Hey guys,

 

I just did something a little out of character. Bought an AR without a lick of research.

 

My local shop just called and let me know they got in 8 ARs today. $1200 for an SRC NY which I immediately agreed to. I didn't even know who made them until about 5 minutes ago. I "pulled the trigger" since they've been so scarce and I didn't know when I was going to get another chance.

 

Did I make a mistake?

 

I paid for over the phone and haven't even seen it! I'll hopefully get it today or tomorrow. My wife doesn't even know yet!!! lol

 

Let me know what you guys think.

Ehhhh...I would say it was a bad choice...HOWEVER in todays market with the demand for them you can profit depending on make and model. Hope you made a good buy tho.

Windham Weaponry SRC-NY? MSRP $1055

No. That's a good gun - It's basically a Bushmaster - same tooling same people, different name.

Great gun i have one. I upgraded the trigger but am very happy with mine.

Windham Weaponry has a decent reputation. The company was formed by the former owner of Bushmaster. He sold the company to Remington and a few years later (maybe a non-compete clause?) opened Windham. I would take a new Windham over a new Bushmaster these days.

 

I hope you have some 223 laying around. Nothing more frustrating than buying a gun you can't find ammo for. I would start scanning some of the online ammo sites.

A real Bushmaster, made by the old employees and owner, with a different name.

Yeah, Clearly a markup but supply and demand!

 

I'll regret it for a month while it's still on my credit card statement but I'm sure I'll be happy after that!

 

Thanks guys!

 

Now to tell the wife!

Don't feel bad..I panic bought 3 saigas

Just busting on you I know you would have got more if you could.

had to get whatever calibers i didnt have

Ummm...

Not to make an assumption, but were you thinking that the rifle would be shipped to your home?

 

You'll have to go down to your shop and complete a nics check, which currently takes about 7-10 days to come back. Mine took 9 with the easter holiday.

 

Otherwise, nice rifle! Enjoy it!

I saw a used AR15 for $2600 in one store a bit ago. You paid extra, but not that bad for these days. Heck, some people will laugh because they bought gold at $300 per ounce, but without a time machine, what can ya do?

My guess is that you saw that at the sportmans center. I think they lost their minds.

No, you're right. I'm going down today to fill out paper work and will probably take it home next week sometime!

Have never even heard of SRC before this.

Good news is that gun will prob never be worth less than you paid for it, and its a great gun. Bad news is NICS IS 12 to 14. Sorry.

SRC is the model its a Windham weaponry rifle. The price you paid is what they are going for prepanic i paid 900 i think for mine. And was told the price was going up in january this was august when i bought mine.

A $1200 gas rifle that will cycle without problems, shoot straight, and allow anyone to work on marksmanship is a deal for me. Throw some Magpul MBUs on it and rings some 200 meter steel.

As stated a few posts ago. This is not a manufacture's name. This refers to an AR made by Windham Weaponry. The model designation is SRCNY, which stands for Sight Ready Carbine NY/NJ compliant. You will need to buy some sort of optics such as backup iron sights, a red dot or reflex sight, or a scope. The good news is you get to set it up the way you want. It wont have a stupid fixed carry handle.

Windham makes fantastic guns. Looks like you did Ok in this crazy market.

This definately wasn't bought at Shore Shot as it would of cost $2200. Those guys are crazy over there, I saw a standard Mossberg 500 7+1 for $600

I think you did okay. Prices are all over the place right now. Bottom line is you for the gun in NJ before they pass some sort of legislation against it.

I'm thinking about getting a second job to pay for this hobby! I'm happy that Bulkammo had .223 in stock. I'm sad for what I had to pay for it!

 

Still, not complaining. Just tough pills for a "hobby".

 

It will be sometime before I get some optics...

I have this red dot: http://www.amazon.co...e/dp/B00200E0HM

 

It was only $40 after rebate when I bought it about a year ago. It does the job. Primaryarms.com also has some less than $100 Red dots that will work for you while you save up for the Aimpoint if that's what you want. The TRS-25 works for me.

 

You can get a Magpul BUIS (back up iron site) made of plastic for the rear. They work fine. But, you probably need to get metal fold down sight for the front since it will sit on your gas block.

Don't feel bad..I panic bought 3 saigas

 

yeah.....and I bought TWO!

-they're collecting dust, along w/ my AR lowers and a bunch of other shit I havent touched.
