AR Picture Thread

[Harrier]

Here's my version of a recon rifle. The previous owner had it built up but never fired it. There are a few changes I might've made...maybe a better trigger, and I'm not 100% sure I would've gone for a rail (but it does look good, though, doesn't it?). I had the ACOG already from one of my earlier rifles (I had it on a FS2000 where it worked out well). I really like the eye relief and light weight, although the 3X is a little limiting. ACOGs are hard to come by in Canada and you kind of have to go with what you find. Looking forward to trying it out!

Love the look of that rail. What are your thoughts on it?

I really like the feel (although I've only had the rifle for about five hours!)-- two of my previous ARs had regular A2 handguards and this feels very similar, almost not a like a rail system. My other AR had an ARMS rail on it -- I like this much better.

The gap between the top rail and the left panel also gives a nice spot for my support hand's thumb. The rail's weight also helps balance out the UBR too -- it's a well-balanced rifle, much nicer than my old 20" HBAR, which was a bit of a beast (especially with a pound and a half of Elcan sight). I probably won't mount anything else on the rails, I'm not super crazy about forward grips on anything longer than a 10.5" or 11.5 rifle, although I am a little intrigued about the new Magpul angled grip.

I sure am glad there's at least 8 miles between me and CA...

Is that an M&P15X? If so, do you mind if I ask how much you got it for?

I got the same rifle through the S&W 40% mil discount. It took about 3 months from when I ordered, but I think it turned out to be a pretty good deal.

Thanks!

It is indeed a 15x.

I bought it from my son-in-law for $800, including the Magpul mag and the forend grip. Only 200 rounds through it.

Decent deal for me I think. So with your 40% discount you must be in that ballpark. I don't know what my son-in-law paid for it new.

It seems like an AR of very nice quality.

Interesting build, neat! But, your crush washer is on backwards!

Just curious, but: Is there any particular reason why there is a backup sight at an 45° angle? If there was a magnifying optic on top I could understand it as a short range sight, but I can't see the point in this setup. Why not using any normal flipup sights?

the point is speed. think about eye transition to a rear BUIS.

[ROGOPGEAR]

the point is speed. thing about eye transition to a rear BUIS.

so you can switch from your non-magnified red dot to your non-magnified iron sights quickly?
