I am brand-spanking-new to the AR platform.  I purchased a DPMS Panther Oracle, and like it.
But, I have been bitten by the AR bug!  I have ordered a Colt LE6920 from Budsgunshop.com.

Please, someone talk me out of owning 2-ARs!

2?

Newbie.

Next you'll need an SPR, then an SBR, then a can for the SBR, then a bumpSAW, then a .300BLK, then a .458 SOCOM, and before you know it, your ARs occupy 90% of the free space in your home and your wife is filing for a divorce

Do you have an AR pistol yet? Better get one of those. And one with a 18" or 20" barrel to set up for shooting distances. And then at least one in ONE of the THREE other popular calibers, 6.5 Grendel, 6.8 SPC, or .300 AAC. Oh, and don't forget a big bore in .450 Bushmaster, .458 SOCOM, or .50 Beowulf.

Welcome.

I have about as much self control with ARs as a fat kid at a bake sale.


Good choice on the 6920. If the Oracle pleases you , you will really like the Colt.

Can't sorry. I have a link to where they can help you : link
It should help you out a lot more than ARF

Welcome! I'm not new to AR's but I am rekindling my interest in them. I only have two at the moment but I'm sure that will change soon.

Buy some tools and start building them. It becomes Legos.

Lol....   I doubt anyone on this board will do that.   Just wait until you get the itch to build one.     I started with a RRA Elite Operator in 5.56, now I have three in 5.56, one 7.62x39, 300 black out and in the process of building 458 socom         These are adult legos enjoy.

Sorry, no can do. Already own 4 and have 2 stripped receivers waiting to be built.

You came to the wrong place to be talked out of "get both"

You ask me you're slackin'. 3-4 AR-15 minimum.
Enjoy that Colt. Use the DPMS as a mag dump dispensary. You can rebarrel it when needed.

I am already suffering from the just one more problem.  I have 40-firearms, 26 of them handguns...four 12-guage scatter guns and the rest rifles (.22s, .44 mag carbine, a 7mm mag, 30-30, 45-70 and more), but only two ARs

why in holy hell would we try to talk you out of second? actually, we're a bunch of sick enablers who will talk you into 5 more... you need a good solid one with a free float rail and no A2 sight post, an ar pistol, maybe 3-4 colts for SHTF scenarios. Don't forget about Nibx and nitride BCGs just for good measure, and don't even start about optics :D

I do not understand most of what you said...I have so much to learn!  

I DO know that I want a .308 or .300 Blackout.  Why?  Not so sure, but I certainly have no use for them.  I live in Ohio and can only use straight walled cartridges for hunting.

 You will need some MAGAZINES.
20s, 30s, and a 60 or two ....

1st rule of ARFcom, 2 AR's=1 AR......

Enjoy the 6920. I've 3 myself (or 1.5 in ARFCOM Math ) and would have no problems snagging another if the price was right (and I have a bunch of them I built )
