It's right at 1.5 years for me since I first bought anything AR related. Being unemployed really puts the kibosh on AR spending.
At the one year mark, I had one complete rifle and 2 more complete lowers. |

Don't know if you can count mine as I'm selling the first (never fired) but I sold the upper intending to just replace the upper, then I sold the BCG to swap it out, now I said "the heck with it, I want a matching lower" and am selling my original lower.
Optics are going to be hellish for me someday...EOTech to Aimpoint, back to EOTech...it's gonna be scary. |

I've had my first since February but still haven't bought a second. Too po' haha
I'm still buying junk to put on the first one and trying to feed it, plus I have a DPMS LR-308B on order. But I figure, unless it's made illegal, I'll have another one within a year or so.

About 5 years. Bought the first one a couple years after the AW ban, and then bought a SP1 before the end of the ban.
My first Bushmaster has shot many more cases of all my other AR's combined.

I had the the cash, I would have 4 or 5 variants built out and another 6 lowers in the safe. Unfortunately, the kids gotta eat, I am stuck with 1 for now.

I'd say 8 years. I bought my first in o1' and then I bought 4 lowers and have since complete one. So I have 2 complete AR's at this time.

Mine were several years apart. I know it is blasphemy, but there are other guns to buy for the arsenal beside AR's! All of my AR's have been purchased about +2 years apart.

I just finished my first AR build and once I get the accessories I want on it I think I will look to purchase other battle rifles that I have always wanted like the M1,M14 or AK47. If I did get another AR variant it would be in 6.8 or 7.62 with a good gas system.

born 65 Yup, summer '71 was a very good time, just graduated from high school, was in Seattle then, got about $200 money from graduation and birthday gifts so I got my first brand new AR from a surplus store in downtown Seattle. Used that first AR for 13 years without any problems and sold it in excellent used condition to buy my second A2 SP2 AR which is my first with 1/7 twist A2 barrel, A2 furniture, and forward assist. That was a great time too because I also got a new Springfield M1A National Match (M14 type) rifle but I still prefer my AR.

After the shock and awe of my first?...maybe five days. Took me two months to get it tho.
After trying to unscramble all the different variants, FF rails, KISS, bbl. lengths, carry handle, red dots, etc. in my head while driving to work I know I need to build at least three more. |

About .5 seconds
I bought two lowers at the same time... Got my first upper last summer, working on saving my pennies for my second (hopefully a larue 18/12). I actually ordered a del-ton upper a few weeks back, but I don't have much hope of seeing it before the end of the year :( |
