Hello Everyone, Well, I joined this site about 6 months ago, and after lurking for a while, decided that I also wanted to own an AR-15. My first instinct was to purchase one already completed, but after reading from so many of you that recommended building your own, I purchased a kit for the buttstock and upper received and finally the lower from someone on this board. I decided to build an M4 style gun, and after it was up and running will upgrade it with scopes, flashlights or rails, or whatever else I want. But in the meantime I took some pictures and I wanted to show off a bit. The only thing that I am missing is the trigger guard, which is the first upgrade I am purchasing, and is on the way. It is a rounded trigger guard by rock river arms, which I will install soon. I also want to thank everyone's encouragement, as well as all of the great guides that are on this board to find information about the AR15.. and now that I had the opportunity to build my gun, I am grateful because I know more about my AR15 than I know about any of my other guns. Please enjoy the pics, and feel free to post any positive or negative things you think. http://stargate10c.com/Pictures/AR15/dsc00074.jpg http://stargate10c.com/Pictures/AR15/dsc00075.jpg http://stargate10c.com/Pictures/AR15/dsc00076.jpg http://stargate10c.com/Pictures/AR15/dsc00077.jpg Thanks Docfate |
i'm still waitin' on my upper. i like the colored "safe" and "fire", dig the auto dot, too. surprised you went with the fixed carry handle, so many people are into the rail tops, now. looks classic.
Yeah, I'm not really into the Rail Top. I like the classic look of the gun. I figure that I can just put a scope on the top if I ever want one, but other than taht, I like the look of the handle, as well as I like the idea of having someplace to carry the gun if need be. Thanks for the compliment, I appreciate it. Docfate |
Sorry I meant "the writing on the side" i was curious who the manufacturer is. |
Alright.. I'm going to wait unitl I get my rounded trigger guard, then I will take it outside in the daylight and take some pictures of it so that you can see better pics. Docfate |

Alright guys.. I havent' yet fired my weapon, and am probably going to go to the range in 2 weeks to try out my gun. I've cleaned it out, oiled it, and I think it's pretty much ready to break it in. Does anyone out there have any suggestions on the proper way to break in my new AR? Thanks Docfate |
