Nice, when you get magazines for it get Magpul's.
The reason there are so many Ruger upgrades is because they're necessary.

I love this gun. I just wanted a cheaper one for now so I had gone to Wholesale sports (Sportsman's warehouse) but the cheapest one they had was 899.99 so I drove to post falls cuz I had seen online they had a bushmaster for $799.99. Got over there and they had the DPMS for 649.99. Pretty good deal I thought.

Pmags are made by Magpul.  I also highly recommend this and will not risk my life on inferior mags.  I've been buying Pmags and won't go back to the old piece of crap issue mags.  You spend a ton of money on a rifle, what's $12 for a magazine?  The Pmags have been very durable in my experience.  And for those that are into it, they just recently came out with different colors as well.

Sorry haven't checked this in a few days. Yes it's the 5.56 panther "sportical". Pretty accurate gun.
