All you need now is a F/A lower and your collection would be a little more complete. Also a Colt x4 scope would help too along with a side mounted starlight scope. But very nice.

I have a Colt 4x20 scope. Not into the F/A thing since I have nowhere near me that I can shoot it on F/A. Not much sense in having something like that of which you cannot enjoy. A Starlight scope would be sweet to have, but again, not practical for me. BTW, the last time I used a Starlight scope was on a M16A1 back in 1979.

Damn impressive. Thanks for sharing. Any that you favor more than the others? Or is that like asking which is your favorite kid?

It is kind of like that. I have an affinity for all of them.

Makes since with your situation with the F/A. lol I just forget that not everyone else has 1000 acres of land as I do to shoot guns and other things.

Cool. The Colt retro on "Fargo" was lethal.

Cuban model AR10 made in 1957. It is a C&R gun and was transferred directly to me after a year's wait. I think it was UPS that delivered it and it was left on my doorstep with no signature.

The gun is nearly un-fired and came with the original leather sling. However, the sling is tucked away somewhere so that it does not degrade in the dryness of the gun safe.

This is the early sub 7lb gun with no provision for mounting a bayonet or using a blank fire adapter. Many folks think the barrel is aluminum but the Dutch made the weight low using highly fluted steel barrels. The flutes are scary.

Here is my Vietnam era "Rubber Duck" Training Rifle with Imperial M7 bayonet. The CK forge code dates it to the 1972-73 time frame.

This heavy barreled AR10 was developed in 1959 by Artillerie Inrichtingen for use by the Dutch Marines. There might have been only a dozen or so made. This particular rifle is built on a US made Specialty Arms semi auto lower receiver manufactured in about 1984. The remainder of the gun is 100% original.
