My first AR back in '03 when I joined here. It's an Eagle Arms lower with a Rock River parts kit, Cavalry Arms C1 Stock, and a Rock River "A3" midlength HBAR carbine upper (in all its AWB glory). I'm sorry I sold that upper on the EE. It was actually pretty accurate.

Right out of high school in 2002 I “built” my first AR. I used a mega lower, old carbine stock, RRA non-chrome lined HBAR upper, and a YHM fixed BUIS.
I don’t think I was technically AWB compliant (now that I think about it), I didn’t have a threaded muzzle or bayo lug but I did have an adjustable stock. I probably spend $1,000 building that thing too, and that was a good deal! |

Quote HistoryQuoted: A co-worker tried too sell a rifle to my brother that had a set screw muzzle brake. This was back in 1997. My brother wanted to test fire it first, and the muzzle brake flew off after a couple of rounds were fired. He later picked up a Bushmaster A2 clone (w/o muzzle brake and bayo lug) in 1998. Got alot of attention at the range that day. |
