AR's that is.
I have a few more than I need. I don't have quite as many as I want.
AR's that is.
I personally believe there is a need for at least 3 AR's. Here is my list:
10.5-11.5 for CQB. Believe this should be a chrome lined barrel.
16 for all around purpose (Recce). Believe that a good quality SS barrel should be used.
18-20": for longer range shooting. Believe this should be a SS barrel as well.

Two... both 14.5" barrels and about 1 thousand various weight rounds and 15 magazines.

I have 2 AR's
While I would love to buy more, it just makes more sense economically ( for me ) to buy uppers and save the dough for accessories and ammo.
A 6.8 upper may just be my next big purchase :D

Only have 1 and don't shoot it as much as I would like. Just too damn expensive to shoot nowadays.

One LMT MRP in 16" that is loaded with M960 SF, OTAL Laser, TD VFG, Troy front and rear BUIS, MIAD, MOD Stock, and an EOTEch, all with LaRue Mounts, but feeling the need for another M4 configuration in a more of a KISS format.
Thinking just an LMT 16" M4 upper and lower with 7" DD rail, and a Troy rear BUIS. I can swap my add ons from my other AR as needed. But then agin, I'm feeling like I want to try an Aimpoint.
Oh crap...here I go again!
Get ready Grant...I'm feelin' the itch!

Several but.............................not enough! :D

Same here. Everytime I start toward building another, I realize I barely get to shoot the one I've got.
Hello, My name is Hank and I have this problem...
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid42/pe35720689eb28a6f98f0077ffa75b66f/fcecc5be.jpg
and it gets worse. I'm pretty sure that I have added 2 since I took that picture.
The really bad part it that I barely get to shoot anymore. :(
It sucks I decided I need a SPR to go along with my 16 inchers, last night I decided I need a SBR also. I also got hit with the AK bug also so now im double screwed.
Several but.............................not enough! :D
My motto ;)
i only got one:mad:! and hope that'll change soon!!!

I've got 4 ARs and I'm currently building my SPR/ RECCE rifle, I want to have at least 6 to 8.
My ARs:
LMT Defender 2000 M4 16" barrel
Colt AR6721 AR-15A3 Tactical Carbine with GTS-Rock Creek Operator midlength 16" barrel
Colt M16A2 upper half & Colt M16A2 buttstock group on Colt Match Target HBAR lower receiver
RRA A4 9mm 16" carbine
10 Colt carbines 5 6520, 3 6920, 2 MT6400(de-Klintonistanized)
Just bought my first. Man I'm gonna have to get started reloading ... ammo is getting crazy!
2 both 14.5.
Tan one is a RRA 1/9 Hbar shortend by Noveskie to 14.5 on an old cast DPMS lower.
Black is a LMT 14.5 on a LCW lower.
http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd221/R_D_/P1060318.jpg
7 complete with enough parts to build up 2 more but not in the configuration that they will end up as.
Just got the stamp for my 12.5" 6.8SPC
Just a few of 'em

I own 2.
A Sabre Defence with a 16" bbl and 12" free float Troy rail, Magpul MIAD and EOTech sight, Troy BUIS and flip up front sight.
A Colt LE 6920 with a VLTOR rail system, Aimpoint ML2 on an ARMS mount, VLTOR stock.
Planning on getting either an LMT SBR which I will build or maybe a Colt LE 6933, as soon as I set up my trust, etc...., or maybe BOTH!!!:D :D :D
Oh and I have to get approval from the wife for any more AR's...:rolleyes:
But I don't have BRD.......really..........no seriously..........:D

Wouldnt a good bolt action sniper rifle be a better option for long range shooting? I am new to ARs so be kind with your reply:eek:

Depends on use its intended for.

There are quite a few well built 5.56x45 AR's that will match or exceed the accuracy of many precision bolt guns at ranges up to 600yds with the right ammo and a skilled shooter. The 6.5 Grendel will move that range out to 1000yds.
Only one that's completely done. I have a 9mm carbine lower finished with the mag block and internals, just waiting for the upper (or to save the pennies for same), and a couple stripped lowers awaiting the attention span and money to turn them into functional rifles.

Sure, there are some 5.56mm AR's that will drive tacks, but they won't drive a man down at 600 yds reliably. I think that you're going to run out of terminal ballistics after 300 yds or so with a 5.56mm., especially with a mid length or an M4. You just won't get any expansion.
If we're talking about 600 +yard sniper applications, IMHO it needs to be .30 cal minimum, and prefereably a .300 Win Mag. Past 1,000 yds. it's time to break out the .50 Cal.
I know we can discuss .308's and its' virtures all day long, and I love the cartridge...but if you have a choice at long range....bigger is better, again IMHO.
I have 2 and I'm selling one. Saving up for a SOCOM16.

Shame on you for selling your AR lol. I guess its ok if its a bottom feeder.
Three one 6.8 and two 5.56s
1 AR15 and a OLL lower that I am going to turn into a M4 as near as possible as I am able to do so as I live in California
Sadly one one at the moment, but I hope to have at least two more by the end of 2008.
Colt LE Carbine, Essential Arms J-15, and a Stoner SR-25 (if that counts).
Right now I have 2 finished, a 16in M4, and a 7.5 pistol.
I have one half built with an A2 stock, I’m just waiting for the $ to finish the upper, and buy a nice trigger for it. And I have 2 stripped lowers I got in a local group buy, one I decided to build a 14.5 M4 w/perma FH, the other I don’t know yet.
I'm kinda thinking I want a 11.5in SBR, but I think I want my first NFA item to be a suppressor.
Silly BRD. :D
I'm down to one. (I've had as many as 8 at one time) And I haven't even seen in for nearly a year. :( I had to move to Germany last year for work and I have a friend send me pics from time to time. He takes it to the range occasionally and cleans/re-lubes it as necessary.
If I could figure out a way to get a stripped lower in Germany, I'd be in high cotton, but it'll be another year or two until we are reunited....

