The worst thing about knowing you probably won't receive your set until spring / summer:
You quickly purchase all the necessary components to build up a perfectly serviceable rifle.
You play with said components...laying them out on the table in a rifle shape. Looks promising.
Then you start getting bored with said components and start perusing the picture threads and vendor websites.
Then you think, well....it's been a couple months, maybe I'll upgrade the BCG...haven't spent any money in a few weeks.
Hmm....titanium huh ? Interesting. So many options !
What's that you say ? Better optic ?........sigh, ok.
Seems like there isn't much love for vanilla mil spec triggers......maybe I NEED a better trigger....Ooops, Geiselle !
My charging handle is boring...what's the most expensive one out there ?.....OK, check.
Offset BUIS ? Well that seems like prudent SHTF logic.... Ok, take my money !
I wonder if I'll get bored of black. Maybe a second set of FDE furniture might be fun. Let's see what's out there.... Ok, take my money !
What's this about a ban ? Better buy some ammo. Lots of it. Seriously....lots.
Hmmm....lots of ammo must need lots of mags. Yeah, probably need lots of mags.
Can't wait to sight this baby in. Ok, match ammo, here I come !
Looks at calendar, checks bank account.....Oooohhh, s**t.....seven more months of this insanity !!!
