"Money no object", the OP said???

Money can always find a way...
Plenty ammunition out there for sale too.
Plenty of loading components for sale, some at prices below pre-Nov retail, if know where to look.

Armalite AR-10 A2 rifle probably cost you same or less than an AR-15. Buy a Lee Progressive handloader and dies, scale. tjconevera.com last week, still had bullet & brass combo deals. Reliable people selling good product. Buy 3 or 4 of those deals, then find a couple bricks of primers (winchester WLR large rifle type) and any of about 8 or 10 powders. One pound of powder will load about 175 rounds. If carefully assembled, according to Sierra Handloading Manual data you will have premium quality match ammunition.

Buy a basic Trijicon ACOG 4x battlesight w/integral carryhandle mount and .308/7.62x51 NATO reticle. Sight your rifle's iron sights in to be 3" or 4" high at 100yds and you have a Battle Sight Zero that places rounds within 6" out to 300/325 yds. Sight the ACOG in to work with the reticle hash marks.

Get a 20" barreled gun, no shorties. Be sure to buy Armalite and get their chrome-lined basic barrel.


Since money is no object, you also buy a quality Colt, older Kimber, Springfield Armory, or S&W 1911 type pistol in .45acp. The pistol should be 5" standard length and have adjustable sights. You also buy loading dies for it and a Jonathan Ciener or Kimber .22LR Conversion Kit to practice with and have a .22 pistol available when need one. Buy a few bricks of carton-pack 50rd boxes of .22lr solids.

Money really no object? You also buy a short-barreled .45acp for concealed carry unless you are big enough stature to conceal the full-sized 1911. And get a Ruger mkII 5.5" heavy barrel .22 pistol and couple spare mags as well or a Browning Buckmark for small game or rat/vermin shooting.


An AR-15 if loaded with 75/77gr match ammunition (handload yourself) is another option.

Would buy the loading gear RFN. Ebay, Gunbroker, Midsouth, Wideners, midwayusa, Natchezss, Brunos, Russ Haydens, and try your local indy gunshops.

Find some spare parts on ar15.com

Plenty deals out there.
Plenty guys think the gun-run is about hoarders and that supplies will catch-up to demand in 6 or 8 mos. They ain't gonna pay "gouger" prices...

My advice is to buy what you need ASAP and buy more; can always trade or sell later. Components are better than gold.


Really MNO? Get yourself a nice heavy barrel .308win for precision longrange and a good quality mil-dot scope. $10K ought to have you well-set for everything...
