    What’s your favorite AR-15?

    My current favorite is my DDM4V7 Pro. The rifle length gas system is very smooth. Light recoil, great trigger, can shoot fast and easy to keep on target.

    I also have a PWS Mk116 mod 2, which as a piston gun is different. There are some interesting features, like a mounting rail that combines picatinny/1913 with keymod. It’s a fun one but overall not as pleasant as the DD.

    It would be interesting to find out what people’s top choices are.

    I think my favorite is my Windham MPC. I have had it for several years and it has seen many different configurations (now back to standard 16" M4). That rifle eats everything I shove it it with out a hiccup, runs very well dry, and is more accurate than most of my other AR's. If I had to call one a go-to rifle, this one would be it.

    My Mk12(ish) builds are my favorite and the one in front is my top pick. My most useful is a LMT lower under a WOA built 1-7.7 twist Krieger and a Trijicon IR Hunter.

    My favorite is a build i did and is still a work in progress. Wilson combat stripped lower with a GI style lower parts kit (for now), Battle Arms extended bolt catch, blue timber creek extended mag release, shockwave brace and blue strike industries trigger guard. Stripped upper is unknown out of the spare parts bucket, 10.5 Faxon pencil barrel/gas block combo, black rifle depot 7" slim mlock handgaurd, bootleg bcg, strike industries blue extended latch charging handle, strike industries blue billet dust cover. It's topped with a sig romeo 5.

    I've never had a factory built rifle but am definitely happy with this build and it is much better than any build I've done in the past.

    I don't have that many to pick from, but my favorite is probably my 10.5" Daniel Defense pistol. That said, I recently picked up an 18" Larue Tactical Stealth 2.0, so I'm looking forward to seeing what that baby shoots like.

    It would have to be my Noveske 18" SPR 5.56 rifle. Easily the most accurate AR I've owned. So far in my testing at 100 yards, it shoots sub-moa with 6 different factory loads and at moa or just a hair over moa with a couple more brands, everything from 55gr up to 77gr. I've gotten Wolf Gold to shoot 1.2 - 1.3" groups multiple times. It has an intermediate length gas system, in between mid and rifle. I planned on doing more ammo testing this year, but the "pandemic" ruined that plan.

    Did you go with a mil spec trigger or something else?

    My current favorite is the one I am lovingly assembling.

    We always say we are building these but seriously people....we assemble these.

    I build my 1911's. I assemble the AR's.
