AR Picture Thread

Waiting on my upper. Then: sling and T1.

Where do you guys get those at?
Pic thread:

I had two of them sent to me a while back from UCWRG. They said they were going to produce more along with other AR stuff, but I haven't heard jack from them since I got the two lowers on T&E. They are good lowers, better than most of the lowers floating around. They have a tension screw for the upper in case you are worried about upper play/slop and they have a captive take down spring in the back. They were also cut with an engraving laser instead of a bit so the points on the umbrella are sharp and all the engravings are uniform. The anodizing held up to a screw driver really well too.

After being away from the AR platform for about 3 years, I thought it was time to get back in. This time I intend to keep the set-up with HD in mind.

This is only the third ARI5 I've ever owned. I recently purchased it from a good friend. He was cleaning out his closet and decided to sell most of his armament. I took it off his hands for a $375. At the time of purchase it was a bare bones M4rgery. As you can tell I've ordered and installed a few aftermarket accessories. I've got a Leatherwood CMR on the way, along with a SR07 switch for the light.

Future Mods I'm considered include a Mid-length FF quad rail system (YHM) and a good Trigger assembly.

I really like the UTG takedown case. Not a bad case at all, specially for only $29.

Here's a few recent photos..

We took it out to the Range this past weekend and had a great time. We were able to bore sight the irons to hit paper at 100 yards pretty quick. Once on paper, the sights were adjusted as best we could and we were able to shoot about 2-3 MOA. Not too bad, I guess.

The conditions for punching paper were near perfect. We were also taking our time with each shot. As you know, it helps tremendously when you have good ammo to boot. Horny 55 gr.TAP is the Cat's Meow..!

My vision has really taken a dump these last few years and i was having a little trouble focusing on the targer while pulling focus on the sights. Heck, I was just happy to know that I was hittng paper at 100 yards.
At that point we decided to see what we could do with the rifle at a closer distance so we packed everything up and walked over to the 25 yard range. My oldest son shot multiple 0.25" groupings (1 MOA) and my youngest son an I were constantly shooting 0.50" groupings.

Before leaving we rapid fired the rifle to test reliability and it perfomed flawlessly. Absolutely no issues to report. All in all a great day at the Range.

I'm really looking forward to receiving the CMR. I'm hoping my groups will shrink a little more.

Couple of questions.

If HD is the primary role, why the CMR vs something like an aimpoint?

And if low cost was the goal why the quad vs a straight plastic hand-guard?

You remind me of Brann Dailor from Mastodon, BCMJunkie.

Lol you know youre the second person to tell me that hahaha!

Good questions.

The Variable CMR optic (1-4x24) adds versatility and it's relatively inexpensive. The quad rail gives me multiple positions and options for light and hand grip accessory placement. It's also an inexpensive modification.

I stated that the rifle was being built with HD in mind, as opposed to owning a rifle built or purchased specifically for long range paper punching.

Been there, done that.
