I've never fallen victim to the numerous panics of the past seven years. I made some pretty good money during the first one selling off some items I no longer needed. I also became infected by the dreaded black rifle disease around 12 years ago and consider myself a recovering addict. In spite of both of these, I ordered a new complete LMT lower three days ago. Fearing the worst from numbnuts, I didn't want to be left with only one AR15 should things be headed in a bad direction.
Now, I don't really "need" another AR15. The rifle I have is setup perfectly for me having been put through numerous iterations and there isn't a thing about it I want to change. When I got home from work today I started thinking about it and ended up deciding to order an upper so off to the BCM website I went. I now have a (mostly) complete upper on the way to go on my lower. It'll have to be sent out to have a muzzle device pinned and welded before I can put it on the lower which means more money out the window. Of course I'll also need some sights for it, an optic, a handguard and I've been looking for an excuse to try a Law Tactical folding adapter. I know myself pretty well and I won't be satisfied with the factory trigger so that'll have to go, the factory stock won't be good enough either.
I'm ashamed I allowed myself to fall victim to yet another scare. I have also relapsed into BRD after years of staying clean.
I am kind of liking the little tingle of anticipation however...
