I do, Colt R6600-AR15A2 HBAR. Brought new around 1986 for $600

Used it in competition to get my Garand way back when, Garands were $165 through the DCM then. Ah, the good old days. Still have the Thumb Buster too.

Talk at me.

Yes, Colt HBAR I bought in the 80's.

My Dad still has the first AR I ever shot. Colt SP-1 Carbine he bought in the 70's.

Yes, Standard BM XM15E2 20" ...Shot quite a few highpower matches with it. Person I bought it from traded it on a DCM model.

ETA got it Summer 01

Yep - it's actually currently my only AR.

I just ordered another lower to remedy that situation. It's going to be turned into a 12.5" Kino config SBR

My dad bought me a BUshmaster XM15 for my 16th birthday, which was my first.

Yep.. it's a RRA lower/Bushmaster upper Frankenrifle, but that thing is reliable as all hell, and has been since day one.

Kind of. I'm still using 95% of the parts, but they've been redistributed around on other projects a couple of times.

Posted: 10/28/2010 7:03:42 PM EDT

[#8]

Nope, colt 16" H-bar. Shot the hell out of it and sold it for what I paid four years later.

Took the money and bought a FAL SAR-48.

Yes. A Colt Sporter II Carbine.

Used this past weekend for a carbine class. First time it's been out of the safe in close to 12 years.

I have sold only one weapon in my life. It was a Mini 14 and I used the funds to pay for a portion of my 1st (and only to date) AR.

Posted: 10/28/2010 7:10:39 PM EDT

[#14]

Yes; my first build too.

Right next to my third build.

My Colt was saying to me "Come get me...I love you long time".

I fell for it.

I've still got half of it.

Posted: 10/28/2010 7:15:27 PM EDT

[#19]

Yep and here it is:

Bushy 20 inch, bought during the AWB. Only things I have done; threaded barrel, to install birdcage and change grip to a Hogue.

Nope, traded my first AR, a RRA HBAR middy, for a G26 and then had an excuse to get another AR. This time it was a 6920.

Posted: 10/28/2010 7:17:43 PM EDT

[#22]

Yes. Complete, but it looks very different. Mega upper/lower.

Posted: 10/28/2010 7:17:53 PM EDT

[#23]

Yep. Bushmaster 16" A2 with M4 stock. It now sports an A2 stock and 20" Colt HBAR. I don't like 1/9 bbls.

Posted: 10/28/2010 7:19:33 PM EDT

[#24]

Yes, I bought a matching pair of Rock Rivers the same day, but one is now way more tacti-cooled out than the other.

Posted: 10/28/2010 7:19:34 PM EDT

[#25]

Heck no. Sold that thing to some sucker for $1700 right before the 94 ban.

Posted: 10/28/2010 7:19:44 PM EDT

[#26]

Yep, bought a Colt upper/Eagle Arms Lower A2 back in 1998. Still have it, still a great shooter.

Posted: 10/28/2010 7:20:02 PM EDT

[#29]

No,it was stolen a few years ago,along with a few other rifles.

Posted: 10/28/2010 7:22:53 PM EDT

[#30]

Yes. Colt SP-1, manufactured in 1977, bought it in 1992. Will probably never sell it. I think my son would love to have it. As soon as he gets out of school in New York.......

I bought a lower and upper, stock and BCG separately, and the only thing left is the lower and LPK

Lets just say, I found this website and the chart

Posted: 10/28/2010 7:32:52 PM EDT

[#37]

Yep

Posted: 10/28/2010 7:33:09 PM EDT

[#38]

Yes, will never sell it.

Posted: 10/28/2010 7:35:38 PM EDT

[#39]

but OF COURSE! who would sell ANY AR!

Posted: 10/28/2010 7:36:16 PM EDT

[#40]

Yes.
I just shot it on Sunday.

Posted: 10/28/2010 7:38:14 PM EDT

[#41]

Yes, 16" M4 Flattop DelTon I bought the day after BHO was elected for $789.

Shoots fine & I'll not be letting it go.

Bought a Bushmaster Post Ban M4A3 carbine about 2003. The one with the fixed M4 stock and Mini-Y comp.

I sold it about 2007, helped the guy I sold it to take off the Mini-Y and install a Phantom about 2008, traded barrels 2009. So I have the barrel on my primary carbine now. Armalite upper group, Lone Star Armory lower.

Lets just say, I found this website and the chart

Slippery slope, addiction, multiple AR's, parts, optics, mags, ammo, melted credit card, pissed wife or GF (need pic to determine) are possible, with reloading gear are in your future.

A roll pin can turn into an AR if you're not careful.

Danny

Up to 16 right now.

Posted: 10/28/2010 7:43:56 PM EDT

[#45]

Yes, I still have it. It is now low friction/high velocity modified, but all the original parts are bagged and labeled.
