And I picked up the GI version with box, papers and extra mag for 449.
Not bad, congrats!
That's why I didn't even go to the AR's. Just looked at the guy behind the counter, muttered something I won't repeat under my breath and told him I'll take it. Another employee walks past right then and says "that didn't take long, we just put it in the case".
Sigh
I have done that many times. There always seems to be a deal.
