I searched for a reasonably priced ar 15 for a while. Never paying them much attention until the thought of not being able to buy one. So I found one on gun broker yesterday and bought it. Its a dpms a3 and I payed 889 plus shipping. I never really payed attention to prices before, did I get a good price. Also any input on optics, its a flat top and I'm really looking for a good lower priced red dot. All the ar's at Virginia were overpriced as hell so I thought this was my best bet.
