Get an AR and some mags, you will love it. Like they say it is cheaper to shoot. And you can get various uppers in diffrent cal.. I have 9mm, .45apc, and 7.62x39 uppers. Lots of fun. If you are in Texas go to Academy Sports and put one on layway, they have good prices.

Here is a link to find a store close.

I did pick up a Bushmaster a3 at my local academy last year, but the guy said it was the only one he had ever seen just usualy a2 setups.

Sorry, I did not notice that you were looking for a RRA. These are nice as they come with larger fore grip, hogue pistol grip their match trigger and crome lined barrel (I think optional).

As far as the A3 flat top they also offer a version for eotch and other makers with backup iron sites. But you probably know this as I am sure you researched it.

If you are looking to get one give the following guys a call they are local Texas dealer, go to lots of gun shows in Austin, Houston and SanAntonio. I purchase many guns from them and they will do a layaway. I think last time I saw an a3 with crome barrel was going for around $900. Good Guys never had a problem with them
