My youngest son's AR is built around a "ban" era Armalite M15A4 midlength upper. It's a fantastic shooter, and very accurate. I've kind of had an eye out for one like it lately. I've also been kicking around the idea of a hunting AR along the lines of the Bushmaster Predator or RRA Coyote Carbine. I stopped by a local pawn shop and saw a couple of ugly AR's on the gun rack. One of them had a muzzle brake that caught me eye and I had to check it out. Turns out to be an Armalite midlength carbine from the ban days.  Krylon camo job, pinned butt stock on a rifle length buffer tube.  Chinese "tactical" light, this thing has a yellow lens and a weak 3 led bulb.  It did come with a detachable carry handle and a "Colt" 3x20 scope.  How do I tell if this "Colt" scope is legit or a fake?   But it is an Armalite, in great condition  Thanks to JoelK on the EE, I picked up a Realtree camo furniture set and decided to do a "makeover"  I stuck the ATN optic on it temporarily, not sure if I'll stick with it or try something else.  And here's a view of how the camo looks against some typical fall Texas groundcover  |
