Did you include magazines? If there’s no extra payment for magazines I’m not including any

Nope. I stripped everything that wasn't functional, so all qd mounts, irons, anything that isn't a core functional component. The gun needs to be "fully assembled" so things like triggers and bolts should be included. I swapped any part of value, like geissele triggers, out with the cheapest mil-spec stuff i had, same thing with pistol grips and such.

No problem at all, hang on to that cash and invest it so that when better days come we can buy all the cool shit again lol. Took me about 2 weeks to get my direct deposit
