that's absolutely what happened. I got my Xmas bonus Friday with my paycheck (a day early because payday was on a weekend). I was watching that story as I bought the rifle online but no one had any info yet. I had planned on buying it that morning all along. I did buy a few more magazines than I was planning on though later that morning. just dumb luck but I'll take it.
it's not in my safe yet though so there's a chance I'll still get screwed.

Hey yz9890, It's cool you have an AR coming and all the accessories. I would like to throw my 50 cents worth of info in there and mention the enhanced trigger guard. When you drive the old pin out and install the new one, it's best to support the other side of the receiver where the old pin comes out. That little tab will break right off! An armourers block, or a piece of wood with a hole works great. We can't go buy an $80 receiver anymore. Just saying.
Here in Boise the shelves are bare. No more AR or AK magazines. I counted 5 people looking at AR's at cabellas Saturday, and a friend said sportsman’s warehouse sold 40 AR's a day this week and now they are gone. There are a few plane jane M4 AR's out there and they want more than I have invested in my 3gun carbine! Wow! Denny

One additional tidbit for your new rifle. The absolute best thing you could do is to replace the "GI" trigger with a Geissele SSA trigger. It's a two-stage trigger that's super-smooth and clean breaking while still being totally safe. If you partially pull the trigger (even into the second stage) and decide not to fire, when you remove your finger from the trigger the trigger will fully reset.
The SSA is the trigger that's most highly recommended by Bill Geissele for typical semi-auto combat weapons. Wander around their web site and you'll learn a lot, as Bill makes many different trigger types. He's one of the absolute best makers of triggers today. I've spoken to Bill and he's very friendly and helpful even to the lowly individual customer like me.
If it isn't clear with this post, I have the SSA trigger in my AR-15 and love it.

Wait until you go for an EOTech holographic sight and then add their 3.2x magnifier in front of it.

If you are just changing the butt stock then the little tapco wrench is all you need.
I have noticed the AR15 is the Man's version of Barbie dolls and it's OK. Den

If you don't have an accessory such as the Magpul ASAP (a sling mount device) under the castle nut, the Tapco wrench works fine. I have a Magpul ASAP and the Tapco wrench won't allow me to turn the castle nut enough. I found another type of spanner wrench that I still had to modify to make it work properly for my setup.
I use the EOTech EXPS-2 sight and very much want to get their G33 STS magnifier. The only problem is the $550 going price for the magnifier. I'm gonna have to scrimp and save to get that one.yz9890 said:
it finally showed up yesterday at my FFL. I was out of town until this afternoon and could hardly sleep. drove right to my FFL from the airport.

here it is with all the schwag I've been waiting to try out on it.
here it is after. my spanner wrench hasn't arrived yet so I couldn't put on the Noveske QD end plate and I haven't picked out a sling yet either.
seeing as how I have exactly zero rds of 5.56, it may be 4yrs until I can get you a range report.

Seriously - that's a nice looking stick. I do hope you can find something to feed it soon.
