I'm perfectly satisfied with my B model. That said if you ordered an A for the specific reason of using P mags then your dealer should square you away. I just noticed Uncle Armalite posted today and said there will be A's in stock next week but not many. If your dealer gets right on the phone in the morning he may get one. Don't go shoot the B unless you are keeping it, you just won't want to give it up after you get a taste of what they can do!
The p-mag use is the only difference and honestly as well built as the regular Armalite magazines are you'll be hard pressed to wear one out, I've done 90% of my shooting with one 15 round mag never cleaned it and it works like new. If you buy them in 5 packs the price difference is not that much. If your going to stockpile 200 magazines for the rifle then the A might be the best for you but short of that it should be a wash.
I'm nearing 1,000 rounds of all sorts of different loads in my B and have had 0 issues with function, the heart just grows fonder
. No matter which way you go it won't even be a little mistake!

Yea kinda grows on ya don't it? and as for the mags well the plastic ones may be cheaper in the short run, but those steel ones will out last them, and be cheaper in the long run.

I have a model 'B' and have never had a issue with the steel magazines 
. Enjoy it like everyone else has said. I looked at all of the .308 platform semi autos including DPMS, LaRue and LMT. The Armalite had the "right look" and feel to it. A couple of my friends said it was way too cool when they saw this firearm and guys at the gun range feel the same. :lol:
