I haven't opened up one of my safes in so long so when I did I found my first rebuild custom AR rifle. it is an old oly arms I got back when I was 18. damn that was 12 years ago. It has been much the same but I added the rail system in 2000 to replace the old smooth FFT. I got the barrel in the 90's when it was hard and expensive to get an M-4 barrel. painted the rifle and scope when I moved to the desert in 99. I haven't shot this rifle in probably 2 years. I feel like a dead beat dad. I need to go throw some brass on the ground with it. I have taken probably 12 yotes with it and it has had some massive rounds go throught the tube.
just wanted to show it off James

I always file teh ARs as just ARs in my memory. I have been giving the Aks most of my time as of lately, I guess.
I have no time to shoot lately and when I do I usualy am doing load development for farther reaching toys. Kind of sad I know. James |

Looks great, but you really need to shoot it. It looks lonely.  WIZZO |

Cool looking rig, esp. for a first time build. You gotta bond more with her, she does look forlorn.

I've actually had dreams (real when I was sleeping dreams) that I went in the safe and found guns I forgot I owned. To date it has yet to actually happen. I suppose if I keep buying it may sometime in the future. later, AJ |

I took her on a horrible trip. Family emergency my mother had a stroke. I was able to take a brake from the fun and made it to a stretch of gov land and gave her a serious workout of 550 rounds. Never skipped a beat. damn I remeber why I built this thing like this.