:eek: NO MAGS!!! I am sure we can find some way to remedy that problem.
;)
Rest assured there are plenty of mags. for them. :p Besides, I've got Grant on my speed dial if it looks like I'm running low. :D
BTW, I took a new count and only one more has shown up. :(

Not enough. Need to add a few more. I have 2.5 right now.
My wife has one A3, I have one bull barrel 24" A3 with a 16" Upper in the works now... I'm waiting on Grant to put all the parts together and test it! So I guess I have 1.5 right now and my wife has one... This site has not help my affliction with EBR's :rolleyes:

And I just added one last week that I don't have a pic of yet, it's yet another precision rifle specifically for benchrest target matches with a 26" WOA varmint barrel. First group was under 0.10" second group was under 0.25"... and the barrel is not even broken in yet nor have I worked up a load specifically for this gun :D
Geez, Griz.
You have some kind of Optic fetish! :eek:

Currently One (SPR Clone)
Building 1 1/2 more - SBR 10.5" barrel LMT upper and Colt M4 Socom upper on the same receiver (for now). The M4 has permanently attached FH to get to 16".
I personally believe there is a need for at least 3 AR's. Here is my list:
10.5-11.5 for CQB. Believe this should be a chrome lined barrel.
16 for all around purpose (Recce). Believe that a good quality SS barrel should be used.
18-20": for longer range shooting. Believe this should be a SS barrel as well.

Same idea but different thought process. Here are my three POW'S.
AR#1-The cheapest one I could find. Money was a little tight in the Army. Note: VERY Close to the 15000 round count. But I still won't recommend this brand to anyone. I'm just one guy with one cheap AR.
AR#2-This was going to be the one. Making enough money to get what I wanted. But it couldn't be a Colt because thats to much like being back in the Army. Thing is, I rushed into it and didn't notice that the carrying handle was welded to the upper Receiver. Gave it my 12 yo son.
AR#3-Finally I talked to enough people and spent enough time at these five day commando courses to do it right this time. Still can't bring myself to pay for a Colt. So I convinced myself that xxx and xxx are just as good, they really are. Besides if I get a Colt I won't have enough money left for those Green Rail Covers. With Patience I didn't think I possessed. I finally assembled all the best parts, the upper and lower that is. Done.
How much are Colts going for these days? A friend of mine wants to know:D
I hate to admit it, but I only have one.
2:
Colt R6601 Match HBAR (soon to be replacing the upper receiver with a Daniels Defense flattop and swapping out the FSB for just a gas block, mounting a scope, probably a Super Sniper)
Stag 3H upper on a Stag lower with Aimpoint ML3 on a GG&G mount, Sampson front sight and ARMS 40 rear. Will be installing Daniels Defense Omega rail one of these days.
I have enough AR's but not nearly enough training.;)
Oh boy! Never enough! But anway...
#1 AR15A1-SGW receiver and every thing else on it Colt Military surplus. My Retro rifle and only because I put it together over 20 years ago. Absolutely an M16A1 copy short of being full auto. Same version of weapon I trained on in ARMY basic lo those many years ago. It always shoots good groups and has never quit.
#2 AR15A2- Full Bushmaster. Built it after the Army converted to A2's. Another that shoots good groups and it looks like I'll get to use it in some Nat'l Guard matches coming up(I hope!)
#3 AR15M4A3- SGW receiver and every thing else Bushmaster. Built it after 9/11. The receiver on this weapon is an NFA receiver done by Frankford Arsenal when they were still in buisness. Originally on Rifle #1. Weapon runs great although from what I've been able to read, it shouldn't, or will break any moment, or the parts brand are all crap, etc., etc.
#4 AR15M4A3- DPMS receiver and every thing else Bushmaster. My Patrol rifle. Got it w/a 16" barrel(Patrolman's carbine). This weapon gets all the goodies. EOtech 552, MI forearm, G,G&G MAD site, Magpull CTR. Shot it today after installing a heavier buffer and the damn thing gave me a 1/2" group at 50yds. I have run it thru several tact classes and never any problem other than a loss carrier key. ordered a MOAKS-jr and solved that problem fast.
Got to play with a Calvary Arms receiver yesterday and WOW! was it light! Thinking of trying one for a Patrol Rifle as I am tired of playing with collapsing stocks. I think they are a PITA.
As Serling used to say "Submitted for your approval" JL Out.
One at the moment, my 6933. Am thinking of adding a 6721 to the stable as soon as my CC's catch their breath. After that, and IF I ever find the Colt upper for it for sale, a Colt M16A4 clone like my last issued rifle. Figured I would add that upper to the 6721 lower and add the A2 stock. Then just use the 16" upper on my SBR lower for plinking.
So I should end up with 2.5 to 3 ARs!
Zero, they all sank with the boat. ;) :p :D
4.
1 Colt 6920, 1 Colt Green Label AR15 A2, 1 RRA 11.5" SBR, 1 LMT Defender. If I had the money I would probably have a couple more.

A colt 6920, a right handed Stag and a LWRC. Only two have been sighted in and none are really tested yet.
The colt will probably be my fighting gun, while the other two will be for training.
