Favorite AR-15?

[EGParatrooper]

Still like my trusty SP1

BCM Recce 16.

Same here Gabriel...lightweight, flat shooting, ultra reliable and damn good looking to boot!

Ohh boy. I'm stuck between the gems.

The first one that came to mind was a Radian Weapons Model One. It felt so unbelievably smooth. They put the best parts on it and the functionality was somehow better than other similarly designed rifles.

My other tie would be the LMT MARS. If you've never been blessed with the opportunity to shoot an LMT, I wish it for you. They are pieces of art.

I also trust BCM rifles and my Jack Carbine from them is a solid and fun shooter.

The Holy Grail of SP1s. With the vinyl covered aluminum stock too. Those have really shot up in price. They hit 2k on GB often. Sometimes more. I have a 5 digit carbine with issues. Currently looking for the correct barrel. It now has a newer Colt 1 in 7 twist barrel. Edit to add a really bad pic.

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.

I recognize that view, and Young's is the perfect playground for those rifles!

How can you monsters just pick one?

Also . . . looks like p-dog wins, although that Super Duty tho.

 

[Ndavid45]

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

Mil spec trigger for now. It might get a drop in trigger once i decide which one.

How true ! ...... there are so many to love.

I have quality factory-built rifles (BCM, etc) that I really like, but my favorite would have to be the one that a well-known member (who might wish to remain anonymous) helped me assemble.
With the 18.3" Ballistic Advantage stainless barrel, and a LaRue MBT 2-stage trigger, it's accurate, and a real joy to shoot .... and isn't that what it's all about.

I call it the Blue Mink.

That super duty indeed....

Is that range set-up at your new property?

Oh how I wish it were.

No, that's the Young's Longshot range up near Wolcottville. It's a phenomenal place to shoot long range.

Put this one together and really like the size and handling, but can't seem to find 7.62X39 mags that will work reliably.

9x39 feeds out of lancer mags and uses the same bolt. 7.62x39 just doesn't mix with an AR magwell

"9X39"?...do you mean X39? What are you saying here? That I should try Lancer mags?

I put together a 7.62x39 AR15 for my nephew it loves CPD mags. They call them Duramag now. 10 and 28rd mags have worked great for him. He uses cheap Russian made ammo like Wolf, Tula, and Golden Tiger which gives him the best accuracy of the three.

My Nephews wedding gift. Franken15 7.62x39
He's added a red dot and a 3x magnifier to it since this picture.

No I mean swap the barrel to a caliber that actually works in an ar15's geometry. 9x39 is the way to go if you must go Russian.

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

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

I thought this was a silly distinction. Then I built a 1911. I now realize that it's a big difference.

I'm saving this picture for the next time someone asks me what I would do if I won the lottery. Beautiful collection!

Question: What is that on the trigger guard of the center rifle?
