Nice toys!

Got the Wife's early birthday present done tonight (B-day is in June, lol).

10.5" 5.56 barrel
Anderson upper and lower (she assembled the stripped lower herself)
UTG PRO super slim 9" handguard (surprisingly solid and well made)
TRS-25 red dot
Rit dyed K2 grip and mags

That's bad! I like it, T-Dogg! The rit dyed grip and mags seal the deal! Well done!

I thought about dyeing my furniture a deep dark green, but the wife said "But, I like it like it is.."

Here is my latest addition to the AR family. My SPR, I built it with the idea of precision shooting inside of 200yrds an so far results are very nice. Just need a bit more time behind the trigger.

Thank you, I appreciate that. My wife is very happy with it. She's probably more pleased that one of our guns is actually hers and not just one I said was hers (we've all done that, right?)

I really like that setup, clean and simple. The stainless fluted barrel gives it nice contrast too and who doesn't like stainless, right?

Haha. Yes. When I bought my second AR it was really for me, until my gf said that she'd like to have one so that one became "hers". She never really thought of it as hers until last summer when I started getting her furniture and optics she liked and she was the one shooting it exclusively. It really became hers when she named it and this has made a big difference in how she feels about the rifle and shooting in general. She now sees shooting as a hobby that we share rather than my hobby that she tags along to.

Still a work in progress but coming along

Ha ha kinda what I was thinking as well.. An thanks, but I was a bit skeptical at first with how the shiny stainless would look all my ARs are black so wanted something different for the SPR. Its growing on me I have to say I really am liking it also.

My first AR I built from scratch ~8yrs ago

Very nice. Been going back and forth about whether to build or buy lately...

To cheap to build right now, brand new Colt LE6920MOE for $800 right now, why build?

 

[jahoppe50]

Good point. I could always build one down the road

Good point. A quality build can still be done below that price point but a Colt will retain it's value infinitely better than a build ever would.

If you ever have the intention of reselling, than that is the way to go. But if you're keeping it long term, than I would build. You could build a comparable rifle for at least $100 cheaper, probably more.

Where do we get 6920's for $800? Not disputing your claim, but I'd like to pass along the information to people I know.

never seen even them priced that low and if I did I'd likely buy one just as an investment for the next black gun panic.
