View Full Version : how many AR's do you own
I currently have only one complete Rifle, kind of an everyday home defense and range weapon. But I’m building two other’s; One with a spikes 22LR conversion, that way I can use it as a BU or practice rifle and another one as a tack driver. But I have enough parts, that if I got another barrel I could build a fourth. That got me thinking am I just wasting my money on weapons I don’t need?
So how many AR’s do you guys own, and should I build a 4th?
10 stripped lowers, 2.5 completed rifles. :D
Total of two AR's. The first one is a 7.5" SBR and the second is a 16.1" carbine.
I have four doublestar lowers with RRA LPKs, one I made into a 9mm carbine
I also have a RRA Entry Tac with the 2 stage trigger and ACOG TA33, so technically I have 5
Yesterday I received a new BCM Carbine upper and Omega rail:D. Now I just have to decide if I am going to but the BCM with the ACOG on the RRA lower or on one of the doublestars.
My first, an RRA CAR-4, is now unofficially my wife's.
My second is an LMT 16" carbine, my all-around shooter.
My beloved third is an 18" Cardinal Armory upper (now defunct) in 6.8SPC on a RRA lower that is a tackdriver.
And one LMT SOPMOD lower that I have in storage, but I'm sure eventually will end up with a Noveske or Larue upper if I ever move to an SBR-friendly state.
1 right now, but I hope she was pregnant at time of purchase:D
J.R.
3 complete (Charles Daly, Stag, Bushmaster) and 2 more Charles Daly lowers, 2 DPMS LPK's, 2 Stag tele stock sets, 2 DPMS complete BCG's and will start thinking about what to buy as a hat for those lowers this fall. One should go as a SBR for sure, the other may go the opposite direction as a long barrel groundhog/racoon destroyer. Consider it a back yard sniper build...LOL!
More than I probably need. Not as many as I'd like. ;)
3 complete and 2 more waiting to be built.
Novekse 16.1 Recon
DD M4 Carbine
PD15 piston upper/LMT lower
BCM 11.5 "constructive intent upper"/ LMT lower
Noveske N4 Switchblock 16" upper/ Armalite lower
Hee hee, I love this thread!
Arrington Accuracy DCM rifle
Noveske Afghan Uppers in 6.8 and 556, over Noveske lower
ADC 16in Upper over Rock River lower
LWRC M6A2 16in over LMT lower
Noveske N6 18 inch upper built on DPMS lower
I know that owning all these ARs might not be healthy behavior, but I'm ok with it. My wife is pretty permissive with my AR buying, her only rule is that I not bring them into the bed at night.
Currently two.
A LMT 10.5 SBR on a RRA lower, and a BCM 16" Middy on a Sabre lower.
Now all I need is a 20" just cause and an SPR type. Oh yeah, and a 9mm SBR. And a .22LR. And a .308. And a 6.8SPC....
Jeez. I didn't realize I was so far behind! :D

+1
Same problem I have.
You gotta have a light weight carbine. You gotta have a varmint. You gotta have a National Match. You gotta have an all-round middy. And, of course, you're stuck with the first rifle you got before the fever set in and you learned all this stuff.
I have the first of three that I am planning on getting.
I have a BCM 16" Middy on a RRA lower now.

I have three. Two SBR's (10.5 LMT over an LMT lower and a 11.5 BCM over a Noveske lower) One Mid-length (BCM over a Noveske lower).
Once Grant gets in his BCM lower pre-orders I'll have a BCM 16 Carbine on it and keep it bone stock just 'cuz.

DAMM!:eek: Can I come to your house when the SHTF? Now I don’t feel so crazy about spending on my AR habit.:D
After reading these replies, I’m feeling kinda left behind. I guess I will build a forth, Thanks for all the replies guys keep the info coming.

