Affordable as in 2K? I'd like to live in your neighborhood. As far as the minis, if they go back to the five to six hundred they should cost, I might buy one.

If the P-Mags cost $200 each them maybe the whole package would be worth $1995.

Everyone knows the sugg price is always higher than in the local shops. Hell a LWRC is about $2,899 and SIG 556 is a POS.

Say what? ? ? ?

Lucy, you got some 'splanin' to do.

PS: My Sig 556 was all of $1200. Granted, at that time, DPMS' were 6-700, but still . . .

Look anything based on an AK piston gas system will work just fine. The sig556 is a joke i have no love for it. My M1 out shot the POS and used a real caliber. The 556 is good but 7.62x51mm is golden, heck i dont need optics to run the gun like the sig and the cheap irons on the sig are a joke. They had to come out with replacement irons to fix the lack of useful sights.

unless there is a huge demand for a certin gun, prices here are 5-25% less then MSRP.  normally in the 10-15 range.

This is still risky move Ruger's part. I am fairley confident, for reasons I've previously explained, that we won't see an AWB passed barring some X factor. By confident, I'm not buying an overpriced AR or hoarding hi-cap mags. Confident enough to spend millions on R@D and machining costs, well........The thing is they better hope for a military contract or a number of LEO  offers. One of the things that makes the gun innovative, the ability to adjust the gas port, I'm not sure if the brass will see that as a pro or a con to put into the hands of grunts. I wiish them well.
