Well after a couple of weeks of lurking and researching on this site I purchased my first AR. It's a Bushmaster A3 20" HBAR with the full A2 stock (screw the Koolaid). I've only been able to shoot it a few times out at our farm and I've gotten it pretty much sighted in. I'll get it fine tuned on a bench rest one of these days. Its gonna take some time to get used to the iron sights and the grip/trigger combination, I'm used to scoped rifles. This is one of the best informational sites on the Web and I have learned a lot in just a couple of weeks. My Dad used to have an older Colt AR-15 with the triangular forearm but he traded it on a deer rifle for me back when I first started deer hunting. A bad idea IMHO but his intentions were good. Well thanks for all the info and I look forward to learning more about AR's from the experts at AR15.com. Here's a picture of my new toy: http://www.filehigh.com/serve/7477/56362.jpg |

The Black Rifle bug has yet another victim.... next thing you know, you will be buying stripped lowers, mags, ammo, and all sorts of stuff.  Them iron sights will make you a better rifleman. I will double dare you to go shoot a match w/ it. I think that a service rilfle match will show what the gun is capable of - the other end of the spectrum is the CQB stuff. Welcome. Later, Badredfish

I have the same exact rifle. Now, you can really start spending money by adding: A two-stage trigger Scope free-float tube Hogue grip Magpul winter trigger guard Leather sling Ambi safety switch Ambi mag release Phantom flash hider Extra parts, like a spare bolt and bolt carrier, spring kit and so on Otis cleaning kit Soft and hard carrying case Extra magazines with Magpul followers and Ranger plates Lots and lots of ammo, bandoleers and GI ammo cans Hope you enjoy BRD!! |
