I bought my first AR15 back in 2004. I had been shooting M16s since 1978. After I bought this first AR, I started modifying it. The next thing I knew, I wanted another and another. Over the past 11 years, I have owned a little over four dozen ARs, built a little over three dozen of them, and sold/traded a few here and there for cash or other guns. I finally got to a point in 2013 that I said I was going to stop selling my ARs. So, I started selling and trading some of my 1911s that I no longer wanted or needed to acquire more ARs. The ARs are a large part of my overall collection (30%). My WWII collection (rifles and handguns) makes up about 20% and my other rifles and handguns make up the rest. So, essentially, I have built my AR collection up in 11 years and I am not done yet. I am getting ready to embark on another retro AR build (XM16E1). Just an FYI, up until October of 2012, I had 175 firearms in my collection. For now, I only have 111.
