I have ordered a new rifle. Validate my purchase.
Geissele Automatics Border Patrol 5.56 NATO 18" - AR-15 Rifle

First AR I have bought in a while. First I have ever ordered online. From my limited research, I think I’ll like it.
Gonna be a plinker, mainly. I like ACOGs so I’ll probably drop one of those on it.

Validate your purchase?
We're a bunch of enablers! No one around here is really gonna say "Ya know, maybe ya shouldn't get that gun."

Especially a Geissele!

I just got 2 Geiselle uppers. A short one and a pinned 14.5. They are very nice. You are going to be very happy I suspect.

Now to find the cheapest steel case on ammo seek…

Just kidding. Been wanting to try some 77gr. This will be a good excuse to finally pick some up.

Do you have it yet? If not I think you'll like it. They just seem very well made to me with of course an excellent trigger.

Ridewv : tracking says it should be @ FFL tomorrow. It’ll be a few days before I can pick it up.

I will say it depends on the price. No doubt a great rifle. But $2k seem's like an awful lot for a DI AR.

Is a great, well made rifle not worth 1,500 of todays inflated dollars?

Validation comes from how the AR meets your needs, not from what others think.

If plinking is the required duty, then you could have spent significantly less. But there's also something to be said for enjoying the ownership of nicer things.

The whole thread is kind of tongue in cheek. I was getting the rifle, regardless.

As to "nicer things"
I agree.

With this motley bunch, validation is the last thing you have to worry about. Enablers is more their lane. Wink
