This is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
My rifle is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my rifle is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless. I must fire my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than my enemy who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will... My rifle and I know that what counts in war is not the rounds we fire, the noise of our burst, nor the smoke we make. We know that it is the hits that count. We will hit... My rifle is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strength, its parts, its accessories, its sights and its barrel. I will keep my rifle clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready. We will become part of each other. We will... Before God, I swear this creed. My rifle and I are the defenders of my country. We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of my life. So be it, until victory is America's and there is no enemy, but peace! 
I am a midlength Rock River LAR15 that belongs to Houseofmoto. I am chambered in 5.56 NATO and sport a 1:9 chrome lined twist barrel with a RRA AR15 BCG. An Aimpoint Pro and RRA stand alone rear are my aiming components. A Geissele G2S trigger and Spikes ST2 buffer reside in my lower receiver along with RRA internals. I am wearing a Magpul MOE+ grip in black, and a Houseofmoto gray Rit Dyed Commercial stock. A BFG Kryptek sling, an IWC hand guard QD mount, and Midwest Industries swivels allow Houseofmoto to carry me hands free. I illuminate with a Polytac by Streamlight held with an IWC Mount on my standard hand guard. IMI 193 resides in the OD Magpul 30 round windowed magazine inside my magwell. I have over 2000 rounds thru me. I've seen two carbine courses and many range trips. I failed once when Federal XM193 made in 2008 popped a primer and locked in my barrel bolt lug area. I've never failed since I switched to IMI and Speer. In fact I could do a thousand of them easily. I exist to protect Houseofmoto's family, yet I am just a tool. I will be taken to more training and used hard. I will be upgraded with what works for Houseofmoto. I am his post 556.
