AR-15 and M-16 Show And Tell

[jblomenberg16]

Nice rifle, although an interesting combination of features. Grip, stock, and flashlight make it appear to be a close range gun, but big scope makes it appear to be a longer range toy.

I think it's a perfect setup. Perhaps it's a short-midrange optic? I may be wrong, but it's definitely a variable power optic. A light makes sense on a modern SPR setup, as does the grip and the adjustable stock. Note the enhanced cheek weld; you can't get that with an A2. If the light helps with target identification in conjunction with the optic of choice, why not rock both? My SPR and Recon type ARs both have scopes, lights, and adjustable stocks. Just my $.02, YMMV.

Sorry if it sounded like I was knocking that set up...wasn't my intention. You are spot on...put the gear on that makes the rifle work best. A variable power scope is a great addition.

Pic thread:

Short (10.5"), Medium (16"), and Long (20"). My 16" is my all around, general purpose AR. Light weight, good glass (ACOG) and good ergonomics. The SBR is 300BLK, and shown without the YHM QD suppressor.

No worries, brother! It led to good conversation points.

Thank you Sir, I couldn't have explained it better myself. The scope is a Nikon 3-9x40 P223.

Added the new metal magpul front flip up sight. It's tiny and I love it! ~ that's NOT what she said

I'm going in the direction of scopes since I'm getting old and my eyesight sucks. I can focus on the cross hairs with the diopter adjustment and the target and sights are both clear. The 3x is nice for close in shooting.

My Windham Weaponry MPC.

My DMR I built awhile back. One of these days I will upgrade the optics, but this rifle is a great shooter so far.

Are you man enough to run PINK on your rifle?

I'm man enough to wear a pink John Deere t-shirt (yes, it was from the men's section) so I'd have no problem running a pink AR.

Nice MK3

^ Nice scope

Thanks, I will be doing a full range report this weekend. There doesn't seem to be much info on the MK3's out there especially the CBR, it has some awesome features for the price tag.

I usually like CMMG 308s, they machine their stuff a lot thinner than DPMS so they're usually 2 pounds lighter, plus their 15" 308 rail is pretty damn light, when I rebuilt my 308 I used that rail and was impressed. The ano wasn't perfect (RRA shade) but I like it. The midlength gas system on it compensates for the lighter weight too; it'll probbaly fell like it recoils less than my carbine length that weighs 2 pounds more