Crap, I forgot, I also have a Rock River 9mm that I use for shooting steel up close (cheaper than frange), a JP 22 upper, and a Rock River 6.8 upper that I did my first Duracote job on.
Plus 3 Airsofts: ICS M4 14.5, Model 1 CQB model 10 inch, Model 1 HK 416
I love my Airsofts cuz I can shoot them while I cookout and drink beer in the back yard. (yes, I am "green" I shoot biodegradable bb's)
Yes, my neighbors do hate me. :D

I own a few

one has a fun switch.
I have 6 AR's. I have 3 Natoinal Match rifles, that I have built. 2 precision AR that I have built and a Carbine that I built. I'm getting ready for another carbine, this one is going to be a 6.8 SPC, just for the fun of it. I'm also looking at a Mark 12 Mod 0 SPR build soon. I love the dang things, the only other rifle that I like as much is my old M1 Garand, it's just too fun to shoot!
AR-n-Ky
I don't own any guns but if I did I would have 5 AR's
2 Colt carbines
1 CMMG SBR
1 DS "varmint" rifle
1 ArmaLite rifle
...none of your damn business...;)
Mace
What he said.;)
Only been the game since Jan and I have 2 carbines a lightweight & a M4. I am currently building a 11.5 sbr for the 3rd.
I don't have "enough" either :)
3 for now (hopefully more in the future, when the wife calms down :) ):

Very Nice collection Skull. I only have 2.5, so far. But I am planning on at least 1 more after #3 is done. Your "family" provided some additional ideas. Thanks.
SkiDevil:D
One, but shes looking for a partner... ;)
WAY more than I ever intended on owning (haven't even shot them all yet). Enough parts to build many more. Half the fun is designing a build, finding good deals, & watching it all come together.
Now that "change" is upon us and a new world dawns, I decided I no longer need guns, any guns at all, consequently, I have divested myself of same ;). But, I formally had accumulated 8, all Colts...
SP1/20"
Sporter Target A2/20"
Sporter Target HBAR A2/20"/Colt 4x
Match Target HBAR A4/20"/ACOG TAO1/Optima/Surefire M951P
Sporter Match A2/M4/16"/Surefire L60
Match Target A4/M4/16"/EoTech/Surefire M951P
Match Target A4/M4/16"/Aimpoint/Surefire M951P
Match Target Tactical Elite A4/20"/Leupold 3.5x10/Optima/Surefire L60
Came here anyway though:D...
I got rid of all those dangerous things. My wife told me to one day while she was on her way to the beauty shop in the mini-van to drop me off at work.........BS!!!!

The real answer is classified;)
Seriously, my wife loves the AR weapon system and hates mini-vans like a good country girl should!

Two, and I definitely want to get another, but I'm AMAZED how many folks have 4 or more! :eek: That's dedication (and a real job with a real PAYCHECK, apparently! :p)!

They were aquired over a very looong period of time...and many paychecks;)...
Have had the SP1 for 30+ years, the 2 newest M4s almost 5 years...
There was a 10 year hiatus in there that complicated things remember:mad:...
Haven't even considered a new one in the current "climate":(...
It takes enough cash just to feed'em regularly:rolleyes:...

Ahhh, I don't have any weapons. Only the government needs to have firearms......that's crazy talk.
Please forward my statement to BATF and the POTUS.
ah - yea - sold them all off - at guns shows - keeping a 30-30 and a wheel gun...
4 months ago I had 0 ARs, today I have 4. I have seen the light!
First post guys, as most I lurked for a while and joined up last night. I have four and a lower in progress. Three Noveske's and an LWRC the Lower is a Mega
1) 16" Low Pro Recce with TA31ECOS
2) 18" Stainless /switchblock not a complete rifle, built up a stripped lower for it
3) 14.5" N4 Light w/ pinned Surefire
4) 16" M6a2 LWRC with Comp M3
I am infected with the BRD fairly bad I think.

11, but only 8 are completed.

I own one so far. I was building a second but I made the mistake of buying a Roggio Arsenal lower. It was out of spec so I sent it back. Now I have neither a lower or the money I paid for it. Lessen learned the hard way.

As soon as my stripped DD lower arrives next week (and I then assemble it), I'll finally HAVE 4 (with pics to follow)! :D
I have 3+ ( 3 complete guns, and parts for a 4th). I am done for now. Living in CA, anything else I get/build will be hobbled by the gun laws here.:(
A little more than a dozen I think.
