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 ak47 and equipment and training with it alongside my gym routinelady-doge

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” janet-wink 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?

    I mean, I have like two grand squirreled away and was pining for a fancy rifle which is why I made the post lol

    A 10/22 wouldn’t be a bad idea though, or a .22LR AR

      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.
