AR-15 and M-16 Show And Tell

[Freedom4all]

Hard to find

I recently purchased an AR-15 and payed way to much I'm sure. I need to upgrade it. Any good web sights to shop at. I would like to stay with USA made stuff and possibly Indiana made!!!!

Just curious...why put a bipod on a light weight build? I know the Harris is light (I have one on my DMR clone), but typically bipods are associated with heavier builds disigned for accuracy with heavier target barrel profiles. Most (not all) light weight builds are typically done as highly mobile carbines where precision shooting is not the objective.

Not knocking your build by any means, just curious to the intended use of the rifle since it is somewhat in between.

The intended use for this is to shoot paper targets at the range. I don't have any intention of going back to a sandbox.

The goal for this build is to have a little more reach than the standard M4 builds while keeping it light. That is why the barrel is 16 inches and it has a free float rail. Lightweight barrels hold accuracy under "normal" rates of fire (tight group at the range). So you're in-between comment is correct. Being that I spent years in the light infantry, weight is always a thought (probably around 6 pounds w/ bipod). If the SHTF, I wouldn't hesitate to grab this rifle.

Bipods provide stability and I don't think they are exclusive to purely long distance shooting builds. That's why you see grips with them built in.

Thanks for the follow up. Again, not knocking the build...just looking for the intended use, and you clearly explained it. Thanks for your service!

The "kickstarter" backers have been sent out, black only so far.
Look for them at a soon from TangDown.

Would like some detailed picks of the moutn if you could.

Thanks!

Sorry for taking so long to respond. Here is the official release video from Haley Strategic. it will probably be more helpful than any pics I could share.

Hey Mike, do you know if that cover will fit on a Primary Arms Micro Dot?

Yes it will, but you might want to trim it a bit where it puckers up against the front of the illumination knob.
The knob on the PA sits a bi farther forward than the Aimpoint.

You can see it better from the top where the indicator doesn't line up with the number.

Is it very coastly to build an ar 15

 

[mvician]

Is it very coastly to build an ar 15

it depends in what you consider "costly"

Right now everything is high in price and out of stock most of the time.
Take your time and research, then shop wisely.


Picture thread.

My one and only AR. I decided to build a retro M16A1 about a year ago. Gunthings kit, Nodak lower engraved to look similar to the real thing.

Keeping my eyes open for a "reasonably" priced LE6920 to keep it company.

 

[ezdubbin97]

I like! I have often thought of doing a retro build. That sear pin engraving will make the ATF look twice though
