AR Rifle pic thread

2018 Colt SOCOM...14.5 pinned and welded birdcage, KAC rail, ambi selector, side mounted sling swivel, etc...note the new CR colt serial number, I had heard they stopped using the LE numbers and that is confirmed...all new Colt lowers start with CR, and contrary to the internet rumors, CR does not stand for Civilian Rifle, it stands for Colt Rifle (I called Colt and asked). Also noticed no more C marks...everything has a cage number now.
Minus Spot Report...it did not come with the full selection of rail covers that come with the KAC, although they did include the KAC broom handle.

Not the best photo guy...

God I want one of those cutout rails. Totally amazing.

While it’s not a DD rail, you can be the proud owner of a KAC RAS MRE-B

Pic thread. Built this last week from an Aero M4E1 builders set with 15” R-One mlok rail (the attachment method is way cool), 16” BA 223 Wylde premium fluted barrel w/ 1:8 twist, CMC 2.5lb flat trigger, Steiner PX4i optic, Radian Raptor CH, Griffin Armament M2 buis, and not pictured but now equipped is an Arisaka mlok finger stop and a Streamlight in one of their offset mounts. @Will yalls shipping is ridiculously fast. I mean Midway’s Nitro express has nothing on yall

I actually bought a SOCOM upper with the DD FDE cutout rail off the EE a few weeks ago. Just need to go get my LE6920s to repurpose one of the lowers to the upper then I'll take some pics.

This one seems a little less precision-y and more sporty than your others.

Should try some 2 gun or carbine matches with it!

I would see it on SF rifles with S&B short dots in the early GWOT...that’s where I first became acquainted with them

The SOPMODs have weight reduction cuts under the cheek pads

It was probably the most difficult stock I’ve ever put on a rifle. It’s solid though

And its the biggest pain in the butt of a stock I've ever taken off a rifle lol

Nice. I bet you are going to really enjoy it!

My latest: Colt AR15A4, replacing the Colt HBAR I sold 30 years ago and regretted it ever since. Nothing fancy, just a basic issue AR but with the prancing pony on the magazine well.

Shot it yesterday. Trigger is really bad so I'm ordering a RRA two stage trigger for it. I have one in my Stag lower, it really makes a difference.

Right To Bear has the Rock River NM and Varmint Triggers for $89. I use the Varmint because it comes with lighter springs. It gives you a 3-3 1/2 pound trigger that breaks clean.
 
Indeed.

A mutt, cheapo build. Around 2k through it. Mostly steel case, a touch of brass. Can’t figure out the difference between a $400 ak and a$1k one so this got built.

Gets no love and much abuse but has never had a hiccup if the occasional tulammo dud is excluded:)

I put one together with a PSA complete upper. I’ve probably got 6-700 rounds through it, no hiccups at all. Fun to shoot with cheap steel ammo. With handloads I get about 2” groups @ 100 yards.

I had one of their uppers. I swapped out the fsb for a lo-pro gas block and added a cheap (about $25) quad rail.

If there was ever a rifle that should come with a bump stock, that was it. Lol.... In fact, that's what I did when my brothers and a few friends got together to celebrate my Dad's 70th birthday. Talk about fun? Those college boys brought their cornhole boards and some game where you slap a frisbee into a trash can, but when I broke out the x39 sewing machine, that other junk was kicked to the curb. :D
