The Tasco Pro Point was added later during one of my high tech phases.

Looks like an AK-74 muzzle brake too.

The brake is one of the 5.5 inch versions of the AK brake pinned and welded onto the barrel.

With this rifle I learned about the hazards of using baking lacquer in my wife's
oven. :eek:

ME two, I graduated in 1988. I assembled my first one in 1987. My first was on an Essential Arms lower w/many Colt and 'Quality Parts' (Bushmaster) in an AR15A2 configuration (20"). But I shot M16s since 1975, Dad was active duty USMC Infantry from 1970-1992 and used to take me shooting a lot especially when he was at Quantico Firepower/PM Ground Weapons.

Damn, I'm getting old, graduated in '86 , then 6 years in the Corps '86-'92.

Old:confused: :eek:

I remember strolling through a Court Days in Central/Eastern Kentucky in '84 and looking at ARs just like that one, minus the scope.

You guys are kinda making me feel a little old here. In 1984 I had been out of the Navy for 10 years. :eek:
