Fwiw, am a really thrifty/frugal broke near hermit
Depression’s improved to the point I’m not concerned with it being a risk to myself and am currently nogunz except for varmint air guns
Considering dropping like two grand on a nice rifle 
and equipment and training with it alongside my gym routine
Debating getting either a KUSA KR-101X or a Keltec RFB and an optic and chest rig/plates and pouches, spare mags, etc for either
The KR-101X is a 5.56 AKM/74 clone that takes AR mags and looks pretty good from what I’ve seen, the RFB is a .308 bullpup DMR (I’m kinda a tankie and a big Halo dork, so both have their appeals)
Live in a state with a 10 round mag restriction, so that’s leaning me towards the RFB.
Thoughts?
Dunno if there’s a loophole for larger mags or a SBR “pistol” 
that might be a better option
Am I being a dumbass?
Should I get a pistol or a .22LR plinker first? Should I not drop a used car price on a rifle I might never have to actually use aside from playing at the range and running drills as a hobby?
@[email protected] pls lend me your wisdom and recs
I see I was leaning to much into the budget thing I guess. An AR despite being IMO the ugliest rifle God ever allowed to be made is prolly the best bet due to ammo and parts availability. As for the high capacity magazine ban I saw this wild stripper clip fed AR with an undetachable magazine used to get around those state bans.
They’re less ugly when spraypainted imo but yeah it’s true
If I could find any excuse at all mine would be cerakoted in barbie pink and bedazzled. : (
True, I talked to a gunsmith at a gun store a while ago and he showed me his AR-15 with wood furniture and a carry handle meant to look like the Service Rifle from Fallout New Vegas, that was pretty dope.
I’ve seen a few people make service rifles. They look really nice.
Eh, the L86 is uglier imo
(so is the Groza, rare Soviet L imho)
The L86 is Britain’s latent guilt over the crimes of empire manifested as something that is technically a weapon.
You are correct bullpups are actually worse, with the L86 being a specifically uggo one.
