work right, so I converted one of them into a single-round sled. The other two need the guide fins adjusted and they should work fine.

That sucks.
But it accepts what kind of mags though?

It's an AR, through and through. Takes STANAGs.
