I don't understand half of what goes on around here either. Congratulations on your purchase. Now get out there and shoot it.

The great thing about the AR-15 is that ammo is cheap. I thought I would just use this as a plinker but all I do now is see how accurate I can get with it. Its also very addictive, and can quickly draw in your paycheck buying ammo, triggers, floating barrel assembly, weights, and other fine items.
Have fun. Bill3508 |

Hey, guys, cut him a little slack. I have seen some of his posts where he was thinking about purchasing this rifle. Siennfein, if the muzzle attachment threads off, it is a flash suppressor. If it is permanently-attached, it is a muzzle brake. The only time a flash suppressor is permanently-attached is on civilian 14.5" barrels to yield the legal 16" barrel length. Congrats!

M4Madness: It has to thread off because there are two flats across the back for a wrench. I tried to take it off but I need to take it to work where I can use the vice. Thanks again guys. Im sooooo glad I picked the AR over the HKSL8-1

siennfein, welcome to the club. You were a lucky bastard getting it for the price you did. Good job! Glad you checked in here for advice. So are you planning on turning it into a carbine, keeping the original upper, or putting another 20" upper on it? Anyway, what a great find (and investment). You'll be thanking yourself for years. PS: You're correct, much better than the HKSLB-1. Especially for the money. |

I actually got it for a bit less than he wanted to sell it for. I bought it for $950. As for upgrades I kinda wanted to get a bi-pod, 14 power scope, maybe a bullbarrel and free float tube and I also want to change the safety abit to accomodate my left handedness. I need a good gun case first and was originally considering a "tactical bag type" but I think a hard plastic would be better. When I figured out it was a pre-ban I was reluctant to ask him more questions about it because it was obvious he didnt know the market on pre-bans. He said he only fired 20-30 rounds through it and it shows. This gun is immacualte.

let's see if we can go one better:
 let me know if it shows or is a red x because it's probably still in my cache. |

Judging by your pics, your AR15 upper is a preban, your camera at work is digital & your camera at home is a POS webcam.
 I can tell because my POS webcam pics look like your do. ColtShorty GOA KABA COA JPFO SAF NRA "I won't be wronged, I won't be insulted and I won't be laid a hand on. I don't do these things to other people and I require the same from them." |

Its a red X for me Vinnie. Thanks for trying though. I have about 4-5 pics on that yahooo sight of my CAR-15, Glock and other hobbies I have. If I new how to post pics I would post them. BTW, there is also a closeup of the flash suppressor...or at least I think its a flash suppressor.

I did what? BBBBBBWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAA! Congrats, get us some clearer pics. I looked through your photoalbum. Looks like you got a muzzle-brake and not a flash-hider. Hard to tell the pics are really dark. That your shop? |

That's a nice looking AR! Now, lose the USA mags and get some USGI 30rd'ers. Try these places for some:
www.gunbroker.com or www.auctionarms.com Please be aware of shipping charges. If you can't get a better price than $30 WITH shipping for a new in wrapper mag, then skip it and keep looking. |

Those pics are actually with a $500 Digi camera. I just havnt used it a whole lot and dont know how to get the best pics. My rooms a little dark but I know this thing has a flash on it. Yep Boom thats where I work. I'll try to get some better pics though. BTW, I know this thing threads off....could it still be a barrel break if it threads on? Oh yea, the barrel is actually only 19" without this screw on peice but its 21 and some odd " with it on.
