AR-15 and M-16 Show And Tell

[TAT7]

brings back not so fond memories of cleaning my M-4, sandstorm, cleaning my M-4, sandstorm, cleaning my M-4.....you get the idea. The white # 459 brings back the memory of our rifle company. Our supply sergeant used red in the same fashion. My rifle's red looked pretty close to that after a year in the sandbox - not white, but faded pretty close. Nice piece of history you got there!!!

Thanks man, it sure does bring back some memories for sure

Did you use some light blue on that? Definitely an interesting combo.

No blue. It's tan, army green, and earth brown rustoleum. The colors are better and more defined in person.

My first AR

I know a lot of forums wont allow new people to upload photos but I figured I'd give it a try.
This is my build so far. I have been wanting to build an AR for several years now but a coworker finally convinced me to start. I'll update with a parts list when it is complete.

Jealous of the "Lights Out..." patch; I don't qualify for one. Do you recall which Butler Creek you have on your PVS, and does the pin hole help enough with close focus to make it worth it?

All you have to do for a lights out patch is take one of their training classes....

The Butler Creek is the 09A Size. You will need to add a small piece of electrical tape along the inside of it to get the proper fitting. It does work with the close focus. I gave it a whirl because for the max I would be out is 10 dollars instead of the 100 for a hoplite. For drilling the hole, I cant remember the size but I dont think it was recommended to not go higher then 5mm, so I would start small and work your way up and test (or find the arfcom thread that talks about it in detail). The only draw back is you are restricting most of the light coming in, so its best used in a place that has a lot of ambient light. So if its really dark, you will still have to manually focus.... I mainly use it so I don't have to use that stupid rubber one that you always worry about losing or Velcro-ing to the side.

When I bought mine they told me you had to be .mil or LEO to get one... Thanks for the ButlerCreek info, I'll give it a try!

Jolly...sweet setup. What DBAL is that?

 

[seedubs1]

Larue stealth 18" barrel, geissele sd-e trigger, matched aero upper/lower, SMOS handguard, DD BCG, and a Surefire procomp.

Still waiting on my Sightron S-Tac 2.5-17.5 to ship.

I'm at 7.8lbs right now. Feels really well balanced. Not bad for an SPR. The goal was to have a really accurate rig that's not a beast to carry around. I'm pretty happy with how it's turning out.
