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 routine lady-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?

For ARs nowadays I think .300 "blackout" sounded appealing.

I've never shot 5.56 somehow. Lapua, BMG, 7.62x39, 7.62x54, and some shotgun/pistol calibers I'm uncertain of.

Just get 5.56. Blackout is for running suppressors and being a cool operator dude.

My advice is always going to be to get the most boring and common gun.

Can confirm. I did some range time with suppressed 300BLK and I did feel like a cool operator dude. skeleton-guns-akimbo

Co-signing to get 5.56. 300BLK is expensive AF to shoot.
