I don't mind showing off my pride and joy!  I love my M4 but this is my all-time favorite AR-15.

Pre-ban Bushmaster XM177E2:

Let me get my AK set-up sold and then I can buy one, put it together and post a pick.  Trouble is making up my mind between the XM177 or the CAR-15.  Talk to ya' later.  TN.Frank

I'd give My left nut for a 14.5 skinny COLT barrel.
Where did you find that?

I feel like I’m forgetting something??






THE BARREL!!

It is a Colt 14.5 inch light weight chrome lined in 1/7 twist. I had a Vortex pinned onto the end of it to make it legal.

I looked for one of these barrels for over two years. I finally gave up and got 14.5 inch M4. Then I went to the Reno gun show and a guy is there selling T-shirts and some AR stuff. He has TWO of these barrels on cobbled together uppers. I did not have the money to get it at the show but I took down his info. When I got home I sold one of my uppers and called him up and ordered this one. I have been looking for another one ever since.

Recently I built the upper you see below. I wanted another one of these 14.5 inch light weight 1/7 barrels. Being unable to locate another one I bought a Colt 16 inch light weight and sent it to KKF to have it cut down to 14.5. It is still 16 inches in the pic.

Every now and then I see these barrels come up on the EE. They are usually priced higher than I want to pay. I got mine for $550.00 for the complete upper with the Vortex (not per. Attached) no B/BC.

These arent my CAR's but the one on the right is an friend of mine in the IDF that uses hiw CAR daily

Where did you get that scope gunslinger?

JG sales here in AZ, got it about 1990.
Picked it up for $29.00, 4 power with BDC.

Edited to add:
Just checked their web site, and they still sell them.
It does work well, and is a inexpensie solution to those $300.00+ Colt scopes.
