How many people on here really own an AR ?

I am not an expert on ARs, having said that, I did carry one for Uncle Sam ( 35 yrs. ago ) and I do own a couple now. Many of the posts on here show a total lack of knowledge from people who talk as if they own and shoot ARs every day. anyone else agree ?

haha I don't own one. Thought about it, but then decided on a "Varmit" rifle. [sniper] get it? We had a thread about the SHTF rifle, and it just makes more sense to be able to terminate people from a farther distance than to get up close and nitty gritty. Besides, remember that hottie Sniper in FMJ, you can be her friend. Sucky sucky five bullets. long time.

I have happily owned 5 ARs in different configurations over the years.

I currently own one which is a Model 1 kit built on EA lower - a pre ban CAR - 16" HBAR.

I smith ARs for others

I do enjoy shooting and smithing them a great deal and also enjoy introducing ARs to other shooters. It is a design that was ahead of it's time. It has been maligned by some because of problems early in it's history that were due not to the weapon itself but slow burning powder fouling the gas tube and hence creating various jamming problems. Once this was remedied, it performed as it was designed to and served our armed forces well in addition to countless civilians all over the world.

Can you tell that I am fond of ARs?

Hopefully, Garryowen and I can work a pending deal so I can get a couple of cav-lowers,
sell my Bush and Oly,
and get DPMS components for the cavs...

Ahhhhhhhh. Wet Dream.

I just got my first AR.

BM 14.5" M-4 w/KKF "long" brake, flattop with an Aimpoint Comp M and ARMS #40.

I bought the upper from the Equipment Exchange forum, and JC ordered the lower for me.

I absolutely love this rifle...wish I had a camera to post some pics.

I have an old SP1 that I've built up. Only NEED one, but have almost enough parts to put together another. We'll see.

Down to just two now, my Oly M4 and my Oly snipAR/vARmint rifle. Have owned 5 though, 1 PWA commando, 1 EA 16" carbine, 1 Oly A2, and my sniper and M4. Except for my sniper all of them have been preban.

Sold the PWA, Sold the A2 Oly, and traded the EA for a match grade Springfield M1 garand. Thinking about getting another preban a buddy of mine wants to sell, but don't have the $$ for it really.

Actually built 2 more for friends but can't really say I "owned" them.

According to ArmaLite there are 8,000,000 AR's
out there. I have noticed a few people on this board own more than a few. If the board members
are representative of the entire set of AR owners then there are probably 2,000,000
individual AR owners.

One and a half.

First was a Bushy Dissipator Flat top.

Then discovered the wonderful world of High Power. So I got a RRA DCM upper, tuned up by John Holliger (Thanks John!).

Bought the first of nine pre bans from Springfield Armory (il.) many moons ago before they stepped on someones toes.they were all machined from a billet and had square edges, the worst part was they were $10 more than everybody elses $59.00! Those were the days...

Thanks for the complement. I got the gas block from Gunsmoke Ent. it came as a Stainless Steel gas block with no mention of manufacture. It does closely resemble the gas block MetalCraft makes. But not sure if it is there's or not.

Again thanks.

I got one and I'll have another, just as soon as the LEGP rifle comes in.

I have a Bushmaster XM15 E2S 20" H-BAR.

[#44]

I used to have a preban PWA & a Colt SP1, but I sold them and bought a RR AR15 conversion, so I could play with the NFA boys.

I'd like to own another AR, but the ATF says that if I own an AR, that I'm automatically a felon, since I have several short (<16") uppers, and I'd be in possesion of "an unregistered short barreled rifle". Since I don't want to buy another preban rifle (since all my uppers have flash hiders) to turn into an SBR, I'll just stick with buying uppers.

So far I've got:

20" A1 profile upper
14.5" Bushmaster M4 upper
11.5" A2 upper
10.5" Colt 9mm SMG upper
10.5" KKF dedicated .22LR upper (slick side M16)

I'd like to have another AR, but I just can't justify the fundage for a preban + $200 tax to uncle sam.

my first gun ever,is my new M4 carbine.
Made by a former Army gunsmith friend of mine,it's has a RRA lower,and the rest is all high quality DPMS parts.Has a 16" HB-barrel,a3 flattop,colt handle,large M4 handguards,Vortex muzzle brake/flash hider,along with some of his personal refinements (he knows EVERYTHING about the AR,inside and out)
If I did'nt buy this sweet one,I would have probably ended up buying a mass-produced BushMaster.Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I saw one in a gun store one time, but my mom won't let me hold it.

I read all of Imbroglio's posts and make my comments based on them.
