FEEL FREE TO POST MULTIPLE FIREARMS IN SEPARATE IMAGES, heck, you might have 4 or 5 GoTo AR's!
Lets see images and discuss our best AR's, the ones we trust 100%. Tell us why this particular AR rifle, sbr or pisol is your SHTF or DUTY GoTo. If you're at all like me, you may be collecting a lot of different AR's. This may be due to the current political climate, the rush of training or maybe simply because you think the AR is one of the best firearm designs ever conceived. Personally, I could never own too many AR's and hope to continue to add to the collection. That being said, I do have my favorites. My GoTo, must haves. MANY CHANGES HAVE COME I start with this KAC URX4 Mod 2 w/ E3 SR16 BCG  My Colt/Geissele 11-5 HRT. This is my first choice, day or night, GoTo AR.   My GoTo Hunting/Truck Gun. It's a 12-5 LMT in Caliber 6.8 SPC

The one with the Aimpoint PRO is mine: DD SBR lower, Colt 14.5” SOCOM barrel, Magpul furniture, Surefire G2X TAC in IWC mount. VCAS Sling. Also usually wears an AAC M4-2000. It does the work. The other 2 are sequential SN 6920’s decked out similarly (minus optic and light) for my boys when they turn 18 in a decade or so.

I really like the HK sights. I swapped the rear drum from the 416 version to one from a G3. The 416 was correct for the barrel length and sight radius but I found I prefer the open V of the G3 on the 100m setting. The aim point and front sight make for a great improvised ghost ring if the dot isn’t visible from being on the wrong setting or washed out from the light or whatever. I feel like I’m able to pick the dot up faster with the fixed front sight too. |

Oddly enough I'm starting to get there too. I was in this "wont shoot a center fire without one" phase, and I'm clear of it now.
Just been a pain to get qd adapters, or thread adapters, so now, my precision ar wears the can,and my 16" carry handle carbine will just have an a2 fh for now. |

My collection isn't nearly as impressive as many member's here. I have a good moonlighting gig doing hand drawn architectural renderings, home portraits, rifle portraits, slaps, (patches soon hopefully), etc. That's helped me fund this hobby. I don't play video games anymore or watch sports in the evenings. After the wife and kids go to bed, I start working again. I've accumulated what I have over the past decade using extra income. Subscribing to the 3 hobbies way of life has also helped; Everyone should have one hobby that makes them healthy, one hobby that makes them money, and one hobby that's purely for fun. I run (or at least I did before kid #3  ), I draw, I build/shoot guns. That's all...well, I don't know if drinking alcohol is considered a hobby, I'll lump that in with the art hobby. Back on track: Not mine, but I put this go to rifle together and painted it this weekend for my bro in law:   It's his first and only AR at the moment. Didn't give him the Elcan, but I zeroed it in, painted it for him and threw in a couple new 30 round pmags, and 80 rounds of ammo. I have a spare bushnell TRS 25 that I'm going to order a riser for and then I'll give him that next time I see him. Also need to get him an ambi safety as he's a lefty. Other manipulations aren't difficult, but an ambi safety is a huge improvement for a left handed operations IMO. Told him he needed to buy a case of ammo when it comes back down and 8 more mags. We can work on the handguard/weapon light/sling setup later. It's zeroed and he has two full mags for HD, that's a solid start. |

I was going to try a Thorntail Inline Mount, but was unsure if they did allow proper clearance for use of D-BaL's. I'm glad to know they do. That being said. With the newest offerings of M Series WML's from Surefire including such a vast array of possible positions, I believe these mounts will mostly be unnecessary. I JUST ORDERED AN SF M340C. It would work perfectly on my 10" MK4 Federal Rail, but unfortunately I purchased it for My 12-5 SIX8 LMT Build.

Another funny issue with the Steiner D-BaL. They do not clear Steiner's own WML offering. I had a Steiner MK4 that came with it's own mount. It would not come close to allowing for use of a Steiner D-BaL...One would think Steiner would take that into consideration seeing as they are the current purveyors of both products...

Old M&P Sport lower, with a DSG upper and barrel.
Yhm buis, PA 30mm optic and magnifier (which has been flawless through trunk gun duty and competition) and a TLR-1 light. It's not much, but this setup has served well for several years.  Attached File |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Hydra-shokz: Wanted to be able to take the light off at times. It turns black and I hate cleaning the damn thing. I'm honestly just playing around a bit and I'm bored out of my freakin' mind! I have a Arisaka mount for the light if I choose to go back. Dude, go back to the Arisaka. Take a bit of Vaseline or chapstick and smear some on your SF before you go shooting. It will clean up a lot easier! Wipe it off and hit the stubborn spots with a pencil eraser. |

I shot it today with the light on and the Larue lever thingy is digging into the webbing on my hand between my index finger and thumb. Not comfortable! I'm such a failure! But I did have fun drinking beer and swapping stuff around since the world is closed.  It's funny finding shit you forgot you had. I did firearm inventory today and I'm not telling my wife how many we have! ETA: In fact imma do it now. Crack a cold one and crank some Megadeth! Wife is going to bed anywho. |

Does anyone have the link to the challenge thread from this? It was some sort of unsupported but no prone shooting challenge. Can someone IM me the link?
