Bought my first AR! But.... Did I overpay?

[n8vrmind]

Like others said, we all "overpay" for ARs in California..some just more than others. My first off the shelf AR was also between a M&P15 and the Saint. Went with M&P15 and it was a reliable economy class AR. Considering the anti2A secret deal Springfield Armory tried to pull off a few years ago, I was glad I didn't give them my $.

Hell no you did not overpay, you paid what you wanted and got what you wanted when you wanted it.

This - shoot it and don't look back.

Meh. You will make it up somewhere else. Enjoy it!

Haha. I feel your pain OP. I bought after Sandy Hook. I will never get back my "investment". No "regerts" for me. I paid a lot more than you did. The cost of feeding will be more than you paid for the rifle.

The people who brag online about their astute market savvy and uncanny ability to find the best prices on everything are compensating for their real life tendency to get fleeced mercilessly every time they open their wallet.

Is this what yours looks like?

This is the Free Float version. Runs $1100.

I bought the free float one at Turner's couple months ago on sale for 900 but it was the last one they had.. not just at the store but in company stock.

The fixed float had just been on sale for 800.

Not too bad if you got the free float version.

I always check out prices on grabagun. If I get close to that in a brick store it's a good price...

Fixed float for 850: https://grabagun.com/springfield-108.html

Free float is usually 100+ more.

Just shoot it and enjoy!

I've never heard of the term "fixed float" to describe a non free float, drop-in handguard setup. Sounds marketingish.

You.should of built your first AR, there isn't much to it and you learn as you build.

You bought what you wanted and you can't go wrong with anything Springfield Armory.
Enjoy your new gun.

Being happy with your purchase?.......PRICELESS.

Good call on going with the Springer vs. the S&W.

People still buy ARs in Comifor.....nevermind.

Enjoy your rifle. That's all that matters. Don't try to turn gun shopping into car shopping! You'll wind up with the same aggravation!

[smle-man]

Who cares?

You decided that you were alright paying whatever for your gun, and then you paid it. It was worth that much to you. It's done. Who gives a ****? Or do you prefer having a bunch of anonymous idiots tell you you're a dumbass because they could have bought it cheaper?

Use the Turners ad to call your credit card company and get a price match. Some credit cards have that feature and will refund you the difference.
